Is Hot Melt Glue Produced Continuously Or Intermittently?

Published by JCT 2026-01-08

Most hot melt glue is currently produced in batches; continuous production is mainly used for standardized hot melt glue with stable formulas and large production volumes.

 

Intermittent Hot Melt Glue Production (Most Common)

Process characteristics

  • One vessel per batch
  • Feeding → melting → mixing → discharging
  • Quick formula switching between batches

Advantages

  • Highly adaptable to various formulas
  • Relatively low equipment investment
  • Mature technology adn stable quality
  • Suitable for multi-variety, small-batch, or medium-capacity production

Continuous Hot Melt Glue Production (Specific Scenarios)

Process characteristics

  • Continuous feeding, continuous mixing and continuous discharging
  • Stable process parameters

Advantages

  • High output per unit
  • High degree of automation
  • Low energy consumption and high efficiency

 

 

From the customer's long-term operational prespective:

  • Hot melt glue formulas are frequently adjusted
  • Raw material batches fluctuate
  • Highly sensitive to charring and localized overheating

Intermittent operation is safer, more stable, and offers better risk control.

Hot melt glue production can be carried out using either continuous or intermittent processes. Currnetly, the industry mainly uses intermittent production because it is more suitable for producing a wide variety of hot melt glue due to its strong formula adaptability, stable operation, adn low investment risk. Continuous production is mainly used for standardized products with fixed formulas and large production volumes.
