Auto-Feed Glue Systems
Eliminate downtime. Refill safely. Keep production flowing.
Auto-feed glue systems ensure your hot melt tanks are always properly filled — without the need for manual refills. By automating the replenishment process, these systems help increase efficiency, reduce operator exposure to heat, and prevent system starvation or charring.
Auto-Feed Glue System Brands We Carry
We provide reliable, industrial-grade glue feeders for a range of operations:
Astro Packaging
Astro Packaging autofeed systems automatically deliver bulk adhesive to hot melt units, reducing manual refills and improving operator safety. They are configured to match your tank capacity, adhesive type, and production demands, helping maintain consistent adhesive levels and minimize line interruptions.
Nordson
Nordson autofeed systems are designed to keep hot melt tanks filled from bulk containers, improving uptime and reducing adhesive degradation from repeated open‑lid refills. With properly sized pumps and controls, they support stable adhesive temperature, consistent viscosity, and more efficient operation on high‑speed lines.
ITW Dynatec®
ITW Dynatec autofeed systems automate adhesive transfer from drums, totes, or bulk containers into hot melt units, cutting labor and exposure to hot surfaces. By maintaining optimal tank levels and reducing char‑forming cycles, they help extend equipment life and deliver more consistent adhesive performance.

What is an Auto-Feed Glue System?
An auto-feed glue system uses a vacuum or pneumatic process to transfer hot melt pellets from a storage hopper into your tank, maintaining optimal levels without manual handling. These systems use sensors to monitor fill levels and trigger replenishment automatically.
Key features include:
- Closed-system safety
- Consistent glue availability
- Reduced operator interaction
- Dust-free adhesive handling
- Less thermal shock and fewer clogs
Benefits of an Auto-Feed System
