Astro LS10 Hot Melt Unit, 2 H/G

Astro Packaging/Slautterback® LS10 Hot Melt Glue Machine

The Astro Packaging/Slautterback® LS10 glue machine is a reliable all-electric hot melt system ideal for manual packaging and product assembly applications. The LS10 offers a fast and economical alternative to tape, cold glue and metal fasteners.  The LS10 glue machine features a Teflon®-coated 10 lb. tank and a heated hose and handgun that comes equipped with a single orifice nozzle. The rugged construction of the heated hose features a reinforced Teflon® core with stainless-steel braided cover. 

The LS10 is easy to operate and maintain. Simply plug the system into an electrical power supply and allow it to warm up. After initial warm up, the pump switch on the melt unit control panel activates the electric motor-driven pump. A positive displacement gear pump delivers up to 69 pounds (31 kg) of adhesive per hour. 

Adhesive flows under pressure through a heated hose to the handgun. Activating the handgun trigger allows adhesive to pass through the nozzle; releasing the trigger stops adhesive flow in­stantly with no drips or drools. An adjustable flow control valve regulates pump output to meet application adhesive requirements . The melt unit and handgun/hose assembly utilize separate controls for efficient temperature regulation up to 450°F (232°C).
