Overview of Hot Melt Glue Hose :
Hot melt glue hoses are electrically-heated, flexible conduits designed for the transfer of hot-melt material from a glue tank to an applicator (head or handgun). Hoses are heated by resistance heaters which are wrapped around the hose core and covered with high-temperature insulation. A sensor located in the hose provides temperature information to the controller.
- Hot melt hoses are available in a variety of sizes to fulfill any customer need.
- The multi-layer construction offers great insulation making sure that hot melt is dispensed evenly and reliably.
- Customized plugins and connections according to special requirements.

Proper Glue Hose Installation
Improper routing and installation of a glue hose can shorten the service life. With a few simple steps, you can maximize the life of the glue hose, keep employees safe and keep your production lines running.
1. Proper Hose Length
For areas where hoses will be installed in a straight line, the length must be longer than the distance from port to port. As the hose is heated, the diameter increases to contain the force of the glue and the length will decrease. Some hoses have decreased in length up to 2 inches.
In this case, if the hose is too short and there isn’t enough slack, the hose fitting connections will be under stress, causing a possible leak. Even worse, a catastrophic failure of the hose breaking loose from the fitting could occur causing the pressurized hot adhesive to flow.
2. Avoiding Hose Twist
Metal hose cores in a glue hose have mechanical strain limits with regards to twisting. Tighten fittings using two wrenches or “double wrenching”; one to hold the fitting from twisting and the other to tighten the hose connection. To further prevent twisting, limit the bending motion of the hose to a single-dimensional “plane” when routing. A hose bending only left to right, only up and down, or only forward and backward is moving in a single plane. Any combination of left/right, forward/backward, and up/down movement represents 2 planes of motion and all three represent 3 planes of movement. A compound bend can occur with multiple planes of motion and this can cause the hose to twist since the hose ends are fixed and held tight. Try to limit routing to a single plane, but, if your application requires hose movement to cross multiple planes, ask a Keystone rep for a recommendation.
3. Abrasion and Attachments
Another cause of premature hose failure is abrasion of the outside hose cover, exposing insulation, wiring, and possibly the hose core. Live wires being exposed is a safety issue and should be avoided at all costs. Use proper hose hangers and keep moving hoses from rubbing against other surfaces. Clamps, zip ties, and any other restrictive attachments should not be used on hoses since they can press on the wiring and cause hot spots. These hot spots will cause untimely hose failures and could burn through the metal hose core causing an unsafe catastrophic failure.
