How to Clean Tanks
- Drain system of all existing hot melt.
- Fill tank with 'DETERMELT 1' or 'DETERMELT 4' and heat to 100°C -140°C.
- For jetting systems, if possible circulate the cleaner by placing the gun over the open tank for up to 4 hours.
- For wheel and dauber applicators fill the pots and once melted run the machine to agitate the cleaner.
- For premelters, simply leave to soak.
- Drain the system and fill with fresh hot melt (1/3 of the tank capacity) and heat to between 120°C and 140°C.
- Drain again to eliminate any undissolved material and residual cleaner.
- Refill with fresh hot melt and return the temperatures to the application temperature before production begins.
