    This custom made 250-gallon melter is made with a long sloping funnel leading to a large, heated drain valve. The melter is controlled with a remote digital controller at 400F.  A stirrer maintains  the consistency of a special wax compound during the melt cycle. This melter will be mounted later onto a stand, to allow room for a container under the drain..

    MULTI MELTERS WITH INTERCHANGEABLE POTS
    wenesco multi melter

    Wenesco's MU series Multi-Melters can be used to melt separate batches of product using a main melter with interchangeable pots.  The main melter nests the pot just over a convection heater, which is controlled with a remote digital thermostat. The pot and contents are easily removed from the main melter.   

    Our Multi Melters include two stainless steel pots with handles.

                    MODEL INJ102A-120V                                       MODEL INJ102B-240V

    Self-contained Injectors are designed to dispense controlled quantities of hot liquids such as wax, plastisol, and other compounds from any melter equipped with a heated drain. All plumbing is stainless steel.

    The heart of our injector is a positive displacement pump, which dispenses an exact amount of material in a range of 0 to 4 gallons (15 liters) per minute. Flow is controlled with a variable frequency drive. Other pumps are available up to 24 GPM

    The entire system is contained in an insulated heated chamber which is controlled with an accurate, adjustable, digital thermostat. The temperature range of the system is adjustable from 70F to 450F.Actual temperature and set point is displayed in C and F.

    An optional heated hose, as shown, will also be controlled with a built in digital thermostat.

    As an option, an electronic timer, may be wired into the system to accurately control the dispensing cycle.

     

    Heated Hoses, ready for connection to the injector, feature a stainless steel braid wrapped around a Teflon core. Stainless swivel fittings permit fast connect-disconnect from the system.

    Heated hoses are available in many sizes; ask Wenesco for quote.

     

     Model DIS 10308 Thermal Micro-dispenser

    Wenesco model DIS10308 consists of a small melter with an electric valve, for accurate dispensing measured drops (62u.L) of a wax-like compound.  

    Temperature of the compound is controlled in a range of 70 to 300F with a digital thermostat. Flow is measured using an accurate electronic timer which actuates the valve. (.01 sec increments)    

    The timer is started with a footswitch, and an interchangeable nozzle is provided to direct the flow into the mold.  

    All wetted parts and the main housing are made from 304 stainless steel. A mounting bracket is located on the back of the housing. 

    Overall size: (housing) 6in dia, X 8in high.
    Tank liner: (crucible) 3in dia X 4in high (12 oz)
    Power: 120V, 100W

    STIRRERS

    Stirrers are available with your choice of conventional propellers or “side wiping” propellers that clean the melter's wall during the heat cycle.. The entire stirrer is easily removed from the melter for cleaning or service.
       Stirrers for larger melters and higher torque are quoted to requirements.  Variable speed control is available for most stirrers.
