Fulfill Retrofit for Mesat Melters Description The Mesa Fulfill Retrofit Kit converts a Mesa melter into an automatic fill system that maintains adhesive in the melter, improving productivity and reducing maintenance. The retrofit kit adds adhesive to the sealed tank, reducing the possibility of char, contaminants, thermal shock and incorrect adhesive temperatures that result in poor adhesive bonding.
Fulfill Retrofit for Mesat Melters Theory of Operation NOTE: Refer to Appendix A, Retrofit Refill System With Nordson Level Sensor, for updated information. Overview The system adds small quantities of adhesive to the sealed tank at regular intervals, reducing the possibility of adhesive char, contaminants, thermal shock and incorrect adhesive temperatures that result in poor bonding.
Fulfill Retrofit for Mesat Melters Pneumatic & Mechanical Components Refer to Figure 3 as you learn about the components of the Mesa Fulfill retrofit assembly. Figure 3 Assembled Mesa Fulfill retrofit assembly. (1). Adhesive Storage Bin Place adhesive in the adhesive storage bin. The bin contains a gasket that prevents debris from entering the bin.
The thumb screws mount the lid to the melter. The thumbscrews can be replaced by Allen head screws supplied in the ship with kit. Do not remove the lid during operation, unless the system is disabled by turning power off at the control box. Part 1121938_02 E 2013 Nordson Corporation...
Fulfill Retrofit for Mesat Melters Electrical Components NOTE: Refer to Appendix A, Retrofit Refill System With Nordson Level Sensor, for updated information. (6). Control Box The control box contains the membrane panel and PCA. It connects to the melter via the supplied bracket. An optional remote mount kit is available to mount the control box away from the melter.
Fulfill Retrofit for Mesat Melters NOTE: Refer to Appendix A, Retrofit Refill System With Nordson Level Sensor, for updated information. See Figure 5. The PCA is inside the control box: Figure 5 PCA board (located inside the control box) Connect line voltage to the control box at the supplied terminal block and ground.
NOTE: The fault outputs will engage simultaneously. (7). Sensor (Not Shown) NOTE: Refer to Appendix A, Retrofit Refill System With Nordson Level Sensor, for updated information. The level sensor detects the level of adhesive in the melter tank. When the adhesive falls below the set point, the level sensor sends a signal to the Fulfill control box.
CAUTION! Remove dirt and debris from the melter before proceeding with these procedures. 6. See Figure 7. Remove the five screws that secure the pump/lid support bracket, and then remove the bracket. Set the screws aside for reassembly. Part 1121938_02 E 2013 Nordson Corporation...

RetroFit Refill System with Nordson Level Sensor Sensor Calibration The following sections will describe the various methods available to calibrate the level sensor. For all calibrations, the button(s) must be held for 5 seconds in order to be recognized. For best results, the unit should be at application temperature when calibration is performed.
RetroFit Refill System with Nordson Level Sensor Basic (Empty Level) Calibration CAUTION! Do not attempt empty calibration with a full melter. Doing so will result in an overfill condition. 1. Allow tank to reach application temperature. 2. Adhesive level should be at or below the bottom of the probe.
