Astro SS10 Bulk Hot Melt Tank Overview
The Astro SS10 bulk hot melt tank is a durable, reliable and affordable bulk hot melt unit that blows a lot of the other brand names (we're looking at you Nordson) out of the water when it comes to features and price.
The SS10 can support two hot melt hoses and guns and includes the industry favorite TC500 temperature controller. The TC500 makes it easy to view temperature and zone settings as well as diagnostics on-screen.
The SS10 is a Nordson DuraBlue Drop-in Replacement
This unit is completely interchangeable with the Nordson DuraBlue 15 and other bulk equipment including ITW, Melton and Nordson DuraBlue units. It uses the same Ni120 sensors insuring it will run seamlessly with any Nordson or other competitive hoses, guns and modules.
