Abstract: Systems and methods for enhanced hot melt liquid dispensing system management are disclosed. In an example method for determining an operating instruction for a hot melt liquid dispensing system having an applicator and a heater, the operating instruction is determined based on a filtered applicator parameter value associated with gun cycle counts of the applicator and a filtered heater parameter value associated with duty cycle values of the heater. The filtered applicator parameter value is determined based on historic applicator parameter values that are updated according to a current applicator parameter value. The filtered heater parameter value is determined based on historic heater parameter values that are updated according to a current heater parameter value.

Abstract: Systems and methods for adaptive preventative maintenance are disclosed. In a method to determine a maintenance interval estimate for equipment, a first maintenance interval estimate associated with the equipment is provided. The first maintenance interval estimate is expressed according to a usage metric associated with the equipment. An indication that the equipment has been replaced may be received. An elapsed usage of the equipment in a time period may be determined. The time period may span from a reference time point associated with the first maintenance interval estimate to a later replacement time point associated with the replacement of the equipment. A second maintenance interval estimate may be determined based on the elapsed usage of the equipment. The second maintenance interval estimate may be expressed according to the usage metric associated with the equipment.

Abstract: An air operated double diaphragm pump is provided with an air valve assembly which allows the valve cup to move in a rectangular pattern.

Abstract: The air valve on a reciprocating pneumatic pump bleeds air from the pressurized air chamber into the exhaust port through a hole in the valve cup in order to warm the exhaust port area and prevent ice build up in the area. Such construction is also suited for use in spool valves.
