Abstract: A melter of a fluid delivery device includes a loading chamber, a hopper disposed beneath the loading chamber and connected to the loading chamber, and a positioning device disposed in the hopper extending to a first height from a bottom of the hopper. The positioning device is configured to penetrate an adhesive slug received in the hopper from the loading chamber. The positioning device may be formed as a rod having a proximal end and a distal end extending to the first height.

Abstract: A device (10) for applying a fluid to a moving substrate (36) includes a nozzle head (15a, 15b, 15c, 15d) with an inlet opening (26, 26c) and an outlet opening (29a, 29b, 29c, 29d). The device further includes a supply station (11) with a fastening surface (17) with a mouth region (20a) of a fluid duct. The nozzle head is arranged so as to be pivotable relative to the fastening surface about a pivot axis (38a). The inlet opening (26, 26c) and the mouth region (20a) of the fluid duct are arranged in alignment along the pivot axis (38a).

Abstract: A fluid delivery device is provided. The fluid delivery device includes a melter having a loading chamber and a hopper disposed in communication with the loading chamber, the loading chamber having one or more heating elements. The hopper includes a second heating element. The melter also includes a container handling system for lifting a container a predetermined height and moving the container from a position remote of the melter to a position within the loading chamber. The container includes contents stored within. The heating elements heat the contents so that the contents may be received in the hopper. The hopper may continue to heat the contents to provide a fluid. The fluid may be discharged from the hopper by way of a pump assembly. A pressure of fluid may be regulated at the pump assembly.
