RTD-controlled heated hoses maintain water-based adhesives at a constant warm temperature. The system includes a temperature control box that can control up to 4 hoses. Heating the adhesive pail or drum is not necessary. Heated hoses keep adhesive viscosities consistent for proper adhesive patterns and glue application.
