Hot melt hoses should be replaced every couple years.  The frequency of replacement depends on amount of time used, temperatures of operation, and adhesive used.

Our experience shows that customers will service their hot melt system and guns regularly and continue to use the same hoses for many years after they should have been replaced.  To protect your investment and insure optimal production standards, Glue Machinery Corporation recommends replacing your old hoses after three years of continuous operation.

Charred hot melt often builds up in hoses and this debris will dislodge and clog filters and nozzles in your adhesive system.

The inside of the hose is Teflon lined but degraded material tends to build up at the ends where fittings are swaged onto the hose.

Recirculating purge through the hose and back to the tank can help extend the life of the hose but can also lead to debris dislodging from the inside of the hose while the system is on line- causing further damage to the previous mentioned filters, nozzles, and guns.
