The standard hoses used with all Valco Melton equipment are compatible with Nordson 2300/3000 Series, Problue and Durablue. All Valco Melton hoses are built using the best materials available. Each hose is wound with Nomex insulation providing the best insulation and energy efficient performance. All standard hoses use a 3/8" ID core with high flex capability.
There are several types of hoses available. The washdown hoses use a different connection on the applicator end of the hose. These hoses must be used with washdown applicators. The Swirl/Spray hoses are similar to the standard hose but house an internally wound air line that heats the air used in swirl applications. The tubing protrudes through both ends of the hose. Typically, the tubbing on the unit end is connected to an air regulator and the tubing on the applicator end is connected to either a swirl handgun or automatic applicator.

BETTER BONDS, LESS ADHESIVE & WHY THIS WORKS!
The bonding surface area of the dots provide more adhesion and coverage per square mm of adhesive placed.
MORE ECOSTITCH CASE & CARTON SEALING APPLICATIONS
Whether on carton stock or corrugated, the EcoStitch bond provides a cleaner, stronger and more flexible bond than traditional beads.
WHY ECOSTITCH ALL-ELECTRIC SYSTEMS LAST LONGER THAN PNEUMATIC
By eliminating dynamic seals and compressed air from system operation, you minimize your chance of valve failure, the cost to replace spare parts and the downtime associated with it.
ELECTRIC VS PNEUMATIC SYSTEMS
• Eliminates plant air
• Fewer parts
• Fewer dynamic seals
• Longer parts life
• Cleaner running
• More consistent pump pressure
 |  This graphic demonstrates how the dynamic (Red) seals show potential for wear and replacement. Valco Electric systems almost eliminate these points of failure, saving you money and keeping your production running! |
ALL-ELECTRIC ADHESIVE DISPENSING VALVE FEATURING ECOSTITCH TECHNOLOGY
Valco Melton's MX electric hot melt valve is the workhorse for most Valco Melton hot melt dispensing solutions. The MX electric valve can operate at extremely high speeds reaching 15,000 cycles per minute for short bursts and have a lifetime capable or more than 2 billion cycles depending on operating conditions. The MX electric valve is used for many different applications including Packaging, Folding Carton, Sift Proof Packaging and Slot Coat applications. The MX is widely known as the EcoStitch capable valve in Food and Beverage packaging where end users see their adhesive usage reduced by up to 75% for instant ROI and process improvement.
