Tanks & melters
- Potential repair scope
- Cleaning, sealing work and assessment of heating and delivery assemblies.
- What we review
- Adhesive contamination, leaks, heating symptoms and the condition of the tank and connections.
SERVICE / ASSESS · REPAIR · VERIFY
Hot melt repairs & rebuilds.
A leaking module, an applicator that no longer dispenses consistently, or a melter with a heating fault. Tell us what changed. We assess the assembly and agree a repair scope before work begins.
WHAT WE REPAIR
The component sets the scope.
Repair is not one standard procedure. The work depends on the fault, component condition and available technical information. These are the areas we assess with you.
Applicators & manifolds
- Potential repair scope
- Cleaning adhesive passages, replacing serviceable seals and rebuilding the agreed assembly.
- What we review
- Application irregularities, body condition, pneumatic operation and connection points.
Dispensing modules
- Potential repair scope
- Cleaning, seal replacement and work on worn components where repair is feasible.
- What we review
- Leakage, moving-part condition, actuation and dispensing behaviour.
Heated hoses
- Potential repair scope
- Condition assessment and review of repair or replacement options.
- What we review
- Connections, external damage and the reported heating or flow fault. Not every hose can be repaired.
Pumps
- Potential repair scope
- Adhesive pump rebuilds, seal replacement and manufacture of new gears for gear pumps. We agree the scope after assessing the assembly.
- What we review
- Gear and housing wear, seal condition and operating requirements: pressure, flow rate and temperature.
Nozzles
- Potential repair scope
- Assessment of contamination and wear; cleaning or replacement where suitable.
- What we review
- Outlet geometry, thread, adhesive and the required application pattern.
Heaters
- Potential repair scope
- Assessment and selection of replacement heaters or temperature sensors where required.
- What we review
- Electrical specification, dimensions, connections and the wider assembly.
Safety valves
- Potential repair scope
- Safety valve repair and set-pressure adjustment in accordance with the applicable requirements of the ISO 4126 series.
- What we review
- Valve type and reference, required set pressure, medium, temperature and manufacturer documentation.
Filters and seals can be included in the parts requirement. Cleaning, replacement or reuse is decided from condition and application; not every item is a rebuild candidate.
REPAIR PROCESS
Clear decisions before work starts.
- 01
Describe the fault
Share the equipment reference, symptoms and available photographs. We clarify the information needed for assessment.
- 02
Agree the assessment
Where inspection is needed, agree shipment and assessment arrangements first. We review condition and repair feasibility.
- 03
Approve the work
Confirm proposed work, components, test scope and timing. Any change to the agreed scope needs review.
- 04
Check & return
Carry out the agreed checks, communicate the outcome and arrange return of the assembly.
AFTER THE REBUILD
The test must match the application.
A visual inspection alone cannot answer every question. We agree which checks are relevant and achievable for the assembly, and what information or equipment is needed to perform them.
Bench checks are limited to the agreed conditions. They do not replace installation, commissioning or process validation on your production line.
Leak checks
Sealing and connections under the agreed test conditions.
Functional checks
Movement, actuation or delivery behaviour relevant to the repair.
Heating response
Heating and temperature response where included in the scope.
Visual & dimensional checks
Condition, assembly and relevant dimensions against the available reference.
Give the assessment a head start.
You do not need a complete technical file to make the first enquiry. Send what you have and clearly mark what is unknown.
Please agree the receiving address and preparation requirements with STT before shipping equipment. The published business addresses are not automatic repair-delivery instructions.
- Equipment
- Type, reference number and photographs of the component and connections.
- Symptoms
- What fails, when it started and whether the fault is continuous or intermittent.
- Process
- Adhesive or medium, operating temperature, pressure and relevant control settings.
- Recent changes
- Maintenance, replaced parts, material changes and any fault codes.
- Priority
- Requested date, production impact and shipping location.
FAQ
Repair enquiries, answered
Can you quote from a photograph?
Photographs help us make an initial assessment. Internal wear and damage may only become visible during inspection. We explain what must be checked before a repair scope and price can be confirmed.
When is replacement more appropriate than repair?
The decision depends on damage, parts availability, technical feasibility and the required operating conditions. Where repair is unsuitable, we can review supply or manufacturing options without assuming they are interchangeable.
What tests will my component receive?
We agree the checks for the particular assembly before the work. Depending on scope, these may include leak, functional, heating, visual or dimensional checks. Ask for the required conditions and outcome format in your enquiry.
How long will the repair take?
Timing is confirmed after the scope and required components are known. Share your requested date and production impact at the start. We do not promise a fixed turnaround before assessment.
Can I ship the equipment straight away?
Contact us first. We need to agree the receiving location, identify the shipment and clarify any preparation or handling requirements. Do not assume a listed office address accepts repair deliveries.
Do you work beyond hot melt?
Yes. You can also enquire about industrial seals, metal filters, custom components and engineering support. Share the application so we can confirm what is within scope.
