Hose support bracket collar

Apparatus for dispensing thermoplastic material and configured for easy cleaning and maintenance procedures to address residual thermoplastic material in the apparatus. The apparatus includes a distribution body having an interior space for receiving a removable insert. The removable insert includes a flow passage for providing the thermoplastic material, for example, to a dispensing element. Alternatively, or in addition, the distribution body may be formed of separable portions to allow easy access to the passage and/or insert.

Quick cleaning hot melt adhesive dispensing apparatus

A controller for a hot melt adhesive dispensing system has a main circuit board and power modules which are removably received on a controller enclosure. The power modules are directly couplable with the main board and with cord sets from heated hoses of the dispensing system, eliminating the need for wiring harnesses to be routed between these components. Accordingly, the main board and power modules may be readily removed and replaced in the field to permit efficient servicing and modification of the system to accommodate the needs of various applications.
