Utilizing Key Features of the ProBilt™ Hot Glue System
There are a few brands to consider when shopping for a hot melt system for your packaging line. Universal Systems SE’s ProBilt™ product line has been around for over 40 years and has several key features that can help influence purchasing agents, as well as line operators, on why it is the best in the industry.
4 Hose / 4 Gun Standard Capability
Unlike any other hot melt tank option on the market, the ProBilt™ line of melters all come equipped with 4 hose and 4 gun capability. This is a standard option that is usually an add on from other manufacturers, like Nordson®. Nordson® has both the 2 hose/ 2 gun and 4 hose/ 4 gun melters, each differing in price. The ProBilt™ melters all come with 4 hose/ 4 gun capability at a lower price point than any Nordson®. This allows our customers versatility and the option to grow.
Easy to Program Control Board
One of the many benefits to owning a ProBilt™ system is the easy to operate, AccuScan™ Control Board. If you are plugging in a brand new tank, the board will be programmed to our factory settings. The line operator, can scan through the hose, gun and tank settings and set them to the temperatures needed. There are also a few fail safes installed in the machine. For example, if it is a cold start set up, the hoses and tank will heat first, then the guns will start to heat once the hose and tank are within 35 degrees of the set point. The reason for this is so that the gun doesn’t char, since the gun heats up faster than the hose and tank. Once temperature is reached, the “Heat On” light will blink and you are ready to use. The control board also comes equipped with alarm settings and a set back functionality, our next two key features.
Set Back Functionality
The set back functionality is one of the most important features that comes standard on all ProBilt™ tanks. Essentially, when the shift is over and you no longer need to run your packaging line, you push the set back button. This will “set back” the temperature of the tank, hoses and guns to 165 degrees. Allowing the glue already in the system to sit overnight without charring. When the morning comes, or the next shift starts, simply hit the set back button again, and all previous temperature settings will re-engage. This will decrease the start up time on the hot melt system significantly and allow your lines to be fully operational within minutes.
Alarm Options
Another key feature to the AccuScan™ Control Board are the alarm options it provides. The first alarm option allows for the panel to tie to an alarm light in your facility. In case anything happens that stops the system from running effectively, an alarm light can go off, alerting the line operator immediately. Another feature is the ability to tie it to the packaging line itself, called PMI or Parent Machine Interface. Parent Machine Interface will signal the packaging line when the glue is at full temperature thus preventing the line to start up until it receives the signal.

Simplify with the AccuScan™ Control Panel
Universal Systems SE manufactures a premiere line of hot melt adhesive systems. Our ProBilt™ line of tanks all come with our patented AccuScan™ Control Panel. The AccuScan™ Control Panel is exclusive to ProBilt™ machines and is easy for any line operator to use.
One of the most common feedback points we hear from customers is that they like simplified operational equipment. Usually line operators are understaffed and overworked. Simplifying how they use our equipment is a big selling point and the AccScan™ Control Panel is a great example of that.
Universal Systems SE developed our AccuScan™ Control Panel to simplify the operation of our adhesive melter systems. The main control screen lists the operational settings for up to 4 hoses and guns and the main tank. You can filter through these sections by pressing the Zone button. Once you choose the zone you wish to set the temperature for, press and hold the Set button. Then, using the up arrow, the digital screen will show the temperature setting increase until you reach your desired temperature setting. Once the tank or hose zones are set to desired temperatures, release the Set button. We also offer a Set Back button on the main screen. The Set Back feature puts the machine in an idle state, heating only to 165 degrees.
