Freedom ® Hot Melt Adhesive
Dispensing System
The Freedom Hot Melt Packaging System integrates the
tankless Freedom Series melter with an automatic fill unit,
RediFlex hoses, MinBlue II SureBead applicators and an Optix
touch-screen control panel.
The Freedom hot melt adhesive system is an adhesive melting,
transfer, and dispensing system that offers users:
• Freedom from mounting limitations
• Freedom from manual adhesive filling
• Freedom from confusing controls and diagnostics
• Freedom from excessive adhesive use
• Freedom from downtime due to char and contamination
The important characteristics of the Freedom system are briefly
described here. For more detailed information, refer to the
melter manual.
Freedom Hot Melt Adhesive Dispensing System
Touch Screen Controls
The system is controlled through a user-friendly color touch
screen control system, called Optix, that all users can
effectively operate. The Optix control system includes:
• a color-coded (green, red, or yellow) status indication that indicates
system health
• easy setup of inputs/outputs
• text-based indications for system problems
• a system inventory and component identification function that shows
what components are connected and provides their part numbers for
easy reordering
Integrated Fill System
The Freedom system includes an integrated fill system. The
melter reservoir stores only 1.1 kg (2.5 lb) of molten adhesive.
Solid adhesive stored in an adhesive container is automatically
transferred to the melter as needed.
Easy to Service
The melter’s internal components can be accessed entirely from
the front, without removing the melter from its mount.

Smart Melt Technology
When the Smart Melt technology is
enabled, the melter’s internal zones
automatically switch off when the
integrated fill system has not activated
for a user-specified amount of time. The
system continues to maintain ready status
until a fill signal is generated.
EcoBead Technology
Systems that include the EcoBead
technology can provide adhesives savings
of up to 60% while still maintaining
full adhesive bond integrity. The
EcoBead technology is enabled by using
the touchscreen to choose the desired
adhesive savings and to select a preprogrammed
adhesive pattern.
