<p>A continuous method of producing hot melt adhesive comprising the steps of: a) forming a plastics material film tube (14) with the inside coated with a non-tack substance; b) pumping or pouring molten hot melt adhesive in liquid form into the tube (14); c) cooling the tube (14) with a cooling fluid; sealing the hot melt adhesive filled tube; d) voiding the tube (14) to produce a series of cartridges (28) of adhesive with the film (10) being substantially free of adhesive between each cartridge (28) thus produced; e) allowing the hot melt adhesive to solidify; f) cutting the film (10) coating on the adhesive tube (14); and g) stripping the film (10) from the hot melt adhesive.</p> |
