TPM-1500

DTC’s TPM-1500 Thermoplastic Premelters are built for maximum efficiency, safety, and ease of use, giving your crew the reliability they need to get the job done faster. Unlike other brands that charge extra for essential features, DTC includes them standard, providing a complete, turnkey solution—just add fuel and material, and you're ready to start working.

Heavy-duty construction, 100% made in the USA, the TPM-1500 is available in single, dual, and trailer-mounted configurations to fit your specific needs. It features a full-sweep dual-blade agitator with a center-mounted auger, powered by a low-speed, high-torque hydraulic motor. This design ensures rapid heat-up and re-melt times, keeping productivity high and downtime low.

Designed with operator safety in mind, the heavy-duty loading door is equipped with an anti- splash safety flap, reducing the risk of burns and spills when adding material. The material dispensing chute, featuring integral safety wings, provides extra protection when transferring material into the handliner.

For precise temperature control, the digital temperature management system maintains optimal material temperature, while a UL-rated over-temperature controller and solenoid valve automatically shut down the burner if temperatures exceed the setpoint, preventing overheating. Maintenance is also hassle-free with a convenient slide-out burner tray, allowing for quick access and servicing.

With the DTC TPM-1500, you get a high-performance premelter that prioritizes safety, efficiency, and durability, helping your team work smarter and more effectively on every job.
