Patent ID: 7082262

Claim:
An integrated manifold for a dispensing system adapted to dispense liquid material and process air from at least one dispensing module coupled thereto, the manifold comprising: an integrally formed manifold body configured to receive the dispensing modules thereon, said manifold body having an internal air heater passage; a liquid supply passage in said manifold body; a process air supply passage in said manifold body; a plurality of liquid passages in said manifold body in communication with said liquid supply passage for providing the liquid material to the modules; a plurality of process air passages in said manifold body in communication with said process air supply passage for providing process air to the modules; a first heating member positioned within said internal air heater passage a gap formed between said first heating member and said manifold body, said gap forming a portion of said process air supply passage; and a second heating member operatively coupled to said manifold body proximate said liquid passages and operative to supply heat to the liquid material in said liquid passages and the process air in said gap and said process air passages.
