(ZCS)
� ClassicBlue zero cavity module withmicro‐adjuster
� Air‐open, spring‐close (AOSC)operation
� Available in six orifice sizes
Use ClassicBlue zero cavity applicators incritical applications that require consistentno‐clog/no‐drip operation, precise beadplacement, and extrusion control. Theclose‐tolerance, matchednozzle‐and‐needle assembly eliminates theformation of minute adhesive pockets thatcan lead to nozzle clogging, drool, andadhesive stringing. The movement of theneedle within the nozzle creates aself‐cleaning action, minimizing blockagesand reducing maintenance. Applications forthese applicators include high‐speedcartoning, case sealing, cap lining,nonwovens side seaming and elasticattachment, bonding, and gasketing.
Zero cavity applicators feature a patentedmicro‐adjust module. A micrometeradjustment screw at the top of the modulecan reduce adhesive flow by up to 30percent. Additionally, minor variations inbead position can be achieved via a loadadjustment mechanism. These adjustmentsare especially beneficial in high‐speed,multi‐module applicator applications.

modules to remain open. Refer to applicator Module Adjustments to properly
adjust the operating air pressure for these modules if the applicators must beoperated at a low air pressure.
WARNING! SolidBlue A and SureBead A applicator modules operate as air‐open,air‐close valves. The loss or elimination of air pressure to the applicator solenoid
valve without a corresponding reduction in system hydraulic pressure may cause
the applicator modules to remain open.
Applicator Module Adjustment
Modules are set at the factory for operation prior to shipping. Modules should only be adjusted if absolutely necessary for application performance. Stroke adjustments can be madeon zero cavity ClassicBlue applicators, and spring tension adjustments can be made onSolidBlue S and SureBead S applicators. Most applications require no adjustments.
NOTE: Adjusting the spring tension on SolidBlue S and SureBead S applicators doesnot adjust stroke length.
Adjust a ClassicBlue Zero Cavity Module
ClassicBlue zero cavity applicators are equipped with a micro‐adjuster that allows the nozzleflow rate to be decreased up to 30 percent from the maximum flow rate set at the factory.
WARNING! System pressurized! Relieve system pressure before attempting to
adjust the applicator. If the micro‐adjuster is unscrewed too far, hot melt can be
released under pressure. Failure to relieve system pressure can result in personalinjury.

3. Hold the loading screw in place and turn the flow‐rate adjusting nut as follows:
� To decrease the flow rate, turn clockwise.
� To increase the flow rate, turn the counterclockwise.
NOTE: Each quarter‐turn of the adjusting nut (clockwise) reduces the stroke of the
module by 0.0254 mm (0.001 in.).
4. Tighten the locking nut.
5. Check the flow rate. Repeat until the desired flow rate is achieved.
Adjust an Air‐Open‐Air‐Closed Module
SolidBlue A and SureBead A applicators normally operate at air pressure ranges between3.4-5.5 bar (50-80 psi) and at hydraulic pressure ranges between 30-90 bar (450-1,300 psi).However, if an application requires operating at a hydraulic pressure below 30 bar (450 psi),adjust the applicator air pressure or the applicator module. Use these procedures as neededto adjust SolidBlue A and SureBead A applicators for low‐pressure operation.

Blue Series Pneumatic Applicators32
Part 1054960_07 � 2012 Nordson Corporation
Operating Under 30 bar (450 psi) Hydraulic Pressure
Increase the applicator air pressure to operate at a hydraulic pressure as low as 14 bar (200psi). Refer to Table 5. If 3.4 bar (50 psi) cannot be achieved, go to Compensating for Lowapplicator Air Pressure.
Table 5 Increasing applicator Air Pressure to Operate at Low Hydraulic Pressure
To operate at this hydraulic�pressure... The minimum applicator air pressurerequired is...
30-90 bar (450-1,300 psi)* 3.4 bar (50 psi)*
20-90 bar (300-1,300 psi) 4.1 bar (60 psi)
14-90 bar (200-1,300 psi) 4.8 bar (70 psi)
*This is the factory setting.
Compensating for Low applicator Air Pressure (AOSC Applicators)
If an application requires applicator operation at an air pressure below 3.4�bar (50 psi) and ata hydraulic pressure below 30 bar (450 psi), reduce the applicator module spring tension.
NOTE: The needle stroke on SolidBlue and SureBeadmodules cannot be adjusted. Only the module springtension can be adjusted.
WARNING! Risk of burns. Reducing the
applicator module spring tension also reducesthe maximum hydraulic pressure at which the
module will self‐relieve or free‐flow. If the
maximum hydraulic pressure is exceeded, theapplicator module will remain open and
dispense adhesive uncontrollably.
See Figure 13. To reduce the applicator module springtension, loosen the locking nut and turn the adjustmentscrew counterclockwise in 1/2‐turn increments. Each 1/2turn reduces the hydraulic pressure capability by7�bar�(100 psi). Refer to Table 6.

Saturn Nozzles
Saturn Nozzles for SureBead Applicators
SureBead nozzles are similar in design to standard Saturn nozzles, with a gray upper ring to indicate a pressed‐in seat with minimalengagement and a color‐coded lower ring to indicate orifice size. The self‐cleaning action of the integrated nozzle and needle assemblyproduces clean patterns and sharp cutoff. Because of improved design efficiency of the SureBead applicators, adhesive bead volume mayvary slightly from equivalent ClassicBlue RC and ZC modules. Adjust the adhesive pressure to compensate.
