FillMaster� Adhesive Feed System 17

Part 1030629C� 2004 Nordson Corporation Manual 62-FILLMSTR-MA-02

The front panel LEDs indicate the following conditions:

� OK (system ready) LED: the melter is at the correct operatingtemperature, air pressure is set, and there is no alarm condition.When the melter sends a low level signal, the FillMaster transfersadhesive from the reservoir to the melter tank through the transferhose.

� Shot duration LED: adhesive delivery cycle.

The length of time that the venturi pump cycles is called shotduration. Shot duration is dependent on adhesive characteristics(size and shape) and transfer height and length. Shot duration mustbe long enough to move the adhesive over the highest point of thetransferring hose route. The recommended highest point of thetransferring hose is 2.5 m (8.20 ft).

� Alarm or fault condition.

� Power status on or off.

Electrical Cabinet

The electrical cabinet contains:

� A timer that controls shot duration, interval, and alarm. The timer ispreset at the factory but can be adjusted for different applicationsituations.

� A power supply that converts input power to DC voltage.

Pneumatic Controls

The pneumatic controls include:

� A Venturi pump that cycles air bursts (preset time duration) to transportadhesive from the reservoir through the transfer hose to the melter tank.

� An accumulator that supplies specific volume of compressed airrequired for each cycle of the venturi pump.

When a low level is detected from the level sensor in the melter, asolenoid valve opens, sending compressed air from the accumulator tothe venturi nozzle. Adhesive discharges from the adhesive reservoir intothe air passages, propelled by air bursts from the venturi pump. Thedesign of the venturi pump also deflects compressed air upward into theair passages from the reservoir, loosening adhesive particles andpreventing bridging or clogging.

� An air throttle that provides volume adjustment of air to cool the cone.

� A pressure regulator that is located at the back of the FillMaster. Thereis a pressure switch inside the pressure regulator that can be set toadjust and verify air pressure supply.

FillMaster� Adhesive Feed System18

Part 1030629C � 2004 Nordson CorporationManual 62-FILLMSTR-MA-02

Transfer Hose The transfer hose transports adhesive from the adhesive reservoir of theFillMaster to the melter tank. The transfer hose grounding strap must beconnected at both ends to avoid static charges.

Cone The cone attaches the transfer hose to a modified melter tank lid(purchased separately) precut to the dimensions of the cone. The new tanklid must be retrofitted to the melter before the cone is attached. The conecontains a screen that prevents fine particles and powder in the adhesive topermeate the ambient air. Air supplied to the cone prevents adhesivebridging by cooling the point at which the transfer hose connects to thecone.

NOTE: Bridging occurs when adhesive (usually pellets) heats up rapidly,and the layer directly above the heated adhesive heats partially to form abridge in the melter tank grid. This prevents the rest of the adhesive frommelting and being transferred from the adhesive reservoir to the melter tank.To prevent this, change to a lower-viscosity adhesive or to an adhesive formthat is less likely to bridge, or raise the tank operating temperature setpointto reduce viscosity.

Level Sensor and Sensor Control The level sensor (purchased separately) detects the level of adhesive in thethe melter tank. When adhesive falls below setpoint, the level sensortransmits a signal to the FillMaster, which transfers adhesive from thereservoir to the melter. FillMaster will not transport adhesive until it gets aready signal from the melter.
