Tank

The tank melts the adhesive and holds it until it is pumped to the dispensingapplicators. With its aluminum construction, cast‐in heaters, and integralmelting fins, the tank is designed for efficient heat transfer. A strainer in thetank prevents unmelted adhesive from blocking the pump inlet when you fillthe tank. It also prevents pieces of cardboard and other small objects fromentering the pump.

The standard tank comes with a non‐stick coating for easy cleaning.

Refer to General Specifications in Section 8, Technical Data, for the tankstorage capacity and other key information about the tank.

Ready Output Function

The Ready Output function in the C9 and C15 melters is a drycontactclosure that occurs when the tank is heated to its setpoint temperature. Thetank temperature is set through the tank temperature control dial on thecontrol panel within the range of 200°F 400°F. Once the tank reaches theset temperature, the tank thermostat control opens, removing voltage fromthe tank heating element, and energizing the relay coil that provides theReady Output indication to the end user. The end user will determine ifadditional time is needed to fully melt the adhesive in the tank or for otherprocesses in the production line. The Ready Output contact closure is thenmaintained closed until the melter power is turned off at the main switch, orthe tank temperature falls below 180°F.

Description2-6


Ready Output Function (contd)

The Ready Output contact closure is accessed at TB3, positions 1 and 2 onthe center frame of the melter. Refer to Connect a Triggering Device inInstallation.

To prevent false Ready Output contact closures, a thermostat is mounted tothe side of the tank and wired into the Ready circuit to ensure that the tank iswithin the proper temperature range.

Pump

The pump transfers melted adhesive from the tank to the dispensingapplicators. The C9 and C15 melters use a 10:1 single‐acting piston pump. Asingle‐acting piston pump delivers adhesive on the down stroke and draws infresh adhesive on the upstroke.

Refer to General Specifications in Section 8, Technical Data, for the pumpdelivery rate and other key information about the pump.

Pressure Relief Valve

The pressure relief valve prevents system hydraulic pressure from exceeding103.4 bar (10340 kPa, 1499.69 psi). At this pressure, the valve opens andreturns adhesive to the tank.

Hose Ports

The manifold block has a 45‐degree face for either horizontal or vertical hoserouting. A maximum of six hoses can be connected to the manifold in a C15melter.

Description2-8


Drain Valve

The drain valve allows you to drain the tank and manifold or to flush char anddebris from the filter screen. Operators can perform the filter flushingprocedure without removing the filter from the manifold.

Manifold Filter

The manifold filter traps any char or foreign material, keeping it from beingpumped to the hoses and applicators. The melter is shipped with a 0.15‐mm(0.006‐in.) filter screen. Other screen sizes are available.

Air Pressure Regulator

The air pressure regulator allows you to adjust the system air pressure, whichcontrols the hydraulic pressure.

Table 5‐2 Advantages and Disadvantages of System Flushing Procedures

Flushing ProcedureTime Needed(See Note A)

Best Used for...(See Note B)

Advantages andDisadvantages

Using hot melt material About 1 hour Routine cleaning whenthe system is relativelyfree of char

The advantage of thismethod is that it requiresless downtime.However, it is not asthorough as the othertwo methods.

Using a flushing materialrecommended by youradhesive supplier andapproved by yourNordson representative

From 21/2 to 5 hours Occasional cleaningwhen there is some charbuildup

Although this methodrequires more downtime,it�does a good job ofremoving char buildupfrom the system.However, to remove allchar you may need toscrub the tank. You willalso need to purchaseand store flushingmaterial, which mayhave special storageand disposalrequirements.

Using Type R fluid From 3 to 13 hours Thorough cleaning whenthere is significant charbuildup

This procedure is themost thorough way toremove char. You mayalso need to scrub thetank to remove all char.Disadvantages are thatyou cannot flush Type Rfluid through the hoses;accidentally doing socan cause laterdowntime. Type R fluidis expensive but can bereused several times ifthe used fluid is strainedinto a storage container.The fluid is considered aregulated waste.

NOTE A: Time needed varies depending on how much char must be removed.

B: Because operating conditions vary from plant to plant, you may find that more or less frequent flushing isrequired.
