0‐4 Introduction
Processing Temperature
When processing tempered materials, the prescribed processing tempera
ture must be complied with to ensure high‐quality application. The tempera
ture may not be exceeded! Overheating may cause charring or cracking of
the material, which could lead to downtime or damage to the unit.
The material should always be melted gently. Avoid long, unnecessary expo
sure to heat. When work is interrupted, the temperature should be reduced.
The temperature in the tank of the unit should be coordinated with the mate
rial consumption. When a large amount of material is consumed, the temper
ature should be set close to the prescribed processing temperature; lower
consumption means a lower temperature.
When processing cold material, consider the influence of shear heat and am
bient temperature. Cool if necessary.
Important Note for Polyurethane Materials (PUR)

When processing polyurethane materials (PUR), the following additional
instructions must be followed:
When the maximum level of harmful substance concentration is ex
ceeded, use a gas mask and air purifying equipment.
During production stoppages or breaks, reduce the temperature and
close the applicator nozzle as well as possible. Cover the remaining
opening with high-temperature grease or high-temperature tape.
Before the application system is shut down for a longer period of time,
rinse it with a suitable cleaning agent. Use only a cleaning agent recom
mended by the material manufacturer.
Close open material connections so that they are airtight.

Introduction 2‐7
Description of Components / Functioning (contd.)
Material Flow
The melter pumps the material through a heated hose to the applicator. In the
applicator the material flows through the filter cartridge(s) and the material
channels to the nozzle. Control modules open and close the material supply
to the nozzle. The nozzle applies the material to the substrate in a contact
coating process.
The application pattern is determined by grooves in the mouthpiece or by a
shim plate. The shim plate is located between the nozzle mouthpiece and the
mouthpiece receptacle. The application pattern also depends on the speed
at which the substrate moves, the quantity of material and the material
temperature.
In addition, the quality of the application is influenced by the the angle
between the nozzle and the substrate.
Nozzle
The applicator nozzle touches the substrate and wears as result of the
contact. It may need to be refaced. Refer to page 5‐7.
Control Modules
The control modules open and close the material supply to the nozzle by
raising or lowering the nozzle stem. A compression spring ensures that the
control module outlet is closed when control air pressure drops, preventing
material from being applied.
The number of control modules is a factor of the greatest application width
possible.
Heating
The applicator is heated with electrical heater cartridges. The temperature is
continuously measured by temperature sensors and is controlled with
electronic temperature controllers. Temperature controllers are not part of
the applicator.

2‐8 Introduction
Filter Cartridge
The material flows from the inside of the filter cartridge to the outside. Thus
dirt particles remain in the filter cartridge.
Nozzle Filter (Option)

The applicator can be equipped with one or more nozzle filter(s) (10 ,
Fig. 2‐3) instead of (a) filter cartridge(s). This depends on the installation
position of the applicator and on the material quantity to be filtered.

personal injury, death, or equipment damage.
Laying Cable
ATTENTION: Do not pinch cables and check regularly for damage. Replace
damaged cables immediately!
Connecting Heater
Insert the voltage plug into the corresponding receptacle on the melter or
terminal box. If the heater lines are integrated into the material hose, the
corresponding receptacle is located directly on the material hose. Secure the
voltage plug with the clamp if necessary.
Connecting Solenoid Valves

The solenoid valves on the control modules are controlled either by an
external power supply, e.g. control unit, or through the valve control lines of
1 the heated hose. Secure the plug connection with the screw (1, Fig. 3‐1).
Fig. 3‐1

3‐4 Installation
Pneumatic Connections
Nordson recommends using dry, controlled and nonlubricated compressed
air.
Operation with Nonlubricated Compressed Air

When an applicator is connected to a compressed air system in which the
compressed air has previously been lubricated, simply ceasing to lubricate
the air is not sufficient. The oil remaining in the compressed air supply will
reach the solenoid valves and the control modules and wash out the original
lubricant/oil from these parts, substantially decreasing the service life of the
units.
NOTE: It must be ensured that the compressed air supply to the applicators
has been converted to absolutely nonlubricated operation.
NOTE: No oil from a possibly defective compressor may be permitted to

penetrate the compressed air supply.
NOTE: Nordson will assume no warranty or liability for damage caused by

unpermitted, temporary lubrication.
Conditioning Compressed Air

The quality of the compressed air must be at least class 2 as stipulated by
ISO 8573-1. This means:
Max. particle size 1 mm
Max. particle density 1 mg/m3
Max. pressure dewpoint -40 °C
Max. oil concentration 0.1 mg/m3.
Connecting Compressed Air

1. Connect customer's air supply to the inlet of an air conditioning unit.
Maximum air pressure:
10 bar 1 MPa 145 psi
2. Connect the control modules to the air conditioning unit.
3. Set control air pressure:
Approx. Approx. Approx.

5 to 6 bar 0.5 to 0.6 MPa 72.5 to 87 psi

Installation 3‐5
Connecting Heated Hose

ATTENTION: Hot! Risk of burns. Wear heat‐protective gloves.
CAUTION: When the applicator has only one filter cartridge, connect the
heated hose to the side of the body where the filter cartridge is located.
If the hose connection is moved from one side to the other, the filter cartridge
must also be moved to the other side. Refer to page 3‐7.
Connecting
If cold material can be found in the hose connection (1, 2), these components
must be heated until the material softens (approx. 80 C / 176F).
1. First connect the hose (3) electrically.

NOTE: The optimum position of the applicator depends on several factors of
the customer's specific application. Thus trial and error is the only way to
determine the best position. The fundamental differences are
Application of material to closed-pore substrate
Application of material to open-pore substrate
Porous Coat®® material application
Intermittent application Continuous application

Open-pore Substrate Note Note
Closed-pore Substrate Note Figure 4‐1
Porous Coat® material Figure 4‐1 Figure 4‐1
application
NOTE: To prevent unnecessary wear to the nozzle when material is applied

to open‐pored substrate or is applied intermittently to closed‐pore substrate,
contact with the nozzle should not cause the substrate to deviate more than 1
to 2 mm from a straight path.

Operation 4‐3
Calculating Material Quantity

Sample Calculation
Nordson recommends following the sample calculation before starting up the
applicator and making a note of the application-specific values for application
weight and width, substrate speed and pump output capacity in the table
Customer-specific Values. These values can be used to calculate the pump
speed and material quantity. Nordson also recommends entering results of
the calculations in the table. This ensures that all values can be reproduced
at any time.
NOTE: The material quantity for intermittent application is calculated the
same as for continuous material application.
Application weight (grammage) m = 20 g/m2

Application width of each material track b = 10 mm = 0.01 m
Substrate speed v = 500 m/min
Material quantity M =mbv
= 20 g/m2 0.01 m 500 m/min = 100.0 g/min
Output capacity of pump D = 2.4 g/revolution
Pump speed n =MD

4‐4 Operation
Correcting Material Distribution

Adjusting needle stroke
NOTE: Only the Control module DC-D5, P/N 7106788, offers the stem stroke
adjustment feature.
CAUTION: The control module stem stroke adjustment is preset at the

factory. It may be modified only when material is distributed unevenly across
the application width.
The material flow quantity is regulated with the stem stroke adjustment (1,
Fig. 4‐2). By setting the nozzle stem stroke differently on the individual
control modules, the material distribution can be corrected.
1 2
Fig. 4‐2

Operation 4‐5
Setting Material Distribution Evenly

1. Identify the control module through which too much or too little material is
flowing.
2. Release the stem stroke adjustment locknut (2, Fig. 4‐2) on this control
module.
3. Turn the stem stroke adjustment all the way clockwise. The control
module is now closed.
CAUTION: The maximum that the stem stroke adjustment can be moved is
two revolutions. Turning farther against the stop will destroy the control
module.
4. Turn the stem stroke adjustment counterclockwise approx. one quarter of

a revolution.
5. Measure the application weight:
6. If the application weight under the control module is too little, turn the
stem stroke adjustment another one quarter of a revolution
counterclockwise.
7. Repeat steps 5. and 6. until the desired application weight is achieved. If
too much material is being applied, turn the stem stroke adjustment back
less than a quarter of a revolution.
8. Measure the application weight after every correction to the stem stroke
adjustment. Continue to correct the stem stroke adjustment in smaller
and smaller steps until the application weight setpoint is achieved with
the desired precision.
9. Tighten the stem stroke adjustment locknut (2, Fig. 4‐2) again.
