Function

Material Flow
The material is fed from a melter through a heated hose, then into the
applicator. From there it flows through the material channels to the control
modules.

Control Module
Suction stem control modules precisely open and close the material supply
to the application nozzle by pneumatically raising or lowering the nozzle
stems. The material is suctioned back into the control module by the upward
movement. This ensures that the material is cut off properly.

Shim Plates
A specific application pattern is achieved by inserting shim plates of certain
sizes and designs between the mouthpiece and the mouthpiece receptacle.
The material channels in the mouthpiece must correspond to the application
pattern.
The applicator includes a shim plate that is ready to use and a shim plate
blank. Refer to page 15, Removing Shim Plate Blank.

Heating
The applicator is heated with electrical heater cartridges. The temperature is
continuously measured by temperature sensors and is controlled with
electronic temperature controllers.
The temperature controllers are not part of the applicator.

Filter Cartridge
The material flows from the inside of the filter cartridge to the outside. Thus
dirt particles remain in the filter cartridge.

Bores for Holding Down Device

Refer to page 16, Attaching Holding Down Devices.

Installation
WARNING: Allow only qualified personnel to perform the following tasks.
Observe and follow the safety instructions in this document and all other
related documentation.

Unpacking
Unpack carefully. Then check for any damage caused during shipping.

Transport and Storage

NOTE: The applicator is a high precision, valuable part. Handle very
carefully!
CAUTION: Do not store outside! Protect from humidity and dust. Protect
the nozzle from damage. Do not lay unit on the nozzle.

Removing Shim Plate Blank

The applicator includes a shim plate blank. It is in the nozzle during
transport and must be removed before initial startup of the applicator.
1. Disassemble the nozzle. Refer to page 28, Application Nozzle
Maintenance.
NOTE: Before initial startup, the applicator need not be heated to
disassemble the nozzle.
2. Remove the blank and save it for later use.

Mounting
S Protect from humidity, vibrations, dust and drafts
S Ensure access to parts relevant for maintenance and operation
S Install/attach the applicator in/to the parent machine. The essential
distance and angle must remain variable to ensure optimal material
application. Refer to page 22, Positioning Applicator.
S When installing the unit, ensure that cables, air hoses, and heated
hoses can not be bent, pinched, torn off or otherwise damaged.

E 2010 Nordson Corporation AltaSlot-i P/N 7119466C

16 Applicator

Exhausting Material Vapors

Ensure that material vapors do not exceed the prescribed limits. Exhaust
material fumes when necessary. Provide sufficient ventilation of the location
where the unit is installed.

Attaching Holding Down Devices

If the substrate is wider than the nozzle, the edges may curve up around the
nozzle and cause damage. If this is the case, the customer should install
devices to hold down the substrate. There are two M6 bores on the sides of
the body for this purpose.
An example of suitable devices to hold down the substrate would be two
plates at the same level as the nozzle, extending the width of the nozzle
beyond the edge of the substrate.

Electrical Connection
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. Failure to observe may result in
personal injury, death, or equipment damage.

Laying Cable
WARNING: Ensure that cables do not touch rotating and/or hot unit
components. Do not pinch cables and check regularly for damage. Replace
damaged cables immediately!

Connecting Applicator
WARNING: Observe operating voltage! Refer to ID plate.

Heating
1. Connect the power cable to the heated hose receptacle.
2. Use safety clips (when available) to secure the plug connection.

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 line of
the heated hose.
CAUTION: Trigger the solenoid valves only when the applicator is heated
to operating temperature! If the material is too cold, control module seals
may be damaged.

Pneumatic Connection

Connecting Control Air

The applicator may only be connected to pressure controlled and
conditioned compressed air.
The following requirements apply to the quality of the compressed air:
S Max. particle size 1 mm
S Max. particle density 1 mg/m3
S Max. pressure dewpoint −40 °C
S Max. oil concentration 0.1 mg/m3.
NOTE: Ensure that the applicator is supplied with control air at all times.
The control air keeps the control modules closed when EMERGENCY OFF
occurs or when the system comes to a standstill. This prevents material
from dripping out of the nozzle.

1. Connect a controllable air supply to the control air fitting (1, Fig. 4).
2. Set control air pressure to approx. 4 to 6 bar (0.4 to 0.6 MPa /
58 to 87 psi). The exact pressure must be determined for each
application.

Fig. 4

Operating with Lubricated Control Air

The control modules can also be operated with lubricated compressed air.
NOTE: Once the air has been lubricated, it must always be lubricated; the
lubricated compressed air will wash out the original lubricant on the solenoid
valves and the control modules. Nordson recommends:

P/N 7119466C AltaSlot-i E 2010 Nordson Corporation

 Applicator 21

Setting Temperatures
Refer to temperature controller manual.

Maximum Operating Temperature

200 °C / 392 °F.
NOTE: The maximum operating temperature may not be exceeded.
The basis for temperature selections are the values stipulated by the
material manufacturer (usually 150 to 180 °C / 302 to 356 °F).
Nordson will assume no warranty or liability for damage resulting from
incorrect temperature settings.

Setting Control Air Pressure

The control air pressure for the control modules is set for each application
on an external air pressure control valve. The air pressure control valve is
not part of the applicator.
NOTE: Ensure that the applicator is supplied with control air at all times.
The control air keeps the control modules closed when EMERGENCY OFF
occurs or when the system comes to a standstill. This prevents material
from dripping out of the nozzle.

Maximum Control Air Pressure

22 Applicator

Positioning the Applicator

The optimum angle of incidence of the applicator is a factor of various
customer-specific parameters and can not be determined precisely
beforehand. The application pattern also depends on the speed at which the
substrate moves, the quantity of material fed and the adhesive temperature.
Good application and material cutoff is achieved when the applicator is
positioned almost completely vertical to the substrate. The angle can be
adjusted within a range of approx. 80° to 100°
If the angle of incidence of the applicator to the substrate is too great, a
bead of material forms as soon as the adhesive is cut off. This soon leads to
irregular material application and a scaly application pattern.
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 differentiations are:
S Application of material to open-pore substrate (nonwoven)
S Application of material to closed-pore substrate.

Application of Material to Open-pore Substrate

The applicator nozzle should be positioned between two rolls, as shown in
Fig. 5. The coating is applied to the tensed substrate.
The substrate should not be diverted from a straight path by more than
approx. 1 mm when the applicator touches it.

Application of Material to Closed-pore Substrate

The applicator nozzle should be positioned close to the coating roll, as
shown in Fig. 6. However, coating is not performed against the roll but
against the tensed substrate.
The substrate should not be diverted from a straight path by more than
approx. 1 mm when the applicator touches it.

Material Application
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.
These values can be used to calculate the pump speed and material
quantity. The results of the calculations are also entered 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.
