2. Description

2.1 Theory of Operation

The Loctite® High Pressure Cartridge Dispenser is an integrated system for dispensing
high viscosity materials packaged in 300ml cartridges.

The cartridge dispenser consists of three main components: the pneumatic priming ram,
adhesive reservoir block and the 10:1 pump. The pneumatic ram is used to provide a
low pressure feed of adhesive to the reservoir block. The 10:1 pump draws product
from the reservoir block and amplifies the pressure by a factor of 10 and feeds the
product through a feedline to the valve.

The unit has two regulators to control the pressure of the pneumatic priming ram and
the 10:1 pump. By increasing the pressure of either of these regulators the outlet
pressure of the dispenser will be increased. The primary product regulation should be
controlled using the pump regulator and the pneumatic ram regulator should be set to
supply product at just enough pressure to feed the reservoir.

The 110 – 240VAC power cable plugs to the electrical junction box and supplies power
to the 10:1 pump via the low level relay.

The low level sensor is mounted to the pneumatic priming ram to indicate when the
adhesive cartridge is empty. When activated, the low level sensor will provide a signal
to the COM port on the electrical box and turn the 10:1 pump off.

4. Installation

4.1 Connecting the unit air and power supply

1. Ensure that the pneumatic priming ram switch is in the “up” position.
2. Connect 5-7bar (70-100 psi) dry, filtered air supply to air inlet fitting. Make sure
the air inlet pressure is at least 5bar (70 psi).
3. Adjust both pump and pneumatic ram regulators to 0 bar.
4. Connect the power supply cable to the electrical junction box and turn the power
switch to the “on” (illuminated) position.

4.2 Connecting a dispense controller

1. Connect the controller 97101 per the controller installation procedure.
2. Connect the controller “reservoir” air outlet to the pneumatic fitting on cartridge
dispenser electrical junction box using the supplied air line.
3. Connect the low level sensor cable to connect between the electric junction box
COM port and the 97101 low level sensor input.

6
4. Installation (continued)

4.3 Setting the low level sensor

1. Insert an empty cartridge into the cartridge holder and screw firmly into the
cartridge insert to enable a positive seal.
2. Assemble the pneumatic ram onto the cartridge holder.
3. Increase the pneumatic ram regulator to 0.5bar (7psi) and move the pneumatic ram
switch to the “down” position.
4. The pneumatic ram should move down the cartridge and activate the low level
sensor. If the low level sensor does not activate, it means that the plunger of the
pneumatic ram needs to be adjusted.
5. Once the low level sensor is activated, unscrew the low level sensor from the side
of the pneumatic ram and move it down until it deactivates. From this position,
move it back in 1-2mm increments until the sensor actives.
6. Tighten the low level sensor screw to maintain this position.

4.4 Installation of cartridge insert

1. Select the cartridge insert that matches the threaded connection of the 300ml
adhesive cartridge being used.
2. Remove the pneumatic ram and then unscrew the cartridge holder from the
reservoir block assembly. This can be accomplished by turning the cartridge holder
in an counter-clockwise direction.
3. Install the cartridge insert into the reservoir block ensuring that the o-ring on the
cartridge insert is facing down (towards the reservoir block). Tighten with the
suitable tool.
4. Replace the cartridge holder.

The pneumatic ram can cause injury when removed from the cartridge holder.
While disassembled, ensure that the air supply is disconnected or the pneumatic
ram regulator is set to a low pressure to ensure slow movement of the ram.

4.5 Connecting the feedline and valve

1. Connect the supplied stainless steel braided feedline to the pump unit outlet valve
located at the front of the pump.
2. Connect the valve to the other end of the feed line.
3. The recommended adhesive dispensing valve for the High Pressure Cartridge
Dispenser is a Loctite® 50bar/5mm Dispense Valve (IDH#1049138), which is high-
pressure, suck-back type dispense valve.
4. The opening and closing function of the valve is controlled by connecting the
airlines to the valve controller (e.g. 97101).

4.5 Pump lubrication

1. The pump seal pack is lubricated via an oil reservoir located at the top of the pump
(this can be seen by looking at the bottom of the pump shaft).
2. Fill the reservoir with the supplied paraffin oil until it is approximately ¾ full.

7
5. Operating the Unit

5.1 Installing the adhesive cartridge

1. Place the pneumatic ram switch in the “up” position.
2. Remove the pneumatic ram from the cartridge holder.
3. Cut the end of the adhesive cartridge to expose product.
4. Insert the cartridge into the cartridge holder and screw it into the cartridge insert
firmly to ensure a positive seal.
5. Replace the pneumatic ram.

5.2 Priming the reservoir block

1. Unscrew the valve on the front of the reservoir block until the incorporated bleed
hole is partially visible.
2. Move the pneumatic ram switch to the “down” position and slowly increase the
regulator to 1bar (15psi) pressure.
3. The ram will move down into the cartridge and start to push the adhesive into the
reservoir block.
4. Observe the reservoir block bleed valve.
5. As soon as product is observed at the bleed valve, move the pneumatic ram switch
back to the “up” position.
6. Close the bleed valve and wipe away any excess adhesive.
7. The reservoir is now primed.

5.3 Priming the pump

1. Close the adhesive feedline valve.
2. Open the pump priming valve located on the right hand side of the pump.
3. Connect the included piece of clear tubing to the valve to easily observe product
being primed.
4. Move the pneumatic ram switch to the “down” position and slowly increase the
regulator to 1bar (15psi) pressure.
5. Ensuring that the unit is turned on, increase the pump regulator pressure to 15psi
6. The pump should move rapidly until adhesive is drawn into the intake. If the pump
stalls, continue to increase the pressure until the pump is moving at a smooth
controlled pace.
7. Observe the pump bleed valve.
8. As soon as the product is observed approaching the end of the bleed tubing, close
the pump bleed valve. The pump should stall.
9. The pump is now primed.

Priming the reservoir block, pump and feedline will consume approximately
200ml of adhesive.

8
5. Operating the Unit (continued)

5.4 Priming the feedline and dispensing

1. Connect the valve to a controller and open the valve by pressing the purge button on
the controller (alternatively if you don’t want to hold the purge button down for a
period of time, connect air to the valve to continuously hold open).
2. Open the main feedline valve on the pump.
3. The pump should start to operate.
4. Increase the pressure until the pump is operating smoothly.

The viscosity of the dispensed adhesive will determine the pump pressure
setting and purge time.

5. After a short period of time, product should start to be dispensed from the valve (if
no product is observed after some time and the pump is operating, increase the
pump pressure to move the product through the feedline faster).
6. Continue to dispense approximately 50ml of product until no air bubbles are
observed.
7. Release the valve purge button on the controller.
8. The system is now primed and ready to operate.

5.5 Adjusting dispense rate

1. Increase or decrease the pump regulator pressure to achieve the desired flow rate
through the valve.
2. Valve needle size will affect dispense rate. A smaller needle will require higher
pump pressures to dispense at the same rate.

6. Care and Maintenance

Caution!
Ensure that the pump oil reservoir is maintained with oil. If the oil reservoir is empty
for extended periods, the actuator seal pack can wear prematurely and start to leak
product, eventually seizing the pump.

Notice:
Moisture curing adhesives are typically difficult to clean from surfaces once cured.
Wipe any excess adhesive from surfaces as soon as possible.

Notice:
To prevent curing of moisture curing adhesives (e.g. valve nozzle), dip or pour
paraffin oil onto the adhesive to prevent contact with moisture/humidity. Paraffin oil
can also be used to purge silicone adhesives from the dispenser.
