2.1. INTRODUCTION:
This machine is designed to melt hot-melt adhesive, or similar
materials, in a heated reservoir. A pump then pressurizes the adhesive
and transfers it to a manifold, where it flows through heated hoses to
the application point.
2.2. MAIN PARTS:
The main machine parts are shown in the following figure:

Do not disassemble the manifold. This operation should only be
done if there is a Hot-Melt leak between the tank and the distributor.
2.2.5. Tank:
The Tank is where the Hot-Melt or other similar material is melted (the
other material can be in the form of pellets or blocks). The cast
aluminium tank is lined with Teflon to avoid carbon deposits and crystal
formation, and incorporates a resistance heating system.
A sensor with a micro-controller controls resistance heating, and can
be programmed up to 240ºC.

2.2.9. Vacuum Feeder:
The purpose of the vacuum feeder is to automatically fill the
tank with adhesive from an external container. This system is
controlled by sensors that automatically detect a need for
adhesive. It must be set as STATED in the settings section.
If the sensor detects a low level of adhesive, the electrovalve
opens and the vacuum feeder will supply adhesive until it
detects high adhesive level. If the adhesive does not load
before 200 seconds, an amber-colored light will blink and an
alarm will sound.
When the vacuum feeder lid is opened, it will deactivate. To
reactivate it, close the lid and lock it properly.
Pressure regulator:
This is the element used to raise or lower the pressure to the piston pump.
It is regulated dependent on the application. It includes an air filter to
prevent impurities entering the machine.
Bleed electrovalve:
This is the element that controls air passage to the pump. It is electrically
connected to the electrical control system. This allows the applicator to
adapt to the main machine speed.

4.2.1. Introduction:
The temperature of the tank, hoses and guns in the Hot – Melt
application equipment is regulated by a digital electronic device
controlled by microprocessor. It’s equipped with calendar-clock to
connection control.
Regulation is proportional, with factory-set parameters for the separate
heating inertias of the tank, hoses and guns.
The temperature is measured by the RTD sensor on each of the
heating devices. These can be programmed individually and on each
output channel between 14º - 240º C (57,2ºF – 464ºF).
The range ability (measurement range) of the controller is between -
20ºC(-4ºF) and 240ºC(464ºF).

4.2.3.11 Temperature Programming
It’s relative to the temperature established for each zone. The system
indicates that it is ready (and the System Ready LED turns green)
when each zone reaches the programmed temperature. The system
gives permission. The permission activates the pump. This prevents
the pump from activating before the adhesive melts.
See the adhesive technical data sheet to find the melting point.
The pre-programmed temperature must be set to at least -5ºF (-3ºC). If
set too close to the point (for example, -1ºF), the pump will stop
momentarily until the temperature is reached again.
The parameter range goes from 0ºF to 36ºF (0ºC to 20ºC) and the
manufacturer preset value is 5ºF (3ºC).

4.3.17. SYSTEM/PUMP READY TEMPERATURE OFFSET
The System Ready Temperature is relative to the temperature setpoint
of each zone. The system is ready (and the System Ready LED
illuminates green) when all zones reach their respective temperature
setpoints minus the System Ready Temperature Offset.
The system ready signal enables the pump motor. This prevents the
pump motor from being activated before the adhesive in the pump has
softened.
Consult the adhesive data sheet to find the softening point
temperature.
The System Ready Temperature Offset must be set to at least -5°F (-
3°C). If it is set too close to the setpoint (for example, -1°F), the pump
motor will stop during momentary drops in temperature of any zone
until the zone is again within 1°F of the setpoint.
The System Ready Temperature Offset parameter range is 0°F to 36°F
(0°C to 20°C) and the default factory setting is 5°F (3°C).
This parameter can be accessed in Password Level 2 or higher.

be changed or cleaned. Once the filter has been serviced, the timer
can be reset for a user set time of up to 2000 hours.
We have to program Beacon 2 (see page 50) to Alarm, in this way the
screen will show a message when we should change the filter.
After replacing the filter, we should reset the counter.

TEL: +34 948 321580 Fax: +34 948 326584 [email protected] www.valcomelton.com
NOTE: As a last resort, if you need a longer delay because of a more
than 10 meters length of the vacuum and air pressure and low flow
conditions, could be increased by an external timer.
PRECAUTIONS:
Do not modify the probe position; the correct height is obtained
by securing it as closely as possible to the end of the probe.
The high-level detector must be situated at the level where the
adhesive covers the tip of the probe slightly. If the probe is re-
calibrated to the level with the probe fully covered, there may be
a risk of adhesive overflow and high air filter wear due to
adhesive splash during the filling process.
It is necessary to secure the reference conductor connection to
the ground of the unit (probe red cable). Its disconnection could
cause that the system becomes unstable.

Warning: When you wish to check the tank adhesive level, you can
do so while the equipment is loading, without any problem, as the
micro (sensor) installed on the cover allows the equipment to detect
when the cover is opened and stops the vacuum feeding. Once the
cover is closed, it will begin loading again automatically.
Note: Never operate the applicator if the tank is empty. If the quantity
of hot-melt material is very small, the adhesive may degrade, leading
to the carbonisation of the HOT-MELT material, and the formation of
deposits inside the unit. This may lead to unnecessary downtimes
later on.

the purging valve and the manifold, and the tank empties.
7. Changing the filter and seals on the dismantled parts is
recommended once the tank is empty.

Bleed Process:
The bleed process is done to sweep away small crystallisations that
may be produced in the filter, and to depressurize the system.
Before purging the filter, put on goggles, gloves and a long-sleeve shirt to
prevent possible burns caused by hot adhesive splashing.

5. Increase the air pressure until the adhesive flows through
the bleed hole and leaves the filter free of any
contaminating particles.
5.10 STOPS:
There are two cases:
Pump stop:
If you wish to stop pumping, you must turn the pressure regulator to 0.
The temperature control will maintain the equipment temperature.
If the stop is to be for an extended period, activating the Setback
function is recommended. (See Section 4, 4.18 and Section 5, 5.5)
Total stop:
To power down the equipment, switch the unit off.

WARNING: The maintenance operations described in this chapter
should be performed only by qualified personnel who understand the
processes and are familiar with the safety measures involved.
6.1. INTRODUCTION:
This chapter contains the procedures involved in the maintenance of
the EC equipment. These maintenance procedures guarantee safe
operation and increase machine life. Before starting a maintenance
operation, read chapter 1. “Safety” carefully.
Keep the tank as full of adhesive as possible. This will reduce the
formation of charred adhesive on the tank’s inner walls.
Keep the tank cover closed. (Any contamination in the tank will
increase the possibility of low performance. Humidity, dirt and charred
adhesive are the main causes of nozzle obstruction).
Use cheesecloth to remove material leaking from the seals and other
connectors when the machine is hot, but not in operation.
Empty and clean the system completely when there are frequent
obstructions, due to dirt and char.
Make sure that you are properly protected and follow all pertinent
safety measures:

6.2. MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS:
The following table shows the frequency with which maintenance
operations should be performed:
Frequency Maintenance
Clean the outer surface of the equipment. Use a liquid
cleaner, following the instructions for the adhesive being
used.
If you use a cleaning agent, make sure that it is compatible with the
adhesive being employed.
When in doubt, contact the adhesive manufacturer.
6.3.2. Bleeding the pressure regulator air filter:
Bleed the air-regulation unit by pushing the lower button on the filter.
Change the regulator filter as necessary, depending on the
contaminants that accumulate in the pneumatic system.

6.3.3. Removing the Pump Casing
To replace one adhesive with another, empty the system (See 5.2
"Emptying the Tank").
Emptying the system is important when changing the adhesive. Not doing
so may cause equipment damage.
