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:

2.2.1. Electrical cabinet:
The cabinet contains the temperature control interface and related
electrical components.

2.2.2. Frame:
The frame consists of a base plate on which the equipment is installed.

2.2.3. and 2.2.4. Pump-distribution system:


This system transfers adhesive from the tank to the manifold.
Manifold:
The manifold distributes the Hot-Melt, once filtered, to the hoses and
guns.
Made of aluminium, it is located on the lower part of the tank so the
tank heaters can heat it indirectly.
The manifold filter consists of a core and a fine, in-line filter screen to
filter crystal particles or dirt that could be present in the adhesive.
The manifold has six outlet holes to connect the Hot-Melt hoses: three
on the top row and three on the bottom row.
Pump:
The pump delivers the Hot-Melt, or other molten product, at a set
pressure, from the tank to the substrate (or material to be glued), after
passing through a manifold, filter, hoses and guns.
The pump system consists of an electrovalve, a pneumatic cylinder
and a double-acting hydraulic pump with a pressure compensator, to
avoid a drop in the flow produced when changing pump direction, and
enabling uniform Hot-Melt discharge.

TEL: +34 948 321580 Fax: +34 948 326584 [email protected] www.valcomelton.com
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.

2.2.6. Control Panel


The control panel, containing the machine’s operating and adjustment
switches, is on the front of the main electrical cabinet.

2.2.7. Discharge module


The discharge module actuates like a flow valve.
When the system is operating normally, the
module stays closed, but if there is an electric
failure, the module will open immediately (the air
to maintain it closed has been stopped due to
the electric failure), so that pressure in the
hoses and guns will go to the tank.
The purpose of this module is to avoid
dangerous situations, due to residual adhesive
pressure, when electrical failures occur.

2.2.8. Level sensor:


The level sensor measures the adhesive level in the tank. With this, it
is possible to determinate acceptable high and low adhesive levels in
the tank. After adhesive reaches the top level, the sensor sends the
signal to stop filling. When it reaches the lowest level, it sends the low
signal and the vacuum feeder is automatically activated.

Adjustable level sensor

TEL: +34 948 321580 Fax: +34 948 326584 [email protected] www.valcomelton.com
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.

2.2.10. Other key elements

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.

4.1. INTRODUCTION:
The following adjustments should be made before the machine is
switched on or while it is working. They will ensure that the machine
works properly and safely.
4.2. TEMPERATURE CONTROL:
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).

Bellow -20ºC(-4ºF), the equipment will display a probe short circuit


fault. Above 220ºC(454º), the display report an open probe fault.
4.2.2. Brief description of how the unit operates:
With menus to access the parameter programming as well as the main
machine operating permissions, alarms and diverse work functions that
will be described later on, the equipment regulates the temperature of
the resistors connected to the various dual hose-gun channels (2, 4 or
6 depending on the model) and those connected to a special channel
that heats the tank.
The control panel displays the equipment operating data as well as the
alarms generated in the probe signals. The LEDS also display the
status of the heat resistor regulator outputs, pressure pump, excess
temperature alarms, safety and maintenance required status.
Preheat function:
Given that the warmed adhesive tank has greater inertia than the
warmed peripherals (hoses and guns), the latter will get to the
programmed temperature faster. This quick warming process has an
enormous effect on the resistors and insulator. At the same time, this
process creates excessive pressure which flows through the hoses.
To correct this situation, the equipment features a pre-warming system
which on the one hand, will heat the peripherals sequentially while the
tank warms at normal speed. In other words, when the tank reaches a
temperature of 41ºC below the programmed temperature, the pre-
heating system will move on to the hoses; and when the tank reaches
a temperature of 14º below the programmed temperature, the systems
moves on to the guns.

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.

4.3.18. FILTER CHANGE TIMER
The Filter Change Timer Screen is a count down timer that shows the
time remaining on the currently installed glue filter. When the counter
gets down to zero (0), an alarm can be sounded and the filter needs to
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.

4.3.19. AUTOMATIC PUMP MODE
When the Automatic Pump Mode is on, the pump will automatically
start when the system reaches temperature and the System Ready
LED illuminates.
If the Ready Delay Time is enabled and set for a preset time (15
minutes), the pump will not start and the unit will not be ready until 15
minutes AFTER the control has gotten to temperature.
The factory default setting is OFF.
This parameter can be accessed in Password Level 2 or higher.

4.3.20. POT FILL MODE


In this mode of operation, melted glue is pumped into an external pot
when the external lever control falls below a set level. The external
level control is wired to the external level input on the CPU, J6.
In this mode, the pump turns on ONLY when it receives a signal from
the external level input, and the unit is ready. Normal pump operation
is ignored in this mode. The automatic pump mode should be ‘On.’
Pattern control and valves are typically not used in this operating
mode.
On-delay time is set by the operator to delay pump activation ‘x’
seconds after the external level input calls for glue.
After the delay time expires, the pump will turn on and run until the
external pot level triggers the level sensor that the pot is full, and the
pump then turns off.
This parameter can be accessed in Password Level 2 or higher

4.3.21. LEVEL SENSOR SETUP
ADJUSTING THE LEVEL SENSOR

To adjust the probe, follow the procedure:

Turn off and turn on the unit.

Find the electrical box of the probe into the unit.

Disable the feeder opening the tank lid. Feeder alarms may activate
during the adjustment procedure.

Drain the adhesive in the tank until this one be empty.

Remove the screw of the potentiometer.

IF THE LIGHT IS RED (NEGATIVE DETECTION):

 Turn the screw clockwise just until the light changes to RED-
YELLOW (flashing). Observe that after three seconds of
flashing, the light is green.
 After that, turn the screw 2 turns counterclockwise.

IF THE LIGHT IS GREEN (POSITIVE DETECTION):

 Turn the screw counterclockwise just until the light changes to


red.
 Now, turn carefully the screw clockwise just until the light
changes to RED-YELLOW (flashing). Observe that after three
seconds of flashing, the light is green.
 After that, turn the screw 2 turns counterclockwise.

Assembly the unit and test the working.

In order for the level probe to be calibrated properly, it must be done


with the tank completely empty, or with the least amount of adhesive
possible.

For more information on the level sensor, call our toll-free


assistance number.

4.3.21.1 Internal Level / External Level
There are two types of level control typically used with the Units, an
internal level sensor and an external level sensor. The internal level
sensor can be used inside the tank of the unit to trigger an auto-fill
device (see hopper feeder below), or an alarm state. The external
level sensor is used for pot fill mode (see Pot Fill Mode). The delay for
these sensors to activate can be set in this screen.

4.3.21.2 Hopper Feeder – Internal Low Level Detection


The Hopper Feeder option is used to refill the hot melt control’s tank
with fresh adhesive when the tank level drops below the set level
sensor. This eliminates the need for the operator to manually open the
tank lid and add adhesive to the tank.
The internal low level sensor is mounted in the hot melt control tank so
that when the adhesive drops below the sensor, a feeder valve is
energized to feed glue into the tank to be melted. This feature has a
safety door switch that will disable the feeder if the tank door is
opened. The door switch, internal level sensor and feeder valve need
to be connected to the CPU board, to operate properly.
The internal low level sensor plugs into J15 on the CPU board. This
feature does not need to be set up in the software. If the Hopper
Feeder and it’s components are connected as described above, the
valve will energize when the door switch is closed and the sensor calls
for glue.
Door Switch
The tank lid door switch will be wired to J14 on the CPU. The switch
must be in the closed position for the feeder valve to energize and add
adhesive to the tank. When the tank lid is opened, the feeder valve will
turn off.
Feeder Valve Operation
The feeder valve is a dedicated +24VDC @ 0.5A output that will
energize when the internal low level sensor calls for glue and the door
switch is closed. This is J17 on the CPU board; pin 1 is +24V, pin 2 is
ground.

4.3.22. ADJUSTING THE OUTPUT PRESSURE:
The adhesive output pressure is controlled by the pressure regulator
and electrovalve unit. It is located at the front of the unit.
Pressure gauge:
This is the element that indicates pressure, in bar and psi, at which the
pneumatic pump and the compensating valve are operating.

Pull the knob out to set and push it down to lock.


Set the pump pressure to 40 Psi (2.5 bar)
The pump will operate and pressurize the system.

Adjustment
Knob

This pressure is a starting point setting. You may need to change


the pressure setting, depending on application.
The ratio between pneumatic and hydraulic pressure is 1:14. This
means that, for each pneumatic bar indicated on the pressure gauge,
there will be 14 hydraulic bar at the pump.

4.3.23. MELTON-RECHNER LEVEL PROBE

This is a capacitive level probe that controls the vacuum feeder


system.

It detects the level of adhesive and orders activation. There is a three-


second disconnect delay when going from a low to a high level, in
order to ensure that the system performs minimum, effective loads.

Visual Indications:

Green Light  Full; Output not Red-Yellow blinking light Full;


activated Output activated, delay at
disconnect

Red Light  Empty; Output


activated
 Green Light: Positive Detection.

The probe interprets that the tank is full. It does not activate the
output that orders the feeder to load adhesive.

 Red Light: Negative Detection.

The probe interprets that the tank is not full and orders the
adhesive feeder to be loaded.

 Red/Yellow Intermittent Light: Positive Detection,


Disconnect Delay.

After switching from a negative detection to a positive detection,


the probe maintains the feeder load signal for three seconds. This
ensures a minimum effective load. This delay does not apply to the
initial transition; in other words, when the probe is turned on.

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.

5.4.1 Automatic Setback


Automatic setback can be programmed through one of the remote
inputs from the input screen. When an input is set for Auto. Setback,
AND the Auto Setback Timeout is enabled, the control will
AUTOMATICALLY go into set back if the input has not been triggered
for the timeout set by the user.
For instance, if a valve fire signal is connected to Input #2, Input #2 is
programmed for Auto. Setback and the Auto. Setback Timeout is
enabled and set for 30 minutes, the control will automatically go into
set back if the valve has not been fired for 30 minutes. Each valve fire
within that 30 minute time period will reset the Timeout timer to start
back at 30 minutes. The setback symbol will start to flash 2 minutes
prior to the control going into setback.

5.5 POT FILL – EXTERNAL LOW LEVEL DETECTION
Pot Fill is used when the hot melt control is being used to heat the hot
melt adhesive and remotely fill a pot. Using the Pot Fill mode, the hot
melt control can precisely monitor the pot level and fill the pot on
demand from the low level sensor mounted in the pot.
For setup details, refer to Section 4.

5.6 HOPPER FEEDER – INTERNAL LOW LEVEL DETECTION


The Hopper Feeder option is used to refill the hot melt control’s tank
with fresh adhesive when the tank level drops below the set level
sensor. This eliminates the need for the operator to manually open the
tank lid and add adhesive to the tank.
For setup details, refer to Section 4.

5.7 BEACON ALARM


The Beacon / Alarm output connector is provided as a dedicated
+24VDC @ 0.5A output for a visual or audio alarm. This can be set up
to alert the operator of one of 4 fault conditions (see Section 5 – Setup
for description).
The installer can connect the “+” lead of the alarm to Beacon 1 (pin 3)
and the “-” lead to GND (pin 1) of J30 on the CPU board. When the
Beacon / Alarm screen is set up for an alarm condition, the +24VDC
output will enable the alarm device to signal that the condition on the
control has been met (eg. Low Level).

5.8 EXTERNAL INPUT


The External Input can accept 230VAC, 24VAC or +24VDC to reset the
Setback Timeout when the control is in Auto. Setback. This is used in
special applications and the programmable inputs should be used for
this feature (see Automatic Setback, above). The pin out for this
connector on the CPU board is critical (see Section 4 for this connector
location).

5.9 FILLING THE TANK

Before filling the tank, put on goggles, gloves and long sleeves to
avoid possible burns from splashes of hot adhesive.
 Models type A / B (Without Vacuum Feeding):
1. Ensure that the tank is clean and free of foreign particles.
1. Fill the heated tank with the hot-melt material, to a maximum of
10mm below the edge of the tank.

Filling tank

2. Close the tank cover immediately after filling the tank.

 Models type C (With Vacuum Feeding):


1. Make sure that the tank is clean and free of foreign
particles.
2. In this case, the equipment is fed automatically by the
installed vacuum feeder. The sensors detect when the tank
needs adhesive, as well as when it is no longer needed.
This way, the person handling the equipment does not have
to worry about anything except making sure the vacuum
feeder is always supplied with adhesive, in the container
used to hold it. Said container must be placed near the
equipment so the tubes comprising the vacuum feeder are
not pulled, which might cause damage.

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.

Emptying the Tank:


Before emptying the tank, put on a face shield, gloves and long-sleeve
shirt to prevent possible burns caused by hot adhesive splashing.
1. Warm the equipment to the working temperature.
2. Reduce the air pressure to zero.

3. Eliminate system pressure by releasing the manual guns or
opening the bleed valve.
4. Place an appropriate container under the manifold to collect
the adhesive.
5. Unscrew the purging valve with a screw driver.
6. Increase the pressure gradually until adhesive flows through

contaminating particles.

6. Close the bleed valve with a screw driver.

7. Return the pressure to the appropriate working pressure.

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.

General recommendations for proper maintenance:

 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:

1. Switch off the air at the mains.


2. Switch off the main switch.
3. Lock and tag out the main switch.
4. Make sure power is off.
5. Follow all applicable safety standards.

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.

Inspect all the electric, pneumatic and hydraulic


Weekly
connections. Replace or repair when necessary
(40 hours)

Bleed the drain valve.

Change the air regulator filter.


6 Months
(2000 hours)
Clean the tank filter.

Operation frequency depends on the type of adhesive used and the


environmental conditions where the equipment is placed.

6.3. MAINTENANCE PROCESSES:


6.3.1. Cleaning the equipment
Vacuum the dust or glue remnants, or remove them with a soft cloth,
especially from the manifold and bleed valves.
Clean the control panel periodically with a soft cloth. Do not use
solvents, which could damage the control panel.
Use a soft cloth to remove dust and glue remnants from the cylinder,
valve and exhaust mufflers.

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.

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.

8.1. INTRODUCTION:
This chapter explains the procedures for dismantling and replacing
some components. These procedures must be done during
maintenance tasks, or when there is a failure.
Before beginning, make sure the operator is properly protected and all
safety measures are being followed.

1. Switch off the air at the mains.


2. Switch off the main switch.
3. Lock and tag out the main switch.
4. Make sure the electricity is off.
5. Follow applicable safety and health standards.

Attached are the exploded views that illustrate the procedures.

8.2. CHANGING THE FILTER:


Before changing the filter, put on a face shield, gloves and a long-sleeve
shirt to prevent possible burns caused by hot adhesive splashing.
Keeping a filter on hand, to replace when necessary, is recommended.
This replacement is quick and improves equipment performance.
1. To change the filter, the applicator should be at working
temperature.

2. Reduce the applicator air pressure to "0".

3. Place a receptacle below to collect the adhesive from the


manifold.

4. Open the drain valve with a screwdriver to eliminate residual


pressure.

5. Open the filter plug screw with a screwdriver, and take out the
filter unit.

6. Place the filter into the manifold and screw it in with a


screwdriver.

7. Close the drain valve with a screwdriver.

8. Set to the desired working pressure.

8.3. REPAIRING THE MANIFOLD:
The manifold is the element that distributes Hot-Melt, after it has been
filtered, to the hoses and guns.
It is assembled at the bottom of the tank so that the tank heaters heat it
indirectly.
The manifold has six outlet ports to connect the Hot-Melt hoses; three
at the bottom and another three at the front.
Do not disassemble the manifold. This operation should only be
done if there is a Hot-Melt leak between the tank and the manifold.

8.4. REPAIRING THE PNEUMATIC PUMP UNIT:
The pump unit consists of a valve, a shifter valve, a pneumatic cylinder
and a double-acting hydraulic pump, equipped with a pressure
compensator to avoid a drop in flow rate that occurs when changing
pump direction, and to enable maximum uniformity in Hot-Melt flow.

Cylinder unit

Hydraulic unit

Before disassembling the hydraulic unit, put on goggles, gloves and


long sleeves to avoid possible burns from splashes of hot adhesive.

1. Warm the tank until the adhesive is melted.

2. Reduce the air pressure to zero.

3. Eliminate system pressure by releasing the guns manually


or by opening the bleed valve.

4. Disconnect the electricity.

5. Disconnect the regulator unit electrically and mechanically.

6. Loosen the two pump cover screws 1/4 turn and lift the
pump casing.

Follow the assembly procedure instructions carefully.
Positioning and alignment of some elements are critical to perfect
pump operation.
In the event the pump not working correctly, carry out the following
checks.

Is the air pipe connected?


Does the electrovalve work?
Is the equipment at the right temperature?
Is the regulator working at the right pressure?
Are the filters clean?
Are the modules blocked?
Is the shaft aligned correctly?
