Section 2Description

This manual covers general operation, maintenance, troubleshooting,and repair of your Nordson Electrostatic Flux Coating System.Components such as spray guns, control units, sieves, and fire detectionsystems are covered by separate manuals. For information on systemcomponents not covered by the manuals furnished with your system,contact your Nordson Corporation representative.

See Figure 2-1. A porous fluidizing plate in the feed hopper (20) plenumdiffuses low-pressure compressed air into the powdered flux supply. Theair fluidizes the flux so it can be pumped to the spray guns (16).Air-operated agitators (14) stir the flux to help keep it fluidized.

The feed pumps (19) draw the flux out of the feed hopper and mix it witha high velocity stream of air. This air conveys the flux through the feedhoses (18) to the spray guns. The guns electrostatically charge the fluxand spray it on the workpieces passing through the booth.

The exhaust fan (1) pulls air into the booth enclosure (17) and throughthe cartridge filters (4). The oversprayed flux suspended in the air flowcollects on the outside of the cartridge filters. The final filters (2) removeany remaining flux from the air. On a signal from a timer, the pulsevalves (3) release large volumes of air through the center of the cartridgefilters, blowing off the accumulated flux. The flux falls into the bottom ofthe collector (5), where it is fluidized. The reclaimed flux is then pumpedby transfer pumps (6) through large-diameter transfer hoses (7) to anaccumulator (15) mounted on a rotary sieve (13).

The rotary sieve screens the flux. Particles too large to pass through thescreen are discharged into a scrap container (11). The screened fluxfalls into the reclaim hopper (12), where it is stored and fluidized. A loadchute on the reclaim hopper allows new flux to be added when systemsupplies run low. Flux is pumped by transfer pumps (10) through largediameter transfer hoses (8) to the feed hopper accumulator (21) on asignal from a level sensor. Conveying air, fluidizing air, and dust arevented into the collector through vent hoses (9, 22).

See Figure 2-2. The feed pump (1) has three air inlets in the pump bodyand an in-line inlet fitting installed at the outlet. When a spray gun istriggered, flow-rate air (A), atomizing air (B) and pulse air (C, C1) areturned on. Flow-rate air draws the powdered flux into the pump andconveys it to the spray guns. Pulse air breaks up any clumps of flux.Atomizing air distributes the flux evenly in the air stream and increases itsvelocity.

When the spray gun is turned off, flow-rate, atomizing, and pulse air areturned off and reverse air (D, D1) is turned on. Reverse air prevents theflux from clogging the pumps, hoses, and guns. The transfer pumps (2)work on the same principle, but are equipped only with flow-rate air (A)and pulse air (B) inlets. To prevent flux from contaminating the solenoidvalves that control air flow, all air lines are equipped with one-way checkvalves (3).

Manual 38-15

Two people are needed to remove and replace the cartridge filters. Oneperson removes and installs the mounting hardware from the top of themounting plate, while the other person holds the filters.

WARNING: Before performing this procedure, shut offelectrical power at the system electrical panel. Lock and tag theswitch. Failure to observe this warning could result in personalinjury or death.

1. See Figure 6-2. Manually pulse the filters to remove all excess flux.Remove the baffle (9).

2. Remove the pulse valve compartment and filter compartment accessplates (1).

3. Reach down into the center of the filters (8) and grasp the draw rodT-handle (6). Have another person hold the filters up against themounting plate (10). This will prevent them from falling into thecollector and damaging the fluidizing plate when the mountinghardware is removed.

4. Remove the nuts (2), lock washers (3), flat washers (4), and filtermounts (5) from the draw rods. Save the removed parts.

5. Remove the cartridge filters from the collector.

6. Unscrew the draw rods from the cartridge filter bosses and removethe filter centering brackets (7) and draw rods from the cartridgefilters. Save the draw rods and centering brackets for reuse.

NOTE: Do not use any cartridge filters other than those specified foryour system. Using unapproved cartridge filters could seriously affect theoperation and performance of your system, as well as void any agencyapprovals. Do not use damaged filters.

1. See Figure 6-2. Thoroughly clean the sealing surfaces on theunderside of the mounting plate (10). Dirty surfaces will prevent thecartridge filter gaskets from sealing properly and allow flux to leak intothe fan section.

2. Insert the threaded end of the draw rods (6) through the centeringbrackets (7).

3. Install the draw rods and centering brackets into the new cartridgefilters (8). Screw the draw rods into the filter bosses and tighten themby hand.

4. Center the cartridge filters under the filter openings in the mountingplate. Hold the cartridge filters up against the mounting plate.

5. Use the draw rod T-handles to pull the cartridge filters up against thefilter mounting plate. Install the filter mounts (5) on the draw rods,making sure the slots slip over the T-handles.

6. Install the flat washers (4), lock washers (3), and nuts (2) on the drawrods.

7. Slip the tabs on the filter mount arms into the locating slots in themounting plate.

CAUTION: Do not overtighten the nuts, or you may damagethe cartridge filters.

8. Tighten the nuts until the filter mounts and centering brackets aretouching. This will compress the filter gaskets (11) and seal thecartridges against the mounting plate.

9. Re-install the pulse valve compartment and filter compartment accessplates. Make sure the plate gaskets are not damaged.
