Operational CapabilitySignature nozzles are available in standard, low-flow, and low-flow,low-density offerings. Standard Signature nozzles:S With a shim thickness of 0.5 mm and orifice diameters equivalent to

0.022 in. (0.56 mm), standard flow Signature nozzles provideadequate performance in the majority of applications and are thedefault nozzle selection.

S With a shim thickness of 0.3 mm and orifice diameters equivalent to0.017 in. (0.43 mm), low-flow Signature nozzles provide additionalhydraulic resistance, improving process stability at low applicationflow rates.

S With a shim thickness of 0.3 mm, six adhesive orifices (standard andlow-flow nozzles have 12 orifices), and orifice diameters equivalent to0.017 in. (0.43 mm), 25-mm low-flow, low-density Signature nozzlesare recommended for applications in which very low productionspeeds and/or low material add-on conditions exist.

Most production environments require a range of flow rates at a fixedmaterial viscosity. Application requirements will determine the selection ofstandard, low-flow, or low-flow, low-density nozzles. To aid in nozzleselection, the Signature nozzle capabilities are shown graphically in Figures4 through 6.

Table 1 Preferred Nozzle Cleaning MethodCleaning Method Procedure

Oven (preferred) WARNING: Risk of explosion, fire, or toxic vapor release.Depending on the type of adhesive and/or organic solvent usedwith the nozzles, heating them in an oven can cause a hazardousevent. Before using an oven to clean nozzles, consult with theoven manufacturer about the viability of this method and thesafety risks. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations.WARNING: Use the oven heating controls to keep the oven at thedesired temperature. Do not use an oven that does not haveheating controls.

CAUTION: Risk of equipment damage. Remove seals beforecleaning nozzles in an oven. Failure to do so can cause a chemicalreaction that will permanently damage the nozzles.

a. Ensuring that seals have been removed from the nozzles, place them inan electric oven heated to approximately 385 _C (725 _F). Allow thenozzles to bake for approximately 3-4 hours.

WARNING: The heating temperature and time may need to beadjusted based on the oven type, the adhesive type, and theamount of char buildup on the nozzles. Nordson Corporationrecommends testing this procedure on discarded nozzles prior tousing it on good nozzles.

WARNING: Risk of fire. Use a heat-proof cloth to clean nozzles. Evencotton can burn in high-temperature conditions.

WARNING: Risk of equipment damage. Handle nozzles carefully toavoid denting the orifices, which can degrade the adhesive pattern.

b. Turn off the oven and allow the nozzles to cool; then remove thenozzles.

c. Wipe the nozzles with a soft cloth and then gently blow air through thenozzle orifices from the mounting side of the nozzle.
