Setup and Installation
The Nordson GN1160 Gear Pump is designed as a replacement or component for hot melt glue machines. Installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with hot melt adhesive systems.
- Safety First: Ensure the hot melt glue machine is completely powered off and depressurized before beginning any installation. Allow the system to cool down to prevent burns.
- Preparation: Gather necessary tools, including wrenches for mounting bolts and appropriate seals or gaskets (if not included with the pump).
- Mounting: Align the gear pump with the mounting points on the hot melt glue machine. Secure it using the appropriate bolts. Refer to Figure 2 for mounting hole locations.
- Connections: Connect the fluid inlet and outlet lines to the corresponding ports on the pump (refer to Figure 3). Ensure all connections are tight and properly sealed to prevent leaks.
- Electrical/Pneumatic Connections: If applicable, connect any electrical or pneumatic lines according to the hot melt machine's specific wiring diagram. The pump operates with an electric engine type and pneumatic power source.
- Initial Check: After installation, visually inspect all connections for tightness and proper alignment.
Note: Detailed wiring diagrams and specific installation steps may vary depending on the hot melt glue machine model. Always consult the primary machine's service manual for precise instructions.
Operation
The GN1160 gear pump functions as part of a larger hot melt glue machine system. Its operation is typically controlled by the main machine's control unit.
- System Power-Up: Follow the hot melt glue machine's instructions to power up the system.
- Temperature Control: Allow the hot melt adhesive to reach the specified operating temperature. The pump should not be operated with cold or solidified adhesive.
- Pump Activation: The pump will activate as required by the machine's dispensing program. It is designed to deliver a consistent flow of hot melt adhesive.
- Monitoring: Monitor the adhesive flow and pressure during operation to ensure optimal performance.
Caution: Never operate the pump dry or with insufficient adhesive, as this can cause damage to the gears and internal components.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and reliable performance of your Nordson GN1160 Gear Pump.
- Cleaning: Periodically inspect the exterior of the pump for any adhesive buildup or debris. Clean with appropriate solvents if necessary, ensuring no solvent enters the pump's internal mechanisms.
- Seal Inspection: Check seals and gaskets around the pump for signs of wear or leakage. Replace as needed to maintain system integrity.
- Filter Maintenance: Ensure that any inline filters upstream of the pump are regularly cleaned or replaced according to the hot melt machine's maintenance schedule. This prevents foreign particles from damaging the gear pump.
- Lubrication: The gear pump is typically self-lubricating from the hot melt adhesive. No external lubrication is usually required for the internal components.
- Storage: If the pump is to be stored for an extended period, ensure it is thoroughly cleaned and free of adhesive residue. Store in a dry, temperate environment.
Note: For internal component maintenance or repair, it is recommended to contact a certified service technician or the manufacturer.
