11 Section 2 Description

12 Description 2-1 Section 2 Description 1. Introduction This manual covers the Nordson Powder Conditioning System (PCS) which is designed to be used in conjunction with Nordson Powder Coating Installation. The way in which the PCS is integrated with a typical installation is shown in Figure 1 (for cartridge-based systems) and Figure 2 (for cyclone-based systems). The Booth, Reclaim Section, New Powder Feeders and other components of your system are described in separate manuals. 2. Intended Use The PCS receives new and reclaimed powdered paint, sieves out any impurities which may affect the paint finish and stores the powder in a feed hopper. A porous fluidizing plate in the bottom of the feed hopper diffuses low pressure air into the powder supply. The air fluidizes (or aerates) the powder so that it can be pumped to the spray guns. The gun pumps, mounted on the lid of the feed hopper, draw powder out of the hopper through pickup tubes, mix it with a high velocity stream of air and force it through the feed hoses to the powder spray guns. The guns electrostatically charge the powder and spray it onto grounded workpieces, conveyed through the Powder Booth Canopy. To maintain a slight negative pressure, a vent duct connects the feed hopper with the Colour Changeable Module (Figure 1) or the Afterfilter Unit (Figure 2). 3. System Equipment A typical PCS system consists of two main parts, the powder sieve and the feed hopper. These are shown in Figures 1 and 2, for cartridge reclaim systems and cyclone reclaim systems, respectively. The hopper and the sieve are selected according to the required powder throughput, the number of spray guns, the expected powder properties and environmental factors specific to the place of installation. Additionally, the PCS may be specially modified and/or fitted with accessories designed to suit specific requirements. These may include simpler powder handling (eg. Powder Bulk Feed System), automated control (eg. Powder Level Control System), provision for adverse climates (eg. Air Drier) and close coupling the PCS unit with the cartridge module. Where applicable, these are described in separate manuals.

Before starting up, ensure that all tube fittings, hose clamps and electrical plugs are securely fitted. Connections should follow the general format shown in Figure 3,4, and Ensure that all the installation guidelines have been completed for the other sub-systems in your power system such as the powder booth reclaim section, new powder feeders and other accessories. Follow the instructions shown in the corresponding manuals supplied separately.

16 Operation Set all air pressure regulators, supplying lines to the main PCS components, to zero. 5. Turn ON the system compressed air supply. Adjust supply pressure to 700 kpa (100psi). 6. Turn ON the system electrical power. 7. Press the START push button to start the exhaust fan. 8. Ensure that the hopper is correctly grounded to earth Fill the feed hopper with powder to approximately 2/3 full. 9. Calibrate the powder level sensor (if fitted) on the feed hopper following the instructions supplied separately. 10. Set the feed hopper fluidizing air pressure to kPa (10 15 psi). Adjust the pressure until it appears to be gently boiling. Allow minutes before spraying, to ensure the application of properly conditioned powder. 11. Set up the powder sieve following the guidelines shown in the respective manual included in the appendix section of this manual. Generally the sieve will start up with the exhaust fan. 12. For the transfer pump, which draws powder from the colour changeable module to the sieve, set the air pressure to 70kPa (10 psi). Adjust the pressure to a higher level if necessary. Systems with more than one reclaim hopper may be fitted with timed module pumpout. Ensure that the necessary adjustments are carried out in accordance with the instructions shown in the relevant manual. 13. If Vent assist is fitted to the vent spigot of the feed hopper carry out the following adjustment after a few minutes with the system on and the sieve running. Lift the access lid on the top of the feed hopper. If the top surface of the fluidized layer of powder is not visible then adjust the air flow control valve to increase the air flow to the vent assist nozzle. The vent assist nozzle. The vent assist will create a slight negative pressure within the hopper, thereby clearing away the cloud of suspended powder from the upper region of the hopper. 14. After following the guidelines in this manual as well as those for associated sub-systems, the conveyor packs switched ON and the gun movers switched ON.

17 Operation System Shut-Down 1. Turn OFF the gun power packs, gun movers and unload the conveyor hangers, ensuring clear access inside the booth. 2. Start the transfer pumps and sieves. Clean the booth interior completely and pump the reclaimed powder back from the hopper(s) of the reclaim section into the PCS hopper. Note: It is important that the reclaimed powder be stored in the hopper when the system is left in a shutdown condition. This will ensure that the powder can be effectively conditioned before startup. 3. Remove the powder transfer hoses from the powder transfer pumps and clean through with compressed air. Never blow the hoses towards the transfer pumps. Replace the hoses if they are clogged with impact fused powder. 4. Remove the powder transfer pumps and clean them using compressed air. Inspect any parts for damage and replace if necessary. Refit pumps and hoses. 5. Clean rotary sieves by turning off the sieve, emptying the scrap bucket and, by opening the sieve housing, cleaning the rotor and filter screen with a soft brush. Inspect the screen for damage and replace if necessary. For vibratory sieves, unclamp and withdraw the upper section, clean and inspect the screen and replace if damaged. 6. Carry out cleaning tasks on the powder room, booth, reclaim section, powder guns etc. 7. Turn OFF the exhaust fan. Shut OFF the system electrical powder and the compressed air supply. Note: Turn OFF the exhaust fan. Shut OFF the system electrical power and the compressed air supply.

18 Operation Periodic Maintenance Daily Refer to the cleaning, inspection and replacement items listed in the system shutdown section. Weekly Empty the hopper completely. Vacuum all interior surfaces and inspect the tile for damage or staining. If damaged or stained, then replace. If stained, then check the air drier and air filter and rectify before restarting.

34 Section 5 Appendix

35 Appendix General Nordson Vibratory Sieves consist of a powder collection chamber with a sieve screen element as the lowermost surface. The whole assembly is agitated by an electrically driven vibrator. Incoming powder passes through the moving screen retaining contaminates which may otherwise adversely affect the paint finish. These contaminates need to be manually cleaned from the sieve screen on a regular basis. Your units may be specified as the Box Sieve, the Easy-Screen sieve or the Pancake sieve, the choice depending on a number of factors including the number of guns use in the system, the type of powder, etc. 2. Operation Refer to Section 3 of this manual as specific instructions need to be followed within the general context of the PCS system. For easy screen units, a separate manual is supplied. 3. Troubleshooting 1. Check that the sieve screen is clean. (The frequency of this check will depend on a number of factors unique to your system.) DO NOT clean contaminants into the booth or any other subsystem in the Powder Coating installation. 2. Ensure the sieve screen is properly earthed. 3. Ensure the vibrator is correctly mounted and the motor is operating with the correct direction of rotation. If the rotation is correct, the powder will travel downwards through the internal surfaces of the sieve. 4. Check that the hopper venting is correctly fitted with no hose blockages and that, if fitted, the vent assist is adjusted in accordance with section 3 of this manual. 5. Carry out a Powder Test on your powder as outlined in Figure 6. There are numerous solutions to the problem of sieving waxy powder with a vibratory sieve. These include: (a) (b) (c) (d) Checking the operation of air drier. Placing a small solid object on the screen such as a coin or a golf ball to help break up the powder. Consider fitting a screen with a coarser mesh, such as 890 micro (contact your local sales outlet for information on this) Contact your powder supplier to ascertain the suitability of the supplied powder to your operation.
