28 FillEasy C Adhesive Feed System Adjusting the Air Throttle The air supply cools the cone and prevents the adhesive from sticking or coagulating. The continuous air supplied to the air throttle can be adjusted to regulate the volume of air to the cone. Do not let the temperature of the cone exceed 40 C (104 F). Set the lowest air volume required to achieve the cone temperature by following these steps. NOTE: Measure the cone temperature just above the collar so that it reaches the appropriate temperature. NOTE: The amount of air flow is dependent upon the tank temperature and upon the softening point of the adhesive. The higher the softening temperature of adhesive, the greater the volume of air flow will be required. 1. See Figure 15. Turn the adjustment screw to the right (clockwise) until air does not flow. 2. Turn the adjustment screw 1 / 4 turn to the left (counterclockwise) to open. CAUTION! Ensure that the fill chute is kept cooler than the softening point of the adhesive. Failure to do so will create adhesive buildup on the screen and the sensor. 1 Figure 15 Adjust the air throttle 1. Air throttle 2011 Nordson Corporation
