Safe Installation and O per at ion
Read and adhere to the manual!
1. Read this manual before applying electrical power to the equipment. Equipment may
be damaged by incorrect electrical connections.
2. To avoid possible failure of hoses, make sure all hoses are routed to avoid kinking,
tight radius turns (8” or less) and abrasive contact. Hot‐melt hoses should not have
prolonged contact with heat‐absorbing surfaces such as cold floors or metal troughs.
These heat‐absorbing surfaces can alter adhesive flow and cause incorrect
calibration. Hoses should never be covered with materials that prevent heat
dissipation, such as insulation or sheathing. Hoses should be spaced apart from each
other, not making direct contact.
3. Do not use adhesive that is dirty or that may be chemically contaminated. Doing so
can cause system clogging and pump damage.
4. When adhesive hand‐ held applicators or other movable applicators are used, never
point them at yourself or at any other person. Never leave a hand‐held applicator's
trigger unlocked when not actually in use.
5. Do not operate the hopper or other system components without adhesive for more
than 15 minutes if the temperature is 150 degrees C (300 degrees F) or more. To do
so will cause charring of the residual adhesive.
6. Never activate the heads, hand‐held applicators and/ or other application devices until
the adhesive's temperature is within the operating range. Severe damage could result
to internal parts and seals.
7. Never attempt to lift or move the unit when there is molten adhesive in the system.
8. In case of an emergency or exceptional incident, press the emergency stop button in
order to stop the unit quickly.
9. Use the unit only as it is intended to.
10. Never let the unit run unattended.
11. Operate the unit only in a faultless and fully functional condition. Check and make
sure that all safety devices work in proper form!

3.2 Description of UFD Spray Applicator
Description
ITW Dynatec’s UFD Spray Applicators are air-operated, single or multi-module hot melt
adhesive applicator assemblies with integrated basket filters, which prevent particulate
matter from obstructing flow through the heads.
The Applicator is heated by replaceable cartridge heating elements which are controlled
by an integrated sensor and electronic control. Each model can be configured for ITW
Dynatec’s DynaControl, MCV or Upgrade control schemes or for Allen-Bradley PLC
controls. Pressure transducer ports are standard features for all Applicators. A choice of
adhesive inlets and an angled filter nut allows either vertical or horizontal spray.
Four standard UFD models supporting up to six modules, are available, ranging in width
from 50mm to 150mm (2” to 6”). Their design is metric.
Theory of Operation
Each Applicator features one or more modules (adhesive valve) mounted to a single
service block. Each module is opened and closed by air pressure (solenoid valve).
Springs are used to keep the stem closed when no air pressure is supplied to the head.
The rate of adhesive flow from the applicator is determined by the adhesive pressure
applied by the Adhesive Supply Unit’s (ASU’s) pump, the nozzle type and the stem stroke
adjustment.
As shown in the illustration below, the heated adhesive supply hose may be connected at
the rear of the applicator or at the top. Adhesive flows from the hose into the service
block, through the filter and then to the module. Air pressure (Control Air) opens the
module, allowing adhesive to flow through the module’s nozzle.
Adapters are available to allow indus try-standard pressure transducers (1/2-20 thread) to
be connected to monitor adhesive pressure within the service block.
On the UFD spray models, an air preheater is located below the service block. The
preheater supplies heated air (Process Air), used to fiberize the adhesive streams, to the
UFD modules. The air preheater is thermally isolated from the service block and its
temperature is controlled independently.
The adhesive pressure in the system is influenced by the following parameters:
• Temperature and viscosity of the adhesive

6 bar air pressure are required. Reason:
be installed between the standard air regulator/ filter and the UFD Applicator.
Heed the following for the installation of the heated hoses:
they cannot be repaired the hose would have to be changed completely.
2. Connect the compressed-air supply to Applicator. Connect all solenoids with air hoses
as required.
• Lower air pressure causes uneven adhesive application.
• The modules do not switch or switch with delay, resp. open and close again, if the air
supply is uneven.
• Only permanent pressure and sufficient volume flow leads to reproducible application
accuracy regarding position and amount.
CAUTION: Do not use lubricating oil with the air supply as Applicators are
lubricated at the factory and do not require lubrication when used in production.
Where oil is present in the air supply, a coalescing filter (Dynatec PN 100055) must
UFD Applicators require at least one solenoid valve for each applicator. If your head was
ordered without a solenoid valve, a 4-way valve (or a 5-way valve for snuffback modules)
should be mounted so that the air lines to each Applicator are as close to the same length
as practical.
Note: Air lines and fittings must be capable of withstanding temperatures up to 218°C
(425°F). ITW Dynatec supplies Air Control Filter Coalescing Kits (PN 100055) to be used
with air-operated Applicators (see the Air Control Filter Coalescing Kit Manual in
Appendix A of this manual).
For process (preheater) air control, the filter/ regulator kit PN 107404 is recommended. It
contains a 0-50 psi air filter/ regulator combination and a liquid-filled gauge for accurate
process air control.
See the Process (Preheater) Air Control Filter/ Regulator information in Appendix B.
When connecting the air lines to the applicator, the air line which has air pressure to the
module when the solenoid is OFF is the closing air line. See Appendix A and B for details
and diagrams of solenoid setup.
3. If a pre- or post- filter pressure transducer is to be utilized: install the supplied adapter
into the desired accessory port. Thread the transducer into the adapter (transducer
adapter has 1/2-20 thread). Follow the transducer manufacturer’s recommendations
for torque specifications. Note: the alternate hose inlets on either side of the Applicator
can also be used for the transducer adapter.
4. Before making the adhesive connection to the Applicator, align the adhesive supply
hose with its electrical connector oriented in relation to the electrical connector on the
top of the Applicator.
Connect the swivel fitting of the hot melt hose to the adapter on the service block,
using either the inlet port located below the filter nut or the port located on the top of
the Applicator (beside the electrical connection in the diagram). When tightening the
hose fitting, hold the hose cuff to prevent the hose core from rotating.
• Heated hoses may be damaged by overheating, if they are laid faulty.
• The heated hoses may not be stacked one on the other!
• The heated hoses may not be pressed together and / or bound.
• Put the hoses separated next to each other!
• The connections for supply resp. return hoses may not be mixed up.
• It is essential that the hoses will be laid without twisting!
• Heated hoses may not be fastened with binders or similar.
• Heated hoses may not be laid on a sharp edge.
• When using a balancer, a hose support with a radius of 400mm has to be mounted.

Special Installation Notes on HiSpeed, Vertical Snuffback, Direct-Air Module
Special Installation Notes on Optional PN 112690, 112440 & 112934 HiSpeed, Vertical
Snuffback, Direct-Air Module (Option Code C,D, G see Chapter Model Designation Guide)
The PN 112690, 112440 & 112934 modules are designed for the solenoid valve to be
connected directly to the module air cylinder. Fittings and tubing are included with the
module assembly.
If alternative fittings or tubing are desired, the recommended tubing is aluminum or
stainless steel, 1/4” OD x 3/16” ID. For best performance, the tubing length should be as
short as practical (recommended length is 2.5” min. to 6” max.). The port threads in the
module are 1/8-27 NPT.
If necessary for clearance, the air cylinder can be rotated to re-position the tube fittings.
Remove the four cap screws securing the air cylinder, and without removing the air
cylinder, rotate to the desired position. Replace the cap screws and torque crosswise,
first to 5 in-lb., then to 20 in-lbs.
Recommended operating air pressure is 70-90 psi.
Operation of Optional Drain Valve
(Option Code A, see Chapter Model Designation Guide)
UFD Applicators with the “A” option are equipped with a drain valve located on the right
side of the Applicator. This drain valve allows residual adhesive pressure to be relieved
prior to maintenance or repair of the Ap pl icator . Dur ing Applicator installation, the drain
valve can be relocated to the left side of the Applicator for access, if necessary.
The drain valve consists of a valve body with a rotatable outlet collar that directs the flow
of adhesive. A plug is located inside the body, retained by a snap ring to prevent the plug
from being fully removed.
Operation
1. Ensure that all pumps in the ASU (Adhesive Supply Unit) are turned off. Power down
the ASU or disable the Applicator and preheater zones at the control panel.
Disconnect all electrical cables from the Applicator.
The equipmet will still be hot when this procedure is being done.
Use insulated gloves and protective c lothing.
2. Place a suitable container under the Applicator to catch adhesive. Using pliers, rotate
the knurled outlet collar of the drain valve so that the exit hole points toward the
container, and away from any personnel. Stand away from the valve while the
adhesive pressure is being relieved.
3. Using a 19mm (3/4”) wrench on the valve body to prevent rotation, insert a 5mm hex
wrench into the plug. Rotate the plug counter-clockwise to allow adhesive to flow
through the valve.
4. If no adhesive flows from the drain valve, do not assume that there is no adhesive
pressure in the system. Always verify that adhesive pressure has been completely
relieved before proceeding with maintenance or repairs. Never remove the snap ring
in the end of the valve, as this would allow the plug to be removed, possibly resulting
in personal injury.
5. After maintenance or repairs are complete, tighten the plug securely. Wipe any
adhesive from the outer surface of the drain valve.

Purging Adhesive Through the Applicator
This procedure may be used anytime the operator wishes to purge old adhesive from the
Applicator and replace it with fresh adhesive. For example, this procedure could be used
in instances where the adhesive system has been held at temperature for an extended
time without running, such as during a produc tio n line s tar t-up.
The equipment will still be hot when this procedure is being do ne.
Use insulated gloves and protective c lothing.
Procedure
1. Remove all nozzles. Place a suitable container under the Applicator to catch adhesive.
2. Activate the modules and manually run the adhesive pump to purge the hoses and
Applicators of old adhesive. Purge until the adhesive exiting the modules is fresh.
3. Check system pressure to see if filters are clogged and need to be changed.
4. Replace the nozzles and check the adhesive flow through them. Compare to target
flow.
5. Check the nozzle spray pattern.
6. Clean any nozzles that do not spray properly and check the spray pattern again.

5.2 Re-Assembly Procedures and General Cautions
Unless noted, component re-assembly is simply the reverse sequence of the disassembly
procedures. However, the following “cautions” should be followed (whenever they apply)
for proper re-assembly:
In general, all O-RINGS AND SEALS must be replaced whenever hot-melt equipment is
re-assembled. All new O-rings must be lubricated with O-ring lube (PN N07588).
TAPERED PIPE THREADS are found on air pipe fittings used with the pump air supply
and on the outlet filter manifold. Apply thread sealant (PN N02892) whenever tapered
pipe threaded parts are re-assembled.
SOME FITTINGS used for adhesive on hot melt equipment have straight threads and Oring seals. Use of thread sealant is not necessary with these parts, but the O-ring seals
should be clean and lubricated. Tighten straight-threaded parts and fittings until their
shoulders are firmly seated. Excessive torque may damage straight-threaded parts and
the use of power wrenches is not recommended.
HOT-MELT RESIDUE must be cleaned from parts before they are re-assembled,
particularly from threaded parts. As a precaution against adhesive residue preventing
proper re-assembly, threaded parts must always be re-tightened at operating
5.3 Stroke Limit Adjustment
All conventional MR1300 applicators are equipped with a stroke limit adjustment.
For snuffback valves, the stroke is factory pre-set and no field adjustment is necessary.
Whenever the conventional module is disassembled, the stroke limit must be adjusted
using the following procedure:
1. Bring applicator up to operating temperature.
2. Loosen the lock nut (see illustration on next pages, under Chapter 5.5 Replacement of
the Built-in Filter) located on the top of the module.
3. Bottom the stroke adjustment screw lightly.
Tightening the stroke adjustment to shut OFF the nozzl e will cause damage to the
4. Back off the screw one-half to one turn.
5. While holding the screw in position, tighten the lock nut.

Heed all security advices given in Chapter 5.1.
1. Stop all motors.
2. Turn the ASU OFF or disable the Applicator and preheater zones at the control panel.
Disconnect all electrical cables from the Applicator.
3. Relieve the adhesive pressure by following the instructions under Chapter 5.4
“Relieving Adhesive Pressure”.
4. Unplug the electrical cable from the adhesive supply hose or extension cable to
expose the pins in the cable.
5. Use the schematics in Ch. 9 to determine the correct pins used to measure the heater
resistance. Compare the reading with the values given in the charts below.
Service Block Heaters
The service block of the Dynafiber UFD Applicators contain three 10mm heaters wired in
parallel. The parallel resistance values of these heaters is listed below:
Applicator Model
Air Preheater Heaters
The air preheater contains three or more heaters wired in parallel. One heater, located at
the front of the preheater, is 8mm diameter. The remainder of the heaters, located in the
spiral tubes at the rear of the preheater, are 10mm diameter. The number of 10mm
heaters depends on the width of the Applicator.
The parallel resistance values of these heaters is listed below:
Applicator Model
If one of the heaters is not functional, the parallel resistance as measured at the contact
pins will be higher than the range given in the chart. To determine which heater is not
functional, remove the cover plate and test each heater independently.

Troubleshooting In General
Please re-read all security advices given in Chapter 2 before troubleshooting.
All troubleshooting or repair procedures must be performed by qualified, trained
technicians.
The temperatures measured on the outer surface m a y deviat e significantly from the
temperatures set and displayed. This can lead to a false conclusion (e.g. defective heating).
Such a difference is normal and depends also largely on the materials used.
In general: If failure occurs, check first:
• Check all the electrical and pneumatic connections.
• Verify that the main power switch of the unit is ON.
• Verify that the pump is functioning and the Applicator has the required air pressure.
• Verify that the temperature controller is in operation and that the setpoints are correct for

Options & Accessories
ITW Dynatec
Pressure Transducer Tap
Option Code “P” (see Chapter Model Designation Guide) adds one pressure transducer adapter to the
applicator. A special fitting is installed in the left accessory port of the applicator. This fitting allows an
industry-standard pres sur e tr ansduc er with 1/2--20 threads to be connected to the applicator
downstream of the filter. A post-filter transducer is useful for monitoring the pressure drop across the
filter as an indication of a plugged filter. The transducer adapter can be relocated to any of the hose
inlets as required for installation clearance and operator access.
Drain Valve PN 107820
Option Code “A” (see Chapter Model Designation Guide) adds a drain (purge) valve to the applicator.
The drain valve is installed in the right accessory port of the applicator. The drain valve is useful for
relieving pressure prior to maintenance or repair of the applicator. Also, the drain valve is useful for
flushing the filter chamber after the filter has been replaced. It can be relocated to the left accessory
port if necessary for installation clearance and operator access.
Balanced Solenoid Manifold
Option Code “E” (see Chapter Model Designation Guide) specifies a balanced solenoid manifold
(equalized manifold). This manifold has multiple solenoids, but unlike a multiple program manifold, all
of the open air passages of each solenoid are connected within the manifold. Likewise, all of the close
air passages are connected. The purpose of this is to negate the effects of slight differences in
modules and solenoids, resulting in a very consistent and even start-and-stop pattern. The applicator
is, of course, limited to one program.
Low-Profile (Slim line) Models (codes A, J, M, P)
A low-profile applicator refers to an overall smaller head. They are smaller due to the use of slimmer
air heaters, smaller solenoids and the smaller modules of high speed applications. Operation,
mounting and connectors remain the same as in standard models.

Strand Coating System (SCS)
Dynatec’s Stand Coating System is an application used for adhesive coating of elastics. A V-guide
holds the elastic strand in position in front of the applicator’s nozzle in order to precisely coat it with
adhesive as it passes before the module’s orifice. “Back-feed” refers to an elastic strand entering the
guide from behind the module (see below) while “front-feed” refers to a strand entering from in front of
the guide (see next page).
