5. Operations

5.1 Priming the Valve

• Connect the utilities.
• Place a full product bottle in the reservoir.
• Set the reservoir pressure to a value suitable to the product viscosity (low pressure for low
viscosity product, higher pressure for high viscosity product).
• Position a container under the dispense nozzle. If it is not possible to position the container
under the dispense nozzle, use the silicone tube to route the outlet point to a container in a
remote location.
• Set the valve controller on "Manual" control to open the valve.
• On the reservoir set pressure/vent control (toggle switch) to pressure positon.
• Open the valve until air free product flows at the dispense point.
• Remove the container or tube. The valve is ready to dispense.
• Once the valve has been primed, set the valve controller to "Timed Mode".

5.2 Adjusting the Amount of Loctite

The Loctite Shot Miser Valve™ is part of a pressure-time dispense system. Here are the
®
variables that control the amount of product dispensed:
• Product pressure
Higher pressure = more product flow
Lower pressure = less product flow
• Time the valve is open
Longer time = more product flow
Shorter time = less product flow
• Needle size
Larger needle inside diameter = more product flow
Smaller needle inside diameter = less product flow
• Stroke adjuster setting.
More valve opening = more product flow
Less valve opening = less product flow
Generally speaking the stroke adjuster setting is the least useful of the above (4) variables. This is
because it has no numerical set point. Pressure, time, and needle size all have numerical values
that can be recorded and repeated.
Because of the large number of products, only general guidelines will be given for dispensing.
Higher viscosity products will require higher pressures, longer times, and larger needle I.D. The
reverse is true for lower viscosity products.
