Field of Application (Intended Usage)
The Pinch Valve is suitable for the exact application of LOCTITE adhesives up to a viscosity of
approx. 5000 mPas, especially for CA adhesive.
For the viscosity range to approx. 500 mPas, the standard Pinch Valve with the supplied product
feedline of 1.7 mm inner diameter is usable.
For products with a viscosity from 500 to 5 000 mPas, the Pinch Valve must be equipped with the
accompanying product feedline kit. The kit contains a product feedline with an inner diameter of
2.4 mm and the corresponding accessories.
For each product and corresponding application of the Pinch Valve, various dispensing needle types
and sizes are available:
– Conical dispensing needles of polyethylene for viscous products and large dispensed quantities.
– Stainless steel needles for thin fluids and UV curing products (especially suitable for spot
applications).
– Flexible dispensing needles of polyethylene for especially quick hardening products.
At a manual working position, the Applicator Pencil is used. For this purpose, the Pinch Valve is
mounted on the cover of the product reservoir. The free end of the product feedline is connected to
the Applicator Pencil.
The Pinch Valve can also be used as a stationary applicator unit. In this case, the Pinch Valve is
mounted directly at the gluing position. The free end of the product feedline is connected to the
product reservoir.
For product reservoirs, 0.5 l and 2 l product tanks are available.
The control of the Pinch Valve is provided by a control unit of the LOCTITE equipment line.
