Flow Control
Flow control of adhesive with your new 3M™ Scotch-
Weld ™ Hot Melt Applicator PG II LT is easy. Any
operator familiar with the control devices should be
able to adjust the applicator for desired flow. To adjust
adhesive flow, a combination of these control methods
can be used.
The four control devices are:
1. Speed of 3M Scotch-Weld Hot Melt Applicator PG
II LT movement.
2. The
trigger.
3. The applicator tip.
4. Air
pressure.
The trigger of the applicator is uniquely designed to
allow for variable adhesive control. By pulling the
trigger slowly to the rear, you can observe the start of
adhesive flow. As you continue to pull the trigger
rearward, increasing amounts of adhesive are
dispensed.
Your 3M Scotch-Weld Hot Melt Applicator PG II LT is
equipped with a 9921 (.093’’) tip as a standard
equipment. This tip will provide maximum flow for all
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Hot Melt LM Adhesives. The
brass extension tip (9946) will allow for maximum
control
of all the 3M Scotch-Weld Hot Melt LM
Adhesives and substantially reduce initial surge. This is
accomplished at a
decrease
in flow rate. Speed of
movement is the preferred means to control flow. In the
event that this is inappropriate for your operation,
additional accessory tips are available.
Note
DO NOT REDUCE AIR PRESSURE BELOW 40
PSI.
If low adhesive flow occurs when operating at
reduced air pressure, return to maximum (80 psi) and
run at least one cartridge of adhesive through the
applicator and then return to the lower pressure.
Tip No.
