Pinch Valve Assembly

9

Part 768670A

.

2005 Nordson Corporation

When in operation, the top pinch valve (1) opens for a controlled specific

time causing the powder that has accumulated to flow out of the surge

hopper and in to the chamber below. The top pinch valve then closes and

the bottom pinch valve (2) opens. Compressed air is then automatically

injected in to the chamber to push the powder out of the whole assembly

and in to transfer tubing which transports the powder to a sieve or storage

equipment.

The sequence of operation is controlled by the pinch valve controller

situated in the booth control cabinet or the feed centre, dependent upon

type of booth. These sequence settings are factory set, and should only be

modified by Nordson personnel.

Raising And Lowering The Surge Hopper For Cleaning

See Fig 3

A raise / lower toggle switch is situated on the side of the surge hopper

lifting mechanism. Flicking the toggle switch upwards raises the lifting

mechanism, flicking the toggle switch downwards lowers the mechanism.

valve pumping sequence
