Nordson UltimusPlus Series User Manual

Filling the Syringe Barrel
NOTE: Refer to the Nordson EFD catalog for filling equipment options, such as
the Atlas
™
filling system.
Do not overfill a syringe barrel. Leave room for the piston and adapter. If the
installed adapter touches the piston, material will be forced out of the syringe
barrel.
CAUTION
To the greatest extent possible, prevent air from being trapped under the piston.
Air trapped under the piston, either mixed uniformly in the material or larger
bubbles trapped during the filling process, can cause several dispense problems
including, but not limited to, drooling after dispense, piston bouncing, and
tunneling of air through thick materials.
CAUTION
Top Filling of Pourable Materials
1. Install the tip cap.
2. Pour material into the syringe barrel to the appropriate fill level, leaving
room to install the piston and the adapter.
3. To minimize the formation of trapped air under the piston and to prevent
material from leaking past the piston wiper, insert the piston until it fully
engages with the material.
EXCEPTION: If using the Blue LV Barrier piston, fill the syringe barrel to 1/2
of the barrel capacity and position the piston above the fluid and just below
the adapter.
Top Filling of Medium- to High-Viscosity Materials
1. Install the tip cap.
2. Pour material into the syringe barrel to the appropriate fill level, leaving
room to install the piston and the adapter. Observe the following guidelines:
• Transfer material using the best available tools to minimize the formation
of air bubbles in the material.
NOTE: To quickly and efficiently remove entrapped air from material
packaged in syringes, consider using a Nordson EFD centrifuge, such as
the ProcessMate
™
5000.
• Take care to minimize the formation of residue on the syringe barrel walls.
When a piston is inserted, residue can form a seal at the piston wiper,
interfering with proper installation.
3. To minimize trapped air under the piston and to prevent material from
leaking past the piston wiper, insert the piston until it fully engages with the
material.
