Applicator Overview
The applicator has several major assemblies: the base applicator, the filter,
the modules and nozzles, the cordsets, and the solenoid valves.
Base Applicator
The base applicator is the part of the applicator into which both adhesive and
pattern air enter. The size of the base applicator depends on the number of
modules installed on the applicator (typically from 1–22) and the spacing of
the modules (even or uneven).
Adhesive enters the applicator through the heated adhesive manifold and
then passes through a filter, which removes any char or debris. The adhesive
then splits into separate streams that flow to the modules.
Pattern air enters the applicator through the heated air manifold and then
flows to the modules, which blow the heated air onto the adhesive exiting the
nozzles.
Filter
The Universal in‐out filter located inside the adhesive manifold removes char
and debris from the adhesive before it is fed to the modules. Figure 2‐4
shows the filter. For information specific to the filter, refer to Section10,
Filter.
