Introduction
This section provides maintenance/repair and parts information for
applicators with a Universal in‐out adhesive filter.
Filter Overview
The filter is located in the adhesive manifold portion of the applicator and is
screwed into the top of the applicator. A top‐loading filter is referred to as a
vertical filter.
When adhesive enters the applicator manifold, it flows from the inside of the
filter to the outside (in‐out), as shown in Figure10‐1, before it is directed
towards the dispensing modules. This causes char and debris to collect on
the inside of the filter screen.
The filter must be periodically flushed to remove the char and debris from the
inside of the screen. When flushing fails to clean the filter screen adequately,
it should be replaced.
