SB300 PVA Safety Certain warning symbols are affixed to the machine and correspond to notations in this manual. Before operating the system, identify these warning labels and read the notices described below. Not all labels may be used on any specific system.
SB300 PVA Theory of Operation The SB300 is a high pressure valve with a low maintenance design. It dispenses a high flow of medium to high viscosity material with adjustable snuff back. There are two main versions of this valve, one with the 1/4” NPT end fitting and one with a luer outlet.
SB300 PVA Setup Before you operate the valve, know the valve components. Do the steps instructed below for safe and correct operation. 1. Make sure your valve is correctly connect to the dispense system. Refer to your fluid schematic. 2. Make sure you know the valve specifications and do not operate the valve outside of the specifications.
SB300 PVA Operation NOTE: Refer to Section 6 for part reference numbers. All part numbers refer to the NPT version of the valve (drawing 112-07519) unless otherwise specified. NOTE: Use only compatible solvents and materials or the seals and O-rings will be damaged.
SB300 PVA 2. Turn the stroke adjust (9) counterclockwise for two full turns. Figure 2: Turn the Stroke Adjust Two Full Turns 3. Operate the valve at this stroke adjust (9) setting. Adjust as necessary for your application. NOTE: Turn the stroke adjust counterclockwise to increase snuff back and turn the stroke adjust clockwise to decrease snuff back.
SB300 PVA 3. Close the valve. 4. Clean off any material on the valve. 5. Install a night cap, if necessary. Maintenance Interval Action Daily • Examine the material outlets for contamination and cured material. • Replace O-rings and lip seals if they are worn or damaged.
