3.1 Functional description The DA 400 EVO extrusion valve is an electro- pneumatically controlled applicator for the application of materials such as sealants, adhesives, greases or oils. The process is generated by the control air and the material feed pressure, and can take the form of either an intermittent or a continuous process.
4.1 Assembly The valve DA 400 EVO can be installed in any position. Securely and tightly screw the valve to the arm or machine. Natural oscillation occurs in intermittent operation. To achieve clean application, it is essential to avoid the transmission of natural oscillation both from the machine to the valve and from the valve to the machine.
