INTRODUCTION Introduction Dear customer, We are delighted that you have decided to purchase a ViscoTec product. We have no doubt that this product will meet all your requirements. We wish you trouble-free and successful operation. The dosing system consists of the eco-PEN XS 180 dispenser and the eco- CONTROL EC200 2.0 dosing control unit or the plug´n´dose 2.0 dosing control unit.
INTRODUCTION Incoming inspection Damage in transit can lead to malfunctions, and consequently to personal injury and damage to property. Damaged components must not be put into operation. Check the delivery immediately on receipt for damage in transit and damage to the packaging.
SAFETY Safety Explanation of symbols used The following symbols are used in this manual: Work step • List Fig. 1 Legend number, reference to a figure Reference to a comment COMMAND Designations of buttons/switches, menu items and input dialogs The following notices indicate safety instructions and must be followed: DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
SAFETY Intended Use The eco-PEN XS 180 dispenser is used to feed and precisely dose viscous materials. The dispenser is controlled using the eco-CONTROL EC200 2.0 dosing control unit or the plug´n´dose 2.0 dosing control unit. Check the chemical resistance of the materials that are in contact with the material before commissioning.
SAFETY Personnel The operating organisation shall ensure that only appropriately qualified and authorised personnel work on this machine. It is responsible for ensuring that operators and maintenance staff possess the necessary qualifications. Personnel must be at least 15 years old. All personnel working with or on the machine must have read and understood this operation manual.
SAFETY Preventing damage to equipment In order to prevent damage to equipment and to ensure precision dosing, ensure that • the dispenser must never be operated without material (the stator will be destroyed) • the material inlet (feed) and the material outlet must never be closed during operation •...
SAFETY Residual risks Thorough training, observance of the operation manual and compliance with safety regulations are key to permanently accident-free operation. The following residual risks may occur when operating this machine: WARNING Material hazardous to health The conveyed material may contain constituents which are hazardous to health. Such constituents may cause serious acute or chronic harm to health if they come into contact with skin, are inhaled or swallowed.
SAFETY CAUTION Splashing material During initial commissioning and after being refilled, air bubbles in the material could cause an uncontrollable spraying from the conveying area. This may result in injury. • Always wear appropriate protective equipment • Fully bleed the system before start of production CAUTION Pointed dosing needle Depending on its size, the dosing needle can be very thin and pointed.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Product description The dispenser has been developed and tested for precision dosing of materials ranging from low to high viscosity with extremely high repeat accuracy. preeflow dispensers are positive displacement pumps. The conveying elements comprise a rotating part, the “rotor”, and a stationary part, the “stator”. The rotor, which is in the form of a type of knuckle thread, rotates inside the stator, which has one more thread turn and twice the pitch length of the rotor.
OPERATION Operation Initial commissioning All activities described below may only be carried out by qualified staff. Preparation Undo the cap nut (2). Detach the protective cap (8a) from the rotor (4). Detach the cap (8b) from the cartridge adapter (25a). ...
OPERATION 4.1.2 Connecting the dosing unit to the drive unit Check that the coupling (5) is fitted to the drive unit (11). Fully connect the dosing unit (20) to the drive unit (11). Slightly rotate the dosing unit (20) on the drive unit (11) until the movable pin (9) engages. ...
OPERATION 4.1.3 Changing the cartridge holder Detach the rings (10). Loosen the screw of the 10 cc cartridge holder (32). Remove the 10 cc cartridge holder (32). Slide the 30 cc cartridge holder (33) on up to the notch. ...
OPERATION 4.1.4 Fitting the cartridge Slide the cartridge into the cartridge adapter (32/33) and twist it onto the cartridge adapter (25a). Align the cartridge with the cartridge adapter (25a). Fit the adapter head. 32 / 33 Fig. 6 16 / 40 eco-PEN XS 180 INST-019689 / 0...
OPERATION 4.1.5 Feeding material and bleeding the dispenser for the first time The dispenser can be bled in one of two ways after the material has been supplied. Version A (e.g. closed cartridge, material tube) Fit the cartridge (see Section 4.1.4 ...
OPERATION Version B (e.g. open cartridge with self-leveling material) Fit the cartridge. Fill the cartridge with material. Move the dispenser into a position in which the bleed valve (23a) points upward. Attach the transparent tube (with an inner ...
OPERATION Switching on, starting dosing process Daily at the start of the shift/when starting work, perform the activities as described in Section 5.1 “Maintenance intervals” (Page 22). NOTE The supply of material to the dispenser must be ensured before dosing starts. Dry running may destroy the stator.
OPERATION Changing cartridges Switch off the supply of material to the dispenser (depressurize the material). Slowly open the bleed valve (23a), release the inlet pressure and close it again. Remove the adapter head. Unscrew and remove the cartridge. ...
OPERATION Decommissioning All activities described below may only be carried out by authorised maintenance staff. Switch off the drive to the dispenser and lock it to prevent it from being switched on again. Shut down material supply to the dispenser (depressurise). ...
MAINTENANCE Maintenance In the event of a fault, or if there is any doubt that the machine/system is not completely ready for operation, it must be shut down immediately and inspected by competent maintenance staff before operation continues. WARNING Maintenance and cleaning work may only be carried out when the machine has been shut down safely and secured against unauthorised restarting.
MAINTENANCE Troubleshooting Fault Possible cause Action Motor not connected Connect the motor Fault with mains supply Check electrical installation Material hardened/set Dismantle and clean the dispenser Dosing needle blocked Clean/replace dosing needle Dosing needle too small or too Use a different needle cross- long section.
MAINTENANCE Changing the stator All activities described below may only be carried out by authorised maintenance staff. Preparation Disconnect the dosing control unit from the power supply. Unplug the power supply to the drive unit. Shut down material supply (depressurise). ...
MAINTENANCE 5.3.2 Remove the stator There are two options for removing the stator. Variant 1 is the easiest option. Variant 2 is used if the stator is stuck to the end piece. This option also allows the stator to be quickly removed for intermediate cleaning. Variant 1: Twist off the end piece (3).
Page 26
MAINTENANCE Variant 2: Screw on the cap nut (2). In doing so, all components (end piece (3), cap nut (2) and stator (7)) remain together. Intermediate cleaning can now be carried out. If the end piece (3), cap nut (2) and stator (7) are stuck to one another, these can be ...
MAINTENANCE Dismantling before cleaning When cleaning the dispenser, attention must be paid to the chemical properties and chemical reactions of the material. In doing so, observe and comply with the corresponding specifications of the product data sheet. If you have any queries, contact the manufacturer of the material.
CLEANING Cleaning WARNING Cleaning work may only be carried out when the machine has been shut down safely and secured against unauthorised restarting. Otherwise, serious injuries may result. • Switch off the dosing control unit. • Disconnect the dosing control unit's power cable from the power supply If the dispenser is soiled with material or if the dispenser is disassembled and cleaned, use a cleaning agent which matches the material.
