Barrel Reservoir Selection
Remember, each barrel must use the proper size adapter head. Five
sizes of barrels and four sizes of adapter heads (30cc and 55cc
barrels use the same size adapter head) are provided with this
dispenser—3cc, 5cc, 10cc, 30cc and 55cc.
The most comfortable size barrel is the 10cc. But if you plan to make
very small dots, we recommend the 5cc or even the 3cc size. For
All components are quality produced
large dots or encapsulating work, use the 30cc or 55cc size.
in a silicone-free environment by
EFD in the USA.
If you find you need more reservoir capacity than 55cc, consider the
2 1/2, 6 or 12 ounce cartridges. Contact EFD for assistance and
specific recommendations based on your application.
Tip Selection
The EFD 5100 Component Kit included with the dispenser contains
a complete selection of disposable tips.
The appropriate tip for your application will increase assembly
production. Refer to the enclosed booklet with the Component Kit for
helpful recommendations.
Time and Pressure Settings
When establishing settings for your material, keep the time as short
as possible, the tip as large as possible and air pressure as needed
to produce the dot size you require.
Rule of Thumb: Start with a short pulse time. Use the dispensing tip
size appropriate for the size dot required. Vary air pressure. For
more output, gradually increase pressure.
Caution: Use of high air pressure with low viscosity material and a
small gage tip can expel the material some distance.
