The free end of the product feedline is connected to the product reservoir. For product reservoirs, 0.5 l and 2 l versions are available. The control of the dispenser is provided by a control unit of the LOCTITE equipment line.
Description Theory of Operation The LOCTITE adhesive is transported through a product feedline to the dispenser by the dispensing pressure in the product reservoir. This feedline has a PTFE-liner to prevent curing of adhesives in this area. When the ejector piston moves back the dispensing chamber will be filled. The adhesive is spat under high pressure by very fast movement of the piston.

Installation – Keep the pressure hose as short as possible. Short switch-on and switch-off times for the dispenser are within reach. – Keep product feedlines as short as possible. The shorter the feedline the smaller the specific resistance and the lower the dispensing pressure can be. –...

– PTFE-lined stainless steel needles (especially for fast curing products). As a matter of principle, spitting is possible with each LOCTITE dispensing needle. An exact spitting is only possible with the conical dispensing needles. With same dispensing quantity certain correlation determines the selection of the needle.
2. If it is not available an additionally pressure multiplicator has to be used. To limit the pressure at 8 bar a LOCTITE filter regulator order no. 97120 or a comparable one is necessary. Otherwise the integrated burst plate of the reservoir can burst (lower burst limit 8.8 bar / 125 psi).
Dispensing Adjusting the Dispensing Quantity The dispensed quantity is adjusted by setting the size of the dispensing chamber in the dispenser. • Adjust the required amount of adhesive by turning the stroke adjustment knob 7 clockwise or counter-clockwise to decrease or increase the effective size of the chamber.
Maintenance The VoluDrop Dispenser requires no special care. As maintenance only a sealing ring inside has to be replaced regularly. The dispenser has to be cleaned, if it is dismantled for replacing the sealing rings, see section 5.1. The maintenance interval is at a dispensing rate of : –...
• Replace the product feedline and/or – Curing in the product feedline or in the dispensing needle. the dispensing needle. • Loctite Service – Curing in the VoluDrop Dispenser. • Check the controller setting (see – Controller incorrectly adjusted. operating manual of the controller).
A claim of defect in materials or workmanship in any Products shall be allowed only when it is submitted to Loctite in writing within one month after discovery of the defect or after the time the defect should reasonably have been discovered [and in any event within six months after the delivery of the Products to the purchaser].
