High-Pressure Fluids
High-pressure fluids, unless they are safely contained, are extremely
hazardous. Always relieve fluid pressure before adjusting or servicing high
pressure equipment. A jet of high-pressure fluid can cut like a knife and
cause serious bodily injury, amputation, or death. Fluids penetrating the skin
can also cause toxic poisoning.

If you suffer a fluid injection injury, seek medical care immediately. If


possible, provide a copy of the MSDS for the injected fluid to the health care
provider.

The National Spray Equipment Manufacturers Association has created a


wallet card that you should carry when you are operating high-pressure
spray equipment. These cards are supplied with your equipment. The
following is the text of this card:

WARNING! Any injury caused by high pressure liquid can be serious. If you
are injured or even suspect an injury:

S Go to an emergency room immediately.


S Tell the doctor that you suspect an injection injury.
S Show him this card
S Tell him what kind of material you were spraying
MEDICAL ALERT—AIRLESS SPRAY WOUNDS: NOTE TO PHYSICIAN

Injection in the skin is a serious traumatic injury. It is important to treat the


injury surgically as soon as possible. Do not delay treatment to research
toxicity. Toxicity is a concern with some exotic coatings injected directly into
the bloodstream.

Consultation with a plastic surgeon or a reconstructive hand surgeon may


be advisable.

The seriousness of the wound depends on where the injury is on the body,
whether the substance hit something on its way in and deflected causing
more damage, and many other variables including skin microflora residing
in the paint or gun which are blasted into the wound. If the injected paint
contains acrylic latex and titanium dioxide that damage the tissue’s
resistance to infection, bacterial growth will flourish. The treatment that
doctors recommend for an injection injury to the hand includes immediate
decompression of the closed vascular compartments of the hand to release
the underlying tissue distended by the injected paint, judicious wound
debridement, and immediate antibiotic treatment.

LA844M Electric Applicator 5

Fire Safety
To avoid a fire or explosion, follow these instructions.

S Ground all conductive equipment. Use only grounded air and fluid
hoses. Check equipment and workplace grounding devices regularly.
Resistance to ground must not exceed one megohm.
S Shut down all equipment immediately if you notice static sparking or
arcing. Do not restart the equipment until the cause has been identified
and corrected.
S Do not smoke, weld, grind, or use open flames where flammable
materials are being used or stored.
S Do not heat materials to temperatures above those recommended by
the manufacturer. Make sure heat monitoring and limiting devices are
working properly.
S Provide adequate ventilation to prevent dangerous concentrations of
volatile particles or vapors. Refer to local codes or your material MSDS
for guidance.
S Do not disconnect live electrical circuits when working with flammable
materials. Shut off power at a disconnect switch first to prevent sparking.
S Know where emergency stop buttons, shutoff valves, and fire
extinguishers are located. If a fire starts in a spray booth, immediately
shut off the spray system and exhaust fans.
S Shut off electrostatic power and ground the charging system before
adjusting, cleaning, or repairing electrostatic equipment.
S Clean, maintain, test, and repair equipment according to the instructions
in your equipment documentation.
S Use only replacement parts that are designed for use with original
equipment. Contact your Nordson representative for parts information
and advice.

LA844M Electric Applicator 11

Intended Use
LA844M applicators are designed for the application of low-viscosity,
unheated fluids (such as perfumes) in non-contact glue applications.

LA844M applicators may not be used


S in a defective condition
S with unauthorized modifications
S when the housing is open or protective equipment is removed
S in a potentially explosive atmosphere
S to process explosive and flammable materials, materials sensitive to
pressure, or food products

Theory of Operation
Driven by an electric applicator driver (usually an E400 driver that has been
programmed specifically for use with this applicator), the LA844M applicator
provides all-electric actuation, eliminating the need for compressed air. Fluid
enters the inlet port of the applicator and is directed through the manifold
into the module seat, which is sealed by the end of the armature. When the
applicator coil is energized by the driver, the armature lifts off of the seat,
allowing fluid to flow from the applicator. The armature is held off the seat by
the magnetic attraction of the coil. When the driver de-energizes the coil,
the coil loses its magnetic attraction and the armature is forced back into the
seat by a return spring, stopping the fluid flow.

The needle stroke of the dispensing module can be adjusted via the
armature, even during operation.

Part 1062950A02 E 2010 Nordson Corporation


LA844M Electric Applicator 15

Adjusting the Needle Stroke


See Figure 4. The module has an armature that can be adjusted at any
time, even during operation, to change the amount of fluid that flows from
the applicator in increments of 0.0254 mm (0.001 in.) This is referred to as
adjusting the needle stroke. You can set a specific needle stroke, or you can
adjust the stroke until the desired pattern is achieved.

CAUTION! Risk of equipment damage. It is possible to attain zero needle


stroke. Take care not to overtighten the armature. Doing so can damage the
seat.

1. To set to a specific needle stroke, tighten the armature until it bottoms


out, and then back up the number of increments required to obtain the
desired needle stroke.
2. To adjust the needle stroke until a desired pattern is achieved, run the
production line and turn the armature as follows:
S To increase the amount of fluid that flows from the module at lower
operating pressures, turn the armature counterclockwise (+).
S To decrease the amount of fluid that flows from the module at higher
operating pressures, turn the armature clockwise (−).
