DescriptionNordson MiniBlue II automatic applicators apply thermoplastic hot melt adhesive to aproduct, providing uniform bead deposition and improved cutoff when used with aggressiveor hard-to-dispense adhesives. Their air-open, air-close dispensing modules allow highcycle speeds and their compact size allows them to fit between the flaps of most cartons.

MiniBlue II applicators are available in a slim, 18 mm (0.71-in.) single-module design withoutplastic cover (34 mm [1.34 in.] with plastic cover), and in a variety of configurable designs,including single-module and multi-module configurations.

MiniBlue II applicators are manufactured according to the design choices made at the time oforder placement. Refer to Applicator Configuration Code under Technical Data at the end ofthis manual for more information.

MiniBlue II Expansion ApplicatorsMiniBlue II expansion applicators have been designed to fit directly into existing Solid Blueapplications with no modifications to mounting brackets. The nozzle tip is in the samelocation as legacy applicators, and the expansion applicators accommodate bar mountingand direct manifold mounting applications.

Freedom™ ApplicatorsFreedom applicators are based on the MiniBlue II platform, but can only be used as part of aFreedom Hot Melt Adhesive Dispensing System. As part of that system, the Freedomapplicator offers the following feature benefits:S Component RecognitionS On-screen system inventory at the melter, including part numbers and serial numbers.S Troubleshooting guidance.

S Freedom applicators only work with Freedom hoses.S Solenoid actuation signal routed through through the Freedom hose (single module

applicator only).S Melter integrated OptiBond™ bead stitching control, allowing for reduced adhesive

consumption (up to 4 channels per melter).

Table 3 Types of Module Air ActuationType of Actuation DescriptionIndependent One solenoid valve directly actuates one module. (SP, SD, P1)

NOTE: SD is not available on retrofit applicatorsCommon One solenoid valve actuates all modules.

NOTE: SP multi-module valves are the only option formulti-module CA applicators configurations.

NOTE: This type of actuation is not recommended for stitchingapplications.

Programmed Two solenoid valves actuate two groups (left and right) ofmodules.NOTE: An SP multi-module valve is the only option formulti-module PA applicators.

NOTE: This type of actuation is not recommended for stitchingapplications.

NOTE: Module performance will be sacrificed proportionately as more modules arecontrolled by a single solenoid valve (common or programmed actuation).

NOTE: SP valves are standard for single-module applications. SD valves are used inapplications with limited mounting space.

NOTE: Solenoid response drift comparison:P1: <1.0 msSP Single: <2.5 msSD: <5.0 msSP Multi: <5.0 ms



Dispensing ModuleBall-and-seat modules are used in combination with Saturn nozzles, allowing easierchange-out of nozzle sizes and eliminating the need to stock multiple reduced-cavitymodules with different orifice sizes. Needle-and-seat modules are used in combination withSureBead nozzles. SureBead nozzles perform similar to reduced cavity and zero cavitynozzles. Because of improved design efficiency, adhesive bead volume may vary slightlyfrom equivalent Blue Series RC and ZC modules. Adjust the adhesive pressure tocompensate.

A MiniBlue II applicator may have 1-8 modules. Air is supplied constantly to a modulethrough a solenoid valve. When the applicator is not being triggered, air will flow through themodule's air-close port to keep the module needle on its seat. When triggered, the solenoidvalve will direct air into the air-open port, lifting the needle from its seat to dispense theadhesive.

EasyOn™ FeatureSee Figure 6. All MiniBlue II applicators use the EasyOn feature. The EasyOn feature on themodule mates with the EasyOn feature on the applicator body. The EasyOn feature allowsthe module to be installed onto the applicator body, regardless of the orientation of theapplicator body.

Figure 6: EasyOn design



Hose Connector/FilterTable 4 shows the filter options based on the style of applicator you have.

See Figure 7. All MiniBlue II applicators have a straight, 45-degree, or 90-degree hoseconnector and either an integrated or an inline Saturn filter. Saturn filters are available in 50,100 or 200 mesh screens to meet your requirements.

Temperature ControlAll MiniBlue II applicators use 120-ohm nickel resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) forprecise temperature sensing and for applicator temperature control to within +0.5 _C (1.0 _F)of a setpoint temperature.

Intended UseMiniBlue II applicators are specifically designed for industrial applications that require thedeposition of a precisely controlled bead of hot melt material onto a moving substrate. Theapplicators are designed to be rigidly mounted, pneumatically operated, and triggered by aNordson-approved, electrically controlled solenoid valve. MiniBlue II applicators aredesigned for use with Nordson melters and hoses.

Auxiliary Devices and Spare PartsMiniBlue II applicators should only be connected to approved auxiliary devices. Use onlynew Nordson replacement parts or approved factory refurbished parts.



InstallationApplicators are installed using the following six-step process:S unpack and inspectS mountS connect the air supplyS connect the hoseS flushS install nozzles

Applicators ordered with special options may require additional installation steps that are notdescribed here.

NOTE: Nozzles must be ordered separately. Refer to Parts for nozzle part numbers.

Items NeededTo ensure a smooth installation, have the following items on hand:S personal protective equipment for working with hot adhesiveS product manuals for associated equipment (melter, hose, etc.)S device to lift and position the applicatorS mounting equipment, such as a mounting rod, appropriate for the parent machineS wiring and 24 VDC power supply for the solenoid valveS air pressure regulator and air line tubing (Refer to Connect the Air Supply provided in

the following pages).S automatic applicator hoseS set of standard and metric hex-head wrenchesS flat-blade and Phillips-head screwdriversS drain pans and waste containers suitable for waste adhesiveS O-ring lubricantS anti-seize lubricant



Installation GuidelinesUse the following installation guidelines for optimum applicator performance.

MountingS Mount the applicator such that the nozzle will be as close as possible to the substrate, but

at a distance that works best for your application. Typically, the minimum distance is twotimes the diameter of the nozzle orifice.

S Ensure that the mounting location provides sufficient clearance around the rear or sides ofthe applicator to allow for removal of the manifold covers.

S Mount the applicator on a rigid support that is isolated from external vibrations and thatprevents the applicator from rotating.

S Insulate the applicator from the support using the insulator provided with the applicator.S Do not remove the nozzle from the SureBead applicator until it is time to start the system

and flush the applicator.

Hydraulic and Pneumatic ConnectionsS Use only one fitting to connect a hose to a hose connector on the applicator.S Insulate hose-to-applicator joints. Insulating cuffs may be ordered separately. Refer to

Parts.S Use only clean, dry, non-lubricated air.S Ensure that the plant air supply and regulator provide a minimum of 4 bar (58 psig) to the

applicator solenoid valve.

Unpacking and Inspection1. Carefully unpack the applicator.2. Inspect the applicator and inventory the contents of the shipping package. applicators are

shipped fully assembled and typically include the following components:S mounting clampS module(s)S solenoid valve(s)Applicators ordered with optional features may be shipped with additional components.

Mounting the ApplicatorThis section describes the following applicator-mounting options:S mounting a applicator on a new or existing systemS replacing a applicator on an existing system

screws, and then install the new module. Tighten the screws to 1.7-2.2 Nm (15-20 in.-lb).

Figure 18: Replacing the module



Replacing a Heater or RTDRTDs are hardwired through the applicator cordset. If an RTD fails, Nordson recommendsthat the entire applicator cordset be replaced. Heaters are terminated inside the manifoldand can be replaced individually without replacing the entire cordset.

The following procedure describes the replacement of an RTD by replacing the entirecordset. Instructions for replacing a heater are also included.

De-energize the system and disable the applicator. Refer to Safety.

Unplug the applicator cordset from the hose.

(Optional) Relieve system hydraulic pressure. Refer to Safety.

(Optional) Using two wrenches, disconnect the hose from the applicator.NOTE: Steps 3 and 4 are not necessary if the applicator is easily accessible and canbe serviced without the need to disconnect the hose.

See Figure 19 or 20 as applicable.1. Remove the applicator cover to access the RTD or heater and remove it from from the

applicator body.2. Disconnect the cordset leads from the terminal block. If the heater is being replaced,

disconnect the heater leads from terminal block.3. Do one of the following:

To Replace the RTDa. Disconnect the ground lead from the manifold and remove the cordset.b. Install a new cordset and insert the RTD in the manifold.c. Reconnect the ground lead to the manifold.

To Replace the Heatera. If necessary, trim the leads of the new heater to match the leads of the old heater.b. Crimp eyelets (P/N 972862) onto the end of the heater.c. Insert the heater into the manifold.d. Insert the heater leads in the terminal block and tighten the terminal block screws.e. Insert the cordset heater leads in the terminal block and tighten the terminal block

screws.4. Reinstall the applicator cover. Refer to Replacing the Plastic Heater Cover (SlimLine

Applicators Only) as needed.5. If the hose was removed earlier, use two wrenches to connect the hose to the applicator.6. Plug the applicator cordset into the hose.7. Restore the system to normal operation.
