Definition of Terms
Application materials can be e.g. thermoplastic hot melt materials, adhe
sives, sealants, liquid adhesives and similar application materials. They are
referred to as materials.
NOTE: The materials that may be processed with your Nordson product are
described in the manual under Intended Use and Unintended Use. When in
doubt, please contact your Nordson representative.
Manufacturer Information
Materials may be processed only when the manufacturer's product descrip
tions and Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are observed.
They provide information, amongst other things, on correct processing of the
product, transport, storage and disposal. Information regarding reactivity and
potentially hazardous decomposition products, toxic properties, flash points,
etc. can also be found there.
Liability
Nordson is not be liable for danger or damage resulting from the materials.
Risk of Burns
There is a risk of burns when handling heated materials. Work carefully and
wear appropriate protective clothing/equipment.
Substrate
The substrate should be free of dust, grease and moisture. The suitable ma
terial, optimum working conditions, and possible pre‐treatment of the sub
strate must be determined by testing.
Processing Temperature
When materials require heating, adherence to the prescribed processing
temperature is imperative to ensure the quality of the application. It may not
be exceeded! Overheating can cause material coking or cracking, resulting in
malfunctioning or unit failure.
Material should always be melted gently. Extended, unnecessary tempera
ture load should be avoided. The temperature should be reduced during
breaks in work. The temperature in the tank should be attuned to the material
consumption. Thus it is close to the prescribed processing temperature for
high material consumption and lower for lower consumption.
When materials are processed cold, take into consideration the shear heat
and the ambient temperature; cool if necessary.

The LA 300 series piston pumps - subsequently also referred to as pumps -
have been specially designed for the application of water‐based adhesives.
Any other use is considered to be unintended. Nordson will not be liable for
personal injury and/or property damage resulting from unintended use.
Intended use includes the observance of Nordson safety instructions.
Nordson recommends obtaining detailed information on the materials to be
used.
The product described here is to be operated, serviced and maintained only
by persons who are familiar with the product and who have been informed of
the potential hazards.
The applicable rules for the prevention of accidents as well as any other
generally recognized safety regulations and occupational health regulations
are to be observed.
The manufacturer is by no means liable for any damage resulting from

Safety Instructions
Prior to installation and startup of the system, it is essential to read and follow
the safety instructions!
The general safety instructions are enclosed as an annex to the
documentation folder or they are a section of this manual.
The specific safety instructions are part of this manual.
Residual Risks
In the design of the unit, every measure was taken to protect personnel from
potential danger. However, some residual risks cannot be avoided.
Personnel should be aware of the following:
Disposal
Devices and materials used during operation and maintenance must be
disposed of according to the applicable laws.
Function
The following figure illustrates the basic method of operation of a piston
pump within a complete system.
Adhesive is to be applied to a substrate (7). The transport belts (8) convey
the substrates. When the leading edge of a substrate reaches the photo cell
(10), the beam of light sent is reflected and the program is started. The
controller compiles all the data according to the speed of the production
machine. The encoder (4) is mechanically connected to the transport
equipment via a gear and supplies one pulse per mm. The control unit
evaluates all the data and establishes the point at which the applicators (5)
must be activated.
The piston pump (12) is connected to the compressed air supply (1). It
operates continuously and pumps the adhesive from the adhesive reservoir
(11) to the applicators.
A current between 0‐20 mA is supplied from the control unit (3) to the
proportional pressure control valve (2). The strength of the current is
dependent on the speed of the production machine. The strength of the
current determines how far the proportional pressure control valve should be
opened and the adhesive pressure regulator (9) opens accordingly. The
adhesive flows to the applicators and is applied to the substrate. The length
of the application is defined by the controller’s program.

Installation
ATTENTION: Allow only qualified personnel to perform the following tasks.
Observe and follow the safety instructions in this document and all other
related documentation.
Unpacking
The pump is fully assembled at the factory. Unpack the equipment carefully
to prevent damage. After unpacking the pump, check for signs of damage
which may have occurred during transport. Check that all screws are tight.
Notify Nordson in the case of any damage.
Transport
The pump is a high precision, valuable part. Handle very carefully!
Storage
Do not store outside! Protect from humidity and dust.
Disposal
When your Nordson product has exhausted its purpose and/or is no longer
needed, dispose of it properly according to local regulations.
Installing
When installing the pump, the following points should be observed in order to
avoid unnecessary work later.
Protect from humidity, vibrations, dust and drafts.
Ensure access to parts relevant for maintenance and operation.
During assembly, ensure that the distance between the piston pump or
proportional pressure control valve and the adhesive pressure regulator
is as small as possible in order to achieve optimum operation.
When installing, ensure that air and adhesive hoses cannot be bent,
pinched, torn off or otherwise damaged.
Connect
The connections used are described in the following.
1. Remove the plastic cap from the air inlet (1) and connect the pump to the
compressed air supply.
2. Insert the adhesive suction hose (3) from the pump into the adhesive
container.
3. Remove the plastic cap from the outlet of the pressure relief valve (4).
Connect a flush/return hose to the outlet and feed the hose back to the
adhesive container.
4. Remove the plastic cap from the adhesive outlet of the filter (5) and
connect the adhesive outlet to the adhesive pressure regulator.
Operation
Initial Startup
Check that all the connections have been made properly.
1. Remove the plug from the oil filling hole (2, Fig. 7) incl. label.
3. Shut off the compressed air supply on the piston pump (12, Fig. 1).
4. Open the piston pump compressed air regulator slightly to supply the
system with compressed air slowly.
5. Regulate the compressed air on the piston pump so that the adhesive
pressure at the adhesive pressure regulator inlet is always greater than
the required adhesive pressure at the adhesive pressure regulator outlet
(working pressure of the adhesive).
6. NOTE: Activate (spray) all the applicators connected to the adhesive
pressure regulator until adhesive flows smoothly and without any air
bubbles.
NOTE: To vent the system more efficiently, remove the nozzles or nozzle
plates first of all and replace them, as necessary, later.
7. Position the substrate under the applicator, carry out a test adhesive
application and check the adhesive bead. If the bead is too thin, increase
the pressure on the piston pump.
CAUTION: Do not exceed the required pressure for feeding the adhesive.
Excessive pressure can change the adhesive’s properties.
Operation (contd.)
Daily Startup
1. Check the level in the adhesive reservoir.
2. Activate the compressed air supply to the piston pump.
Daily Shutdown
1. Block the compressed air supply to the piston pump.
Maintenance
