Universal SureWrap Spray Nozzles 1 Universal SureWrap Spray Nozzles WARNING! Allow only personnel with appropriate training and experience to operate or service the equipment. The use of untrained or inexperienced personnel to operate or service the equipment can result in injury, including death, to themselves and others, and damage to the equipment. Description Recommended adhesive pattern of discrete bond points This manual provides setup, operation, troubleshooting, service, and parts information specific to Universal SureWrap nozzles. SureWrap nozzles accurately apply hot melt adhesive filaments to form discrete adhesive masses (discrete bond points) on the elastic strands used for elasticized legs, leg cuffs, and waistbands on baby diapers, training pants, and adult incontinence products. The patented SureWrap nozzle uses an integral-strand guide to stabilize the elastic strand and an angular spray trajectory to maintain performance at high production speeds. Four air openings associated with each adhesive opening dispense four radially tangential air streams, causing the adhesive filament to move in a spiral pattern. The spiraling adhesive filament wraps around each strand, forming discrete adhesive masses with no useful adhesive on the strand between adjacent discrete adhesive masses. These discrete adhesive masses optimize adhesive bonding, minimize adhesive usage, and result in uniform elastic retractive forces. For a more detailed explanation of the recommended use of SureWrap nozzles, refer to Theory of Operation. SureWrap nozzles may be made to order for specific elastic configuration requirements. Nozzles are available in standard nickel plated brass construction with steel inserts to resist wear or all steel versions and are compatible with Universal series modules. NOTE: Refer to Parts for nozzle part numbers. Refer to Nozzle Identification for an explanation of nozzle description codes. Plated brass nozzle with hard steel inserts (standard) NOTE: Refer to the applicator manual for all applicator-related information and procedures. Steel nozzle

2 Universal SureWrap Spray Nozzles Theory of Operation For elastic strand applications using a SureWrap nozzle, Nordson Corporation recommends selecting and adjusting the operating conditions such that the dispensed adhesive filament, which is tangentially impacted by high velocity air streams, forms a spiral pattern that encircles the strand and, after contacting it, wraps around the strand to form discrete adhesive masses (discrete bond points). The following explanation of how discrete adhesive masses are formed is provided to facilitate the selection and adjustment of the operating conditions. The adhesive filament exits the orifice of the SureWrap nozzle at an extrusion speed (melt velocity) that is directly related to the flow rate, viscosity, and orifice size. The velocity of the adhesive filament in the area between the orifice and the elastic strand (the spinning speed) is determined by the melt velocity and the amount of attenuation caused by the high velocity air streams. The spinning speed is directly related to the pre-contact adhesive filament diameter. Since the adhesive filament is moving in a spiral pattern when it contacts the elastic strand, the filament begins to wrap around the strand at the contact point and then begins to stretch and form a section with a thinner diameter until it contacts the strand at a second contact point. Under preferred conditions, the adhesive filament remains connected to the elastic strand at the two contact points and then begins to wrap around the strand at each contact point as a loop. As the thin filament section is wrapping around the strand, it breaks and each half snaps back towards its respective point of contact to form a discrete adhesive mass (discrete bond point). This breaking of the thin adhesive filament occurs because the distance between the first contact point and the second contact point increases as the strand moves toward the nip point due to elongation of the strand. The post-contact adhesive filament diameter and the elongation of the strand together directly contribute to the formation of discrete adhesive masses (discrete bond points). Under the recommended operating conditions, there is preferably no adhesive on the elastic strand between any two discrete adhesive masses. However, it is also acceptable if a broken adhesive filament section does not completely snap back to its respective point of contact but instead forms a small tail of adhesive on the elastic strand extending from the discrete adhesive mass. Because this small tail of adhesive does not bond to the substrate, maximum elastic contraction is still achieved. NOTE: If a SureWrap nozzle is not dispensing the adhesive filament in a spiral pattern or if four discrete adhesive masses (discrete bond points) are not being formed on the elastic strand, the nozzle is not operating as recommended. Refer to Troubleshooting for corrective actions.

Universal SureWrap Spray Nozzles 3 Application Guidelines This section provides installation, setup, and operational information specific to applications using SureWrap nozzles. Parameters These illustrations depict a horizontal elastic strand application and represent only one possible installation configuration. Other installation configurations, including vertical strand application, are also possible. In all cases, these basic principles should be followed for optimum performance. Elastic Guide Rollers Elastic Strands A Web Path B Combining Point Figure 1 Parameters A--B (isometric view) Parameter Description Minimum Value Maximum Value Typical Value A Strand spacing (nozzle) 3 mm (0.12 in.) Refer to Explanation Customer-specific Explanation: The strand spacing maximum value depends on the nozzle width and is equal to the nozzle width minus 5 mm (0.2 in.). B Strand spacing (overall) 50 mm (2 in.) No limit Customer-specific

4 Universal SureWrap Spray Nozzles Parameters (contd) F Elastic guide roller DETAIL A SCALE 1 : 1.5 H G C A Elastic strands E D Web guide roller Figure 2 Parameters C--H, part 1 (side view) Parameter Description Minimum Value Maximum Value Typical Value C Entrance angle of substrate to combining point and/or post-contact surface 20 degrees 70 degrees 30-40 degrees Explanation: This angle is to allow room for the pattern air to dissipate without disturbing the spray quality or adhesive containment to the strands. If this area is too small, the pattern air will deflect off the substrate and push back upwards, reducing the adhesive filament's ability to collect on the strand. D Process open time (distance from nozzle to combining point) 75 mm (3 in.) 150 mm (6 in.) Customer-specific Explanation: Optimal open time is dependant on bond strength and the desired pattern. The optimal position will vary based on what adhesive is used, the flow rate, and the type of bond you are trying to create. E Elastic guide roller position in relation to nozzle ~250 mm (~10 in.) 450 mm (18 in.) Refer to Explanation Explanation: The further the guide roller is positioned away from the nozzle, the less affect misalignment has on the nozzle in terms of strand twisting and/or nozzle wear due to increased friction inthenozzlestrandguide.

Universal SureWrap Spray Nozzles 5 F Elastic guide roller DETAIL A SCALE 1 : 1.5 H G C A Elastic strands E D Web guide roller Figure 3 Parameters C--H, part 2 (side view) Parameter Description Minimum Value Maximum Value Typical Value F Applicator angle to exit strand plane 80 degrees 100 degrees 90 degrees G Elastic entrance angle to nozzle guide 1degree 10 degrees 2 degrees Explanation: The entrance angle determines the amount of deflection the nozzle creates on the elastic strands. The best results are achieved by creating all the deflections before the nozzle and having the strands exiting the nozzle perpendicular to the module or applicator. When correctly set up, the strand makes light contact in the center of the guide notch, reducing friction on the strand and nozzle. Elastic strand merging H (parallelism) to combining surface or substrate Parallel 20 degrees 5 degrees Explanation: By reducing the amount of wrap around the roller or the amount of contact the elastic strands make with the substrate at the combining point, the side-to-side movement of the strands caused by typical side-to-side web movement can be reduced. This helps eliminate overspray conditions and improves pattern consistency.

6 Universal SureWrap Spray Nozzles Parameters (contd) J Web Path I K Figure 4 Parameters I--K (top view) Parameter Description Minimum Value Maximum Value Typical Value Perpendicularity of applicator to I 85 degrees 95 degrees 90 degrees elastic strands Explanation: Too much misalignment of the applicator in relation to the strand movement will create adhesive overspray. Elastic strand movement (side to J -5 degrees 5 degrees 0 degrees side) Explanation: The amount of side-to-side movement is relative to (1) the correct setup of parameter H and (2) how well the web movement is controlled. When a guiding apparatus is used to control the placement of the strands, the alignment of the SureWrap nozzle guide with the guiding apparatusiscritical. Side-to-side strand alignment in K -10 degrees 10 degrees 0 degrees relation to nozzle Explanation: The side-to-side alignment is important for keeping the strand in the center of the guide notch. When correctly set up, the strand makes light contact only in the center of the guide notch, reducing friction on the strand and nozzle wear.

8 Universal SureWrap Spray Nozzles Operational Capability SureWrap nozzles are available in a variety of orifice sizes, including a standard size (0.020 in.) and a high flow size (0.024 in.). Standard nozzles provide adequate performance in the majority of applications and are the default nozzle selection. Larger orifice nozzles are less susceptible to clogging and provide higher flow at lower pressure. Most production environments require a range of flow rates at a fixed material viscosity. Application requirements will determine the selection of nozzles. To aid in nozzle selection, some nozzle capabilities are shown graphically in Figures 5 and 6. Figure 5 0.020-in.

Universal SureWrap Spray Nozzles 19 Cleaning Method Oven (all-steel nozzles only) Table 1 Nozzle Cleaning Methods (contd) Procedure WARNING: Risk of explosion, fire, or toxic vapor release. Depending on the type of adhesive and/or organic solvent used with the nozzles, heating them in an oven can cause a hazardous event. Before using an oven to clean nozzles, consult with the oven manufacturer about the viability of this method and the safety risks. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations. WARNING: Use the oven heating controls to keep the oven at the desired temperature. Do not use an oven that does not have heating controls. WARNING: The heating temperature and time may need to be adjusted based on the oven type, the adhesive type, and the amount of char buildup on the nozzles. Nordson Corporation recommends testing this procedure on discarded nozzles prior to using it on good nozzles. CAUTION: Risk of equipment damage. Remove O-rings before cleaning nozzles in an oven. Failure to do so can cause a chemical reaction that will permanently damage the nozzles. a. Ensuring that O-rings have been removed from the nozzles, place them in an electric oven heated to approximately 385 _C (725 _F). Allow the nozzles to bake for approximately 3-4 hours. b. Turn off the oven and allow the nozzles to cool; then remove the nozzles. WARNING: Risk of fire. Use a heat-proof cloth to clean nozzles. Even cotton can burn in high-temperature conditions. WARNING: Risk of equipment damage. Handle nozzles carefully to avoid denting the orifices, which can degrade the adhesive pattern. c. Wipe the nozzles with a soft cloth and then gently blow air through the nozzle orifices from the mounting side of the nozzle.

20 Universal SureWrap Spray Nozzles Cleaning Nozzles (contd) 3. If there is any remaining char buildup on the nozzles, gently scrape the char from the nozzles. CAUTION! Risk of equipment damage.
