USER MANUAL Spartan RTM Injection System

Introduction Before operating, maintaining or servicing any GlasCraft system, read and understand all of the technical and safety literature provided with GlasCraft products. If you do not have the proper or related manuals and safety literature for your GlasCraft system, contact your GlasCraft distributor or GlasCraft,Inc. In this GlasCraft technical and safety publication, the following advisories will be provided where appropriate: The information in this document is intended only to indicate the components and their normal working relationship typical use. Each assembly should be directed...

Sec1:4 Section 1- Installation: Equipment Assembly 8. Attach the catalyst jug bracket to the mast. 9. Attach the green material hose to the pick-up tube and insert the tube into a bucket of clean solvent. Recirculation hose from the gun. SOLVENT CONTAINER 10. Attach the green material hose to the material pump. SOLVENT/WASTE CONTAINER 11. Insert the end of the recirculation hose into a waste container.

Section 1 - Installation: Equipment Assembly Sec1:4 12. Make sure solvent regulator is dialed to zero. (Turn knob fully counter-clockwise) 17. Replace yellow guard using a 5/32” hex balldriver. 13. Carefully relieve any pressure in the solvent tank by slowly pulling the relief valve. 14. After all the pressure is released from the tank, open the lid and fill the tank with a suitible, clean flushing solvent and close the lid securely. 18. Before operating the material pump, flush thoroughly with a clean, suitible solvent to remove test fluid. 15. Remove yellow guard using a 5/32” hex balldriver....

Section 2 - Operation: Start-up Instructions Sec2:1 Start-up Instructions The following instructions are to be used as a guide for consistent and continual operation. Any deviation from the “ standard operation”, usually requires more maintenance to the equipment and material formulation to assure consistent results. For example: the use of fillers in resins. Solvent 3-way valve Before initial operation of any internal mix system, make certain the solvent flush set-up is fully operational. 1. Turn solvent regulator clockwise to approximately 65 psi. 3. Exhaust air through the gun head until traces...

Section 2 - Operation: Start-up Instructions 5. Turn the material injection regulator slowly clockwise Resin until gauge indicates 10 PSI or until pump cycles slowly. 1. Detach the catalyst slave pump from the material pump. Sec2:1 Pull and rotate knob to disengage the catalyst drive arm. Knob 6. Pump should cycle clean solvent through the system and out the recirculation hose. 2. Turn main valve on the gun head to the recirculation 7. End recirculation when solvent appears reasonably position. clean. “OFF” ← → RECIRCULATION ON OFF 3. Turn the material air regulator fully counter-clockwise. 8....

Section 2 - Operation: Start-up Instructions 10. When solvent has stopped exiting the recirculation hose, end recirculation. (OFF) RECIRCULATION ON OFF → Sec2:1 → 11. Place material pump pick-up tube in desired con- tainer of material while keeping recirculation return hose in a waste container. Make sure all the air is purged out of the catalyst pump on new start up. 12. Turn machine to recirculation. (ON) ← 2a. Pull and rotate Pivot knob to disengage the catalyst drive arm. RECIRCULATION ON OFF 13. Let material pump cycle slowly until a steady b. Turn the slave pump stream of clean material...

Section 2 - Operation: Start-up Instructions 4. Re-engage the catalyst pivot knob. Make sure that the knob engages inside the catalyst drive arm slot. Failure to do so will cause damage to the catalyst drive arm Recirculation Mode (Start-Up) 1. Both Catalyst Valve and Material Valve on the Dispense Gun should be in the Recirculation position. Sec2:1 → The Recirculation Mode should be used in initial start-up or when air bubbles are observed coming through the ends of the Recirculation Hoses. Injection Instructions ← 1. Switch machine to injection. (set recirculation to off) → RECIRCULATION ON...

Section 2 - Operation: Start-up Instructions CAUTION The valves should only be in the injection position during injection Sec2:1 → 3. Select desired percentage of catalyst and position the catalyst slave pump to that setting. CAUTION 4. Depress air switch button trigger on gun head to dispense mixed material. When making test material dispenses or during flushing operation, make certain that dispensed material and/or solvent is contained in a suitable container and that this material and/or solvent is disposed of properly. 7. Flush gun head thoroughly. Turn 3-way valve on top of the solvent tank...

Section 2 - Operation: Shut Down Instructions 5. Material pump should now be cycled so that shaft is Shut Down Procedure left in down position during shut-down period. Sec2:2 The purpose of the shut down procedure is to verify that all critical parts of the system, i.e., the mixing area, have been checked and cleaned to assure trouble-free start-up the next time the system is to be operated. 1. Turn both ball valves on gun head to “OFF”. (90˚) ↑ 6. If you are using fillers mixed into the resin, remem- ber on periods of shut-down, the fillers can settle to the bottom of the pump and pipe-works....
