The use of the valve with adhesives, glues or general uids must be respect the following basic rules.
Before use a specic type of uid check that:
• The uid viscosity is compable with the features of the valve
• The characteriscs of the uid meet the desired requirements
• The datasheet of the uid provided by the manufacturer includes all the informaons about the uid
such as: viscosity, applicaons, gluing me (for glues or adhesives) and storage
• The storage me of the uid has not been exceeded
• The uid has not been exposed to temperatures near or below than zero therefore it has deteriorated
• The packaging of the uid are sealed
For the use of special adhesives, glues or uids we recommend to contact the Zator company to verify
the compability of the applicaon.
Before use a dierent type of uid clean accurately the valve to avoid possible contaminaon of the new
uid.
When used water-based adhesives of glues they are easily removable with water in their liquid state.
However, when they harden is more dicult to remove it. For this reason, before long stop it is
recommended to wash accurately the valve. Please refer to the maintenance program shown in this
manual.

USER AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
20 ELECTROMAGNETIC VALVE DLK22LT-LC
The electromagnec valve DLK22LT - DLK22LC has been
designed and realized for its use on various kind of producon
machines operang at high speed: its design and versality
make it ideal for any applicaons that require the use of
dispensing valves.
It’s an high-speed dispenser of low and medium viscosity
glues, adhesives and uids (max 2500 mPas).
It can be dispense glue dots or glue lines. It is controlled
by a Zator’s microprocessor control or by an instrument of
external control aer tesng and approval of Zator company.
Full stainless steel valve and zero cavity long nozzle with
tungsten carbide p (LT) for abrasive uids, or with an-
abrasive ceramic p (LC) for “contact” applicaon. The
valve is also equipped with needle with ceramic ball and
micrometric adjustment which allows a ne control of the
