Magnum Venus Plastech Flex Molding Process IVX3 INJECTION VALVE 8010 - Manual (Page 15)

IVx3 Injection Valve Manual
Rev. 03/2012 Page | 15
Introduction:
The IVX3 was designed specifically as part of the Flex Molding process to streamline
the infusion process by reducing the number of valves needed. The IVX3 is a
pneumatically activated three position valve
– Inject, Off and Purge. The IVX3 is
compatible with the MVP universal mold insert and suitable for use in other closed mold
applications such as RTM Light.
When used in conjunction with the PPVS vacuum control valve the IVX3 can automate
the infusion process whether used with a single resin channel or multiple resin channel
configuration.
NOTE: It is important to have the correct parts drawing for the item you are
working on. This will assist in identifying the correct part numbers for the
assembly being rebuilt.
The reassembly will require the use of removable Loctite® or equivalent thread lock
compound. Use Super O Lube (SUPERLUBE) or MOLYKOTE 111 grease for the
actuator O-rings. Use Red Grease (6706-2-1 1oz) or Magnum Gun Lube (GL-200 2oz)
for the Fluid Valve.
NOTE: Before starting any service work, release fluid and air pressure from
system.
NOTE: The IVX3 valve is closed in its non-actuated position and therefore can
trap pressure not exhausted from the fluid ports. Take care when removing lines
connected to the ports or when actuating the valve.
Please read the manual carefully. Follow the steps in the order given, otherwise you
may damage the equipment or injure yourself.
During Disassembly . . .
As you disassemble the equipment, lay out the components in the correct order and
direction, and have all component drawings available to refer to prior to disassembly.
