4. Configuració i preparació

4.1 Eines i materials necessaris

• Hilti HIT-RE 500 V3 Adhesive Cartridge
• Hilti Dispenser (e.g., Hilti HDM 500)
• Hilti Mixing Nozzle (supplied with cartridge)
• Drill and appropriate drill bit for hole creation
• Hole cleaning brush
• Compressed air (oil-free)
• Equips de protecció individual (EPI)

4.2 Hole Preparation

1. Forat: Drill a hole of the specified diameter and depth into the base material (concrete or masonry) according to project requirements and Hilti technical data.
2. Clean Hole: Thoroughly clean the drilled hole using a stiff brush and compressed air. Repeat the brushing and blowing process at least twice until no dust or debris is visible. Proper cleaning is crucial for optimal bond strength.
3. Comprovar la temperatura: Ensure the base material temperature is within the recommended range for application and curing.

4.3 Preparació del cartutx

1. Inseriu el cartutx: Place the HIT-RE 500 V3 cartridge into the appropriate Hilti dispenser.
2. Attach Mixing Nozzle: Screw the static mixing nozzle firmly onto the cartridge. Do not modify the nozzle.
3. Discard Initial Dispense: Before applying the adhesive into the prepared hole, dispense a small amount (approximately 3-4 trigger pulls) onto a piece of cardboard or waste material until the adhesive color is uniform and consistent. This ensures proper mixing of the two components.

5. Operating (Application)

5.1 Adhesive Injection

1. Inject from Bottom: Insert the mixing nozzle to the bottom of the cleaned drill hole.
2. Omplir forat: Begin injecting the adhesive while slowly withdrawing the nozzle. Ensure the hole is filled from the bottom up, avoiding air voids. Fill the hole approximately 2/3 full.
3. Temps de treball: Observe the specified working time (open time) for the adhesive, which varies with temperature. Insert the anchor element within this time frame.

5.2 Anchor Element Insertion

1. Insereix àncora: Immediately after injecting the adhesive, insert the anchor element (e.g., rebar, threaded rod) into the filled hole with a slight twisting motion to ensure full encapsulation and removal of any air bubbles.
2. Posicionament: Ensure the anchor element is correctly positioned before the working time expires. Do not disturb the anchor during the curing process.

5.3 Curat

The adhesive requires a specific curing time before it reaches its full strength. Curing time is dependent on the ambient and base material temperature. Refer to Hilti technical data for precise curing times. Do not apply load to the anchor until the full curing time has elapsed.

6. Manteniment

6.1 Neteja del dispensador

After use, clean the dispenser thoroughly. Remove any excess adhesive from the dispenser body. Do not allow adhesive to cure inside the dispenser mechanism.

6.2 Emmagatzematge de cartutxos

Unused cartridges with an attached mixing nozzle can be stored for a limited period. To store, leave the used mixing nozzle attached to the cartridge. When ready to reuse, remove the old nozzle, attach a new one, and discard the initial dispense as described in Section 4.3.

7. Solució De Problemes

• Adhesive Not Mixing Properly (Inconsistent Color):

  Ensure the mixing nozzle is correctly attached and that sufficient initial adhesive has been dispensed to achieve a uniform color. If the issue persists, replace the mixing nozzle.
• Adhesive Not Curing:

  Verify that the ambient and base material temperatures are within the recommended range. Ensure proper mixing occurred (uniform color). Check the product's expiration date. If the product is expired or improperly mixed, it may not cure.

• Poor Bond Strength:

  This is often due to inadequate hole cleaning. Ensure the hole is thoroughly brushed and blown free of dust and debris. Also, verify that the anchor element was inserted within the working time and not disturbed during curing.

• Dificultat de dispensació:

  Check if the cartridge is correctly seated in the dispenser. Ensure the mixing nozzle is not clogged. If the adhesive is too cold, allow it to warm up to the recommended application temperature.
