Vedere il Certificato di Decontaminazione fornito con il vostro apparecchio. 1. pulizia Prima di pulire il vostro apparecchio, disconnettere sempre la presa di alimentazione e lasciare raffreddare sotto i 50° C. Questo apparecchio può essere pulito passando un panno inumidito con sapone. Si deve prestare attenzione onde prevenire l’ingresso dell’acqua all’interno dell’apparecchio.
WarnIng Poor fluidisation causes hot spots, heater failure, and damage to other parts. Follow instruction book carefully. For correct fluidisation, pay attention to; InStallatIOn Ensure bath is level and air supply is adequate. OperatIOn Adjust air valve for even fluidisation. Do not insert objects larger than recommended.
The combination of excellent heat transfer characteristics and high heat capacity are ideal for attaining rapid stabilisation at an isothermal condition. Techne industrial fluidised baths use aluminium oxide as the fluidising medium. They have been designed to remove plastic residue from extruder and moulding machine tools, paint build up from paint fixtures, and carry out various heat treatment processes.
Seite 21
During operation the correct fluidising air flow must be determined by visually inspecting the surface of the fluidised bath. When the fluidised bath is heated the air within the bath expands; it is therefore necessary to decrease the amount of air supplied to the bath during the heat up period to ensure that the bath is correctly fluidised at all times.

InStallatIOn Mount the fluidised bath in the position where it is to be used. It is important to ensure that the bath is level, otherwise it will fluidise incorrectly. This will lead to the formation of large temperature gradients across the bath which results in premature heater failure and possible damage to the porous plate and inner container assemblies.

Recommended Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) are available in publications such as the Health and Safety Executives Guidance Note EH15/76 in the UK, a copy of which is available from Techne on request.
Fume Ignition Spontaneous ignition may occur above the surface of the fluidised bath or within the exhaust ductwork if the concentration exceeds the lower explosive limit. The fume concentration is dependent upon the rate of fume production in the fluidised bath and the level of dilution achieved by entraining air from above the bath or through the dilution tee.
The exact combination of fume treatment components required depends upon the application and local conditions. Technical staff are available to discuss particular applications and offer advice as to which combination is required. Techne are able to offer the following fume treatment equipment: Cyclone Scrubber...
OperatIOn To set the temperature controller to the required operating temperature, switch on the electrical supply which will illuminate the power and cut-out indicators. Then set the required temperature, either by using the thumbwheel on the Eurotherm 101 or the up and down arrows on the Eurotherm 807. Depress the reset switch to initiate the system and extinguish the cut-out indicator.
Special operating procedures for use when removing plastic residue The industrial fluidised bath detailed in this manual is suitable for “burning off” plastic residue from plastic machine tools, and is effective on the full range of polymers. In addition, the bath is also effective on rubber, epoxy resins and various paints.
Seite 30
The following table details recommended operating temperatures for particular polymers. The temperatures quoted should be used as an initial guide. The ideal operating temperature will vary depending on the size of the components being cleaned and the amount of material being removed. In general temperatures below 400°C should be avoided to obviate the danger of the polymer melting and sinking to the bottom of the bath where it may block the porous plate.
MaIntenanCe The aluminium oxide fluidising medium, not being degradable, will only require replacement when losses occur due to attrition and spillage, or contamination with inert pigments, fillers or acidic by products from the cleaning process. Fluidising medium lost through entrainment in the exhaust may be collected in a cyclone trap.
Seite 32
Consequently, fluidised beds used for burning off PVC require strict supervision to minimise corrosion of the bed its self and of the parts cleaned in it, especially if these are of uncoated steel. The purpose of most of the recommended maintenance procedure is aimed at keeping the bed medium clean and free flowing, and free of gums, acids, agglomerates, partly decomposed plastic, char and larger particles.
Fault FInDIng Any service or repair work should only be carried out by a trained electronic or electro mechanical technicians. Untrained personnel should not attempt to dismantle this equipment. If the cut-out indicator fails to extinguish when the reset switch is depressed, check the temperature of the fluidised bath to determine whether the bath has overheated and operated the temperature cut-out.

Reset the central temperature monitor to a temperature of 200°C which will energise the upper solenoid valve. Adjust the upper valve until the total indicated air flow rate is approximately 160 l/ min. OR iib) For units after Issue/5 (with solid state relay system) Adjust the set point of the automatic air control temperature monitor which is located within the electrical console so that both of the air control solenoid valves are closed.
