Techne IFB-51 Bedienungsanleitung 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. With some large objects it may be desirable to preheat the bath to well above the
operating temperature so that the polymer temperature rapidly moves through the melting phase to the
burning condition.
Excessive operating temperatures should be avoided as they increase the fume concentration above the
bath and may result in the formation of condensed fumes within the extraction system.
