P12

The proper handling of perchlorethylene is an important prerequisite for workplace safety.

Note the following potential hazards:

TETRACHLORETHENE (perc) is a very good grease remover; it also removes natural oils from unprotected skin.

Protection: Wear solvent-resistant protective gloves, apply skin cream with oil to the hands.

Liquid TETRACHLORETHENE (perc) is a strong irritant to the eyes.

Protection: Wear protective goggles.

Inhalation of TETRACHLORETHENE (perc) vapors reduces alcohol tolerance.

Protection: Do not consume alcohol while working or for a short time after.

TETRACHLORETHENE (perc) decomposes in the presence of an open flame or red-hot parts.

Protection: No smoking.

TETRACHLORETHENE (perc) vapors irritate the mucous membranes of the respiratory passage and eyes.

Protection: Prevent vapors from escaping and wear respiratory equipment when performing extensive maintenance work (DIN 3181 gas filter, brown).

Caution: It is possible to smell perc (odor threshold) in concentrations as low as

of air.

TETRACHLORETHENE (perc) affects the central nervous system similar to an anesthetic and can result in unconsciousness and, in very high concentrations, even in

death.

6.1.10 Still (Electrically Heated)

If your machine has electrically heated distillation, you must first fill the steam chest with water.

Remove screw-in plugs (1) + (4), open aeration valve (2), fill in water up to the overflow, replace screw-in plug (1) so that it seals tightly

(do not use hemp, use only PTFE tape).

Start "Still maintenance" (P36). Wait approximately 15 minutes until steam comes out of the aeration valve (2). Then close the aeration valve. Screw in the screw-in plug (4) again. Stop P36.

707757-12-0

If the system is correctly aerated, the operating pressure will be 2.5 - 3.5 bar.

Switching pressure on the pressure control switch: ON 5.2 bar OFF 5.6 bar

With proper aeration and sealing, the pressure gauge (3) shows underpressure of approximately

-0.5 bar when the system is cold.

This is an important prerequisite for proper operation (good distillation performance)

Attention: With the electrically heated version, a permanent 2-bath procedure is not possible

because of the reduction in performance!

P12

6.1.11 Opening the Loading Door

Never leave the loading door standing open!

Before each start, make sure that the loading door is closed.

During longer standstills, concentrations of the solvent gas can form.

For this reason, the machine control system has been designed to lock the loading door after a standstill of 1 minute.

You can unlock the door with the " ⇑ " button for up to 9 minutes.

After 10 minutes, you cannot open the loading door until after you have started the "DEODORIZING" program (P34) and the horn has stopped sounding.

Attention: When neither current nor compressed air is present or

when the program has been interrupted, a mechanical

EMERGENCY opening is possible.

Caution

The trained user is permitted to carry out an EMERGENCY opening only when the program has stopped and the cage is not turning. Open the button trap cover before the emergency opening.

After removing garments that have not finished drying, place them in a solvent-tight and solvent-resistant transport container.

Follow safety regulations (wear protective gloves, room ventilation, etc.).

Emergency release

7.1 Tanks 7.1

The work tank contains solvent, which is used over and over. The solvent is pumped from the work tank to the cage. If there is not enough solvent in the work tank, fresh solvent is taken from the clean tank.

After the garments have been cleaned, the solvent is pumped back to the work tank or to the distillation system. Machines without a detergent solution cooler have a water-cooled tank cooler built into the work tank.

The clean tank holds clean solvent that has been recovered from the distillation and drying processes.

When the clean tank overflows, it fills up the work tank again.

A sacrificial anode in the clean tank protects against corrosion.

Tank 3 (optional equipment) is an extra tank for special applications.

7.3 Solvent Cooling System (Optional Equipment)

Then the detergent solution temperature is monitored while the program runs.

Press function key "F4" to display the detergent solution temperature.

7.4 Work Tank Cooling System

7.3

The detergent solution cooler works over a heat exchanger that is cooled with a cooling agent.

The cooling of the solvent is set to 15 °C (50 °F) in gentle programs.

The cooling is controlled over a thermal sensor at the heat exchanger inlet.

During each bath with detergent solution cooling, the program remains stopped (the cage does not move) before pumping up until the selected detergent solution temperature has been reached.

7.4

Machines without detergent solution cooling always have a water-cooled cooling coil built into the work tank.

7.5 Economy Filter for Solvent 7.5

Economy filter 1 (economy filter 2 is optional equipment)

The economy filter is a filter without a precoating (without filter powder).

Perform filter maintenance when the filter pressure is 1.5 bar or after a maximum of 50 cycles.

You can also use the economy filter with filter powder.

Before starting the filter maintenance program P10 (or P35 for filter 2), place the required amount of filter powder (1.2 kg/2.6 lb) into a bag in the cage.

Attention! Do not use filter powder on machines with an emission-free still rakeout system.

After you start the filter maintenance program, all necessary processes will be carried out completely automatically (draining, spinning, rinsing, precoating, cage drying with reduction).

A signal sounds after the reduction.

After you have removed the empty bag from the machine, the machine is ready for use again.

P12

7.6 Cartridge Adsorption Filter

(Optional equipment /USA standard)

Cartridge adsorption filter 1 (cartridge adsorption filter 2 is optional equipment)

The reason for using both the economy filter and the cartridge adsorption filter on one machine is that this provides separate filtration of pigment dirt and soluble dirt (fatty acids, dyes).

The insoluble pigment dirt is separated with the help of the extraction filter and the soluble dirt is adsorbed on the cartridge.

If the solvent discolors during the cycle, it is possible to manually activate the cartridge filter (7) in the filter circuit after the economy filter (6).

703867-11-A

Steps for activating the cartridge filter:

- Open ball valves (2) and (3)

- Close ball valve (1)

If you want to remove the filter from the solvent circuit again and use only the economy filter, make the following setting by hand:

- Open ball valve (1)

- Close ball valves (2) and (3)

P12

7.7

The cage has dynamically channeled holes for optimum airflow during drying.

7.8

The cage drive is an adjustable V-belt drive with 3 V-belts.

Button 7.9

The button trap strainer catches large impurities (such as buttons, etc.) and lint from the detergent solution. Never operate the system without the button trap strainer! (Risk of damaging the solvent pump).

During the drying, a flow of air dries the dirty lint in the button trap mat.

7.10

The computer control system sets the low level in a time-controlled process.

A capacitive sensor controls the high level.

7.11

The lint filter catches the lint that is carried along in the airflow. The lint filter is in the button trap housing.

Never operate the system without the lint filter! Never use a damaged lint filter! Make sure that the lint filter sits firmly in place.

(Risk of lint on the cooling register)

7.12

The refrigeration unit is integrated with the cooler and pre-heater in the airshaft.

7.12.1 Refrigeration Unit

Refrigeration technology is used to cool the air cooler in the airshaft and, in special cases

(optional equipment), for cooling the solvent.

The low aftercooler temperature of the air cooler reduces the solvent residue concentration in the cage and the solvent emissions.

The heated gas that arises in the cooling compressor (heat pump principle) is led through the preheater. The energy consumed for drying is considerably reduced because the thermal energy is fed back in.

The air cooler is specially coated to protect against corrosion.

P12

The cool-down is the process of guiding the air that was cooled in the airshaft in such a way that it avoids the pre-heater and the heater battery.

There is a flap built into the airshaft for turning the air. Consequently, in machines with an adsorption unit, cold air is directed over the carbon, which increases the useful life of the carbon.

In machines without Slimsorba, the cooled air is guided around the pre-heater and heater battery via a bypass line to the cage. This results in garments that are relatively cool and easy to iron.

7.14 Drying Controller (Volumendrystat)

The drying controller is in the solvent drain line from the airshaft to the water separator.

During the drying process, the recovered solvent cools a sensor.

The drying process continues to run until the specified sensor temperature has been reached.

703888-12-0

P12

Loading Venting 7.15

When the loading door is opened, the machine fan starts to run (on machines with Slimsorba, only the

Slimsorba fan). This fan prevents air that contains solvent from entering the area of the machine operator during loading and unloading of the machine. The air that is drawn out of the cage is directed over the air cooler before it leaves the machine. The cage is vented for 2 minutes, after which the horn sounds to remind the operator to close the loading door soon.

On machines with integrated Slimsorba, the air drawn off is directed over the Slimsorba carbon bed after the air cooler.

7.16

The distillation unit consists of a still with ascending pipe and condenser.

The still is steam or electrically heated and equipped with an overfill preventer (optional equipment) and still rinser. The still and the sight-glass are rinsed each time the still is pumped out. Use 13E to turn the distillation heater on and off.

For information on still stripping and maintenance, see Point 11.

7.16.1 Overfill Preventer in Still (Optional Equipment)

A built-in sensor interrupts the pumping in process when the upper edge of the view-glass has been reached. The horn sounds and the diagnostic message E 6425 is displayed. Delete the diagnostic message with the "C" button. The display shows "par 21". Push the "START" button to pump excess solvent to Tank I. The program continues.

7.17 Emission-Free Still Rake Out System 7.17

Emission-free still rake out is only possible with the economy filter if no filter powder is precoated.

With each distillation pump out process, the sludge pump pumps out the entire contents of the still.

Use maintenance program P36 for the emission-free still rake out.

P12

7.18

The distillation and recovery rates can be observed at the water separator inlet.

The water phase from the water separator flows continuously to the process water tank or safety separator (optional equipment) and the solvent flows to the clean tank.

7.19

The unit automatically doses chemical additives from the supply pack:

- In each cycle

- At the right time

- In the right amount.

The dosing amount is based on the information provided by the manufacturer of the product.

Use only products that remain liquid at room temperature.

Do not operate the unit when it is dry (that is, not filled).

Before longer standstills and when changing products, rinse out the unit with solvent.

707757-03-0

SPP 7.20

The Spraymatic SPP is a device for finishing and waterproofing garments in the drycleaning machine.

The Spraymatic SPP sprays pure finishing chemicals, which means that it does not mix them with solvent.

Two fixed programs are available for waterproofing.

You may also make changes or create your own programs.

Before longer standstills and when changing products, rinse out the unit with solvent.

Refer to the SPRAYMATIC SPP Operating Instructions for more information.

P12

7.21 Slimsorba Adsorption Unit 7.21

The Slimsorba is a multiple-cycle adsorption unit for reducing the perc solvent residue in the cage at the end of the cycle.

The Slimsorba is integrated into the machine and all functional sequences run completely automatically over the computer control system on the drycleaning machine.

Because desorption takes place in parallel with a regular cleaning cycle, it requires only slightly more time. The Slimsorba is desorbed with hot air. Attention: There is a risk of burns from parts that are not insulated.

The Slimsorba is heated with steam or electrically with a separate steam generator (6kW).

The main components of the Slimsorba are:

- Carbon container with carbon filling for adsorption

(activated carbon must be filled in when the machine is commissioned) and auxiliary heater battery to support the desorption

- Heater battery for hot air desorption

- Fan

- Sensors

- Connecting pipes for moving the airflow for temperature monitoring to the drycleaning machine

The drycleaner has three desorption options:

Parallel desorption during the cycle:

When the display reads "DESORB = 1" because the number of cycles entered in the specification code as a fixed value has been reached (set to 30 at the factory for steam heated and 25 for electrically heated).

Start the parallel desorption with "E" or "1".

Parallel desorption during the cycle:

By entering 16E, you can choose at any time to perform the parallel desorption process with the next cycle.

Example:

Explanation:

16E

start

DESORB=1

Program "P2" and the parallel Slimsorba desorption start.

Select the required program, such as P2

Desorption outside of the cycle by selecting maintenance program P41.

For points 1 and 2, the fact that it is time for desorption is automatically shown on the display. It is shown as the remark "DESORB = 1".

Desorption takes place in parallel with a regular cleaning cycle. Only a little extra time is required for this cycle because approximately 80% of the time needed for the desorption runs in parallel with the cleaning cycle. If possible, you should not clean garments that are especially sensitive to mechanical stress with the desorption cycle.

Desorption is performed with hot air in an environmentally acceptable way. It does not result in any process water that needs to be disposed of.

Recommendation: After completing the cycle with parallel desorption, you should remove the lint filter and clean it.

P12

The drycleaning machine cage venting runs over the Slimsorba when the loading door is open.

7.22

The machine and the distillation system stand in a common solvent safety trough.

The safety trough prevents any liquid solvent that may possibly escape from getting into the ground.

Sequence for the rest of the work:

- Open ball valve (4), drain filter sufficiently (over night or weekend)

The filter vents automatically over ball valve (5).

(On the next day) Check whether the ball valve (4) is still open, loosen the tension clip on the filter housing and open the housing (7)

Unscrew the thumb screw and replace the cartridge (if necessary, replace the sealing disc) and

- tighten the thumb screw again

Check that the housing gasket sits correctly (replace gasket if necessary).

Close the housing, mount the tension clip and then close ball valve (4) on the filter drain.

- Check the filter for leaks.

Fill the cartridge filter with solvent during the next cycle.

Do this by closing ball valve (1) and opening ball valves (2) and (3).

Then either run the filtration over the cartridge filter to the end or separate the cartridge filter from the economy filter again.

Dispose of used filter cartridges as special waste in a way that avoids emissions!

11.5.6 Distillation Maintenance

You must strip the still at the end of each workday.

Caution

Attention: Because of the hot surfaces, there is a burn hazard on the

condenser and still (sight-glass, distillation opening).

Sequence of the maintenance work:

- If you cannot see any flowing solvent condensate in the water separator sight-glass, start

distillation maintenance program P36.

- Press the STOP button when the horn sounds at the end of the program.

On machines with an emission-free still rake out system, the distillation residue was automatically pumped into the disposal vessel. The maintenance is complete.

On machines without an emission-free still rake out system, you must perform additional maintenance work.

P12

Attention: Perform maintenance work only when the machine has

been turned off and when the distillation blow-out is cold.

Check the liquid level before opening the still door.

Open the door carefully.

Additional maintenance work steps:

Let the still cool off (preferably over night)

The next morning, hang the clean-out trough on to the still.

Open the door of the still and rake out the distillation residues

Clean the overfill preventer probe

Close the door of the still tightly

Attention: Do not drain distillation residues into the sewer system

or put into the normal garbage.

You must dispose of the residues as special waste.

Put neutralization agent into the still.

When necessary, you must also perform maintenance work on machines with an emission-free still rake out system with the still door open (lint balls, caked-on dirt).

Sequence for maintenance work:

Select P36 and press the START button

The number 8 appears in the display; now enter 0 and press E

Restart (distillation program starts running without rinsing)

When the horn sounds at the end of the program, press the STOP button

Let the still cool over night

Now perform the maintenance work that is described under "Additional maintenance work

steps”.

P12

Maintenance program P36 with emission-free still rake out:

If you have an economy filter, you can only perform the emission-free still rake out if you have not precoated with filter powder.

With each distillation pump out process, the sludge pump pumps out the entire contents of the still.

The number 08 appears in the display when the maintenance program P36 starts.

After you press the START button again, the emission-free still rake out proceeds as follows:

The residues are heated up.

After a predefined temperature has been reached, valve 142 opens and the sludge pump pumps out the residues.

After the predefined pump-out time has completed, valve 142 closes and valves 143 and 143/1 open.

The sludge pump moves the residues from the still into the disposal vessel.

The solvent-carrying air that is forced out of the vessel is directed back into the still through valve

143/1 (gas displacement line).

Then the sludge pump, nozzle and pipelines are rinsed with solvent.

The last step of the still maintenance is drying the cage and reduction or adsorption (on machines with Slimsorba).

When the liquid level in the disposal vessel reaches the sensor-controlled overfill preventer, the sludge pump stops automatically and all valves of the still rake out system close.

The alarm display "E 0315" appears and the signal sounds. After you delete the signal by pressing "C", replace the full disposal vessel with an empty one.

Then you can start the maintenance program P36 and continue with the emission-free still rake out.

Remarks on distillation:

703867-10-B

Fill the still only up to the lower edge of the sight-glass.

When solvent containing water is distilled, the distillate becomes slightly cloudy as a result of the water traces.

The distillation performance is reduced if you do not remove distillation residues from the still daily. This also increases the risk of boiling over and increases the solvent consumption.

When operating with economic filters without filter powder, the distillation residue is liquid.

This means that there will not be an increase in the consumption of solvent involved if the distillation equipment is used correctly.

If the detergent solution foams or boils over, you can use a defoamer.

Use approximately 0.1 % of the filling quantity.

If the distillation unit boils over, empty and clean the water separator (if necessary, distill the contents of the clean tank). The distillation process cleans the condenser automatically.

P12

11.5.7 Disposal Vessel with Overfill Sensor (Optional Equipment)

You must check the function of the overfill sensor once a week.

Sequence of the check:

Loosen the 2" screwed union

Lift the ventilation pipeline

The light-emitting diode (LED) on the probe is green

Now touch the probe at the tip (3 - 5 cm/1.2 – 2 inches); the color of the LED must change from

green to red.

- The probe is in order

- Firmly tighten the 2" screwed union again

12 Solvent Inspection and Care 12

The most important factor in solvent inspection and care is the use of high-quality perc and suitable chemical additives. The drycleaning detergent, in particular, should contain solvent-stabilizing components.

The pH value is an important indicator for the quality of the solvent. In a well-run operation, the value should be determined once a month as a matter of course.

Solvent care is an essential factor in the reliability and long-life of the machine and in the quality of the cleaning that the garments receive. It includes routine maintenance of the still and water separator and the use of quality products.

Because of the small amount of solvent used, we recommend that you add neutralizing, acid-binding adsorbents to the still as preventive neutralization.

-Determining the pH value:

Remove a few cm 3 of water from the water separator/safety separator and place in a test tube.

Then dip the indicator paper into the water and determine the pH value by using the comparison

scale.

It is not possible to measure the solvent directly. pH value Reaction Measure

Under 5 Solvent highly acidic

5 - 6 Solvent slightly acidic

7 - 9

Over 9

Good solvent condition

Solvent alkaline

Replace solvent

Neutralize solvent

Determine the cause and correct

Possible causes of an acidic reaction:

- Instable

Steam temperature too high (solvent decomposition with acid formation)

Unwanted addition of acids

- Incorrect

- Bad quality of the solvent - new garments

Possible causes of alkaline reaction:

Highly alkaline pre-spotter or chemical additives

(nitrogen compounds, ammonia)

Garments containing a high level of sweat.
