WARNING
Failure to remove hose completely could cause damage or injury if system
loses power or air pressure.
2.15.5.
Use two wrenches to remove hoses, as shown in Figure 20, to prevent tubes from
twisting.
2.15.6.
Remove the yellow wire connected to the Separator cap.
2.15.7.
Use the
5
/
8
″ ratchet wrench to remove the high-pressure sanitary clamps from the top
of the Separator Vessel.
2.15.8.
Remove the cap from the top of the Separator Vessel.
2.15.9.
Collect any available oil from the Separator cap.
2.15.10.
Use alcohol to clean the caps and orifice tube.
2.15.11.
Use the supplied round squeegee to push any residual oil from the sides of the
Separators down to the bottom of the Separators.
2.15.12.
Use the
5
/
8
″ ratchet wrench to remove the high-pressure sanitary clamps from the
bottom of the Separator Vessels.
2.15.13.
Bypass the water lines on the collection cup by disconnecting the quick connects on
the collection cup and reconnecting them at the bottom of the Separator. Failure to
reconnect the water lines within 30 seconds will cause the system to shut down.
2.15.14.
Remove the collection cup from the Separator.
2.15.15.
Collect the oil from inside the collection cup.
2.15.15.1. Note: There is typically residual dry ice in the collection cup mixed in with
the oil. The dry ice will sublimate without any additional heat. It is
sometimes more efficient to remove the dry ice/oil mixture and place it in
collection device (like a Pyrex dish).
2.15.16.
Use the round squeegee and alcohol to thoroughly clean the inside of the Separators
and collection cup.
2.15.17.
Both the Separator and the collection cup should be cleaned after each extraction.
2.15.18.
Reassemble the Separator by reversing the steps above. The exception here is the
sanitary clamps. The nuts on the sanitary clamps need to be inspected for thread
wear or damage. The nuts on the sanitary clamps needs to be replaced if they are
worm or damaged and the nuts need to be put back on with a torque wrench at 20 lb.
ft. of torque.
2.15.19.
Reconnect the water lines to the cup before running another extraction to prevent dry
ice buildup or damage to the collection cup cooling jacket.
2.16.
Performing Maintenance Between Runs
2.16.1.
Remove extracted material from Extraction Vessels.
2.16.2.
Thoroughly clean Separation Vessel with alcohol or selected cleaning agent.
2.16.3.
Clean Separator Outlet lines running from Separator 1 and Separator 2 to Separator
3.
2.16.3.1. Disconnect the outlet lines from Separator 1 and Separator 2 and the inlet line on
Separator 3.
2.16.3.2. Open “Separator Line Cleanout Valve” located under the control panel towards
the bottom, between Valves 8 and 12. See Figure 22.
