Sediment Separator and Holding Tank
Equally Important to the suction design of mobile dental equipment is how the liquid contents
are handled. The suction system has a holding tank to provide capacity for a normal day of
procedures and is able to handle caustic chemicals and can be purged and cleaned at the end
of the day.
The system separates the air stream from the liquid and provides a sediment bowl that can be
removed.
Built into the top of the holding tank is a float switch to prevent over filling of the canister. Once
the liquid rises to a pre-set level, the float switch will cut off the power to the vacuum pump.
Purge System
The system uses an electric purge pump that can be turned on that will siphon the liquid from the holding
tank and empty out though the purge hose at the back of the system. At the end of the day’s procedures
the purge hose can be placed into a sink drain or quick connected to a sink’s P-trap and then the pump
turned on to purge the tank. Once complete, water with evacuation cleanser can be suctioned up
through the HVE and saliva ejector to rinse the tubes and the holding tank.
The pump squeezes the specially designed tubing to pull and push contents through the tube. This
pump design allows it to pull granular or sticky paste-like materials.
