WARNING
Danger from incorrect use of materials/media!
The materials/media to be used for operation of the device as intended are procured and
utilized by the owner of the device.
If unsuitable materials/media are selected, strong chemical reactions could result in fatal
injury or severe physical injuries.
The proper selection and handling of these materials/media is the sole responsibility
of the owner.
When selecting the materials/media, make sure that the permitted technical
parameters of the device are NOT exceeded.
The cleaning agents and media must be approved for all of the materials of the device
(e.g. washers, bushings) and for the substances in the container to be cleaned which
come into contact with them.
Adhere to the specified chemical limits for use in the material data sheets.
Adhere to the safety data sheets provided by the manufacturers of the materials and
media, in particular for hazardous substances:
–
Comply with the hazard and disposal instructions.
–
Specify protective measures and compile operating instructions for hazardous
substances.
–
This also applies to hazardous substances that may develop during work processes.
Use of the retractor systems in potentially explosive areas is only permitted if the pneumatic actuator is
operated using operating materials that are suitable for the application in question (for information on
limit switches and temperature sensors, see
Table 7.5-1: Replacement Parts List (Standard), Wear
) and that have been brought onto the market in accordance with Directive
2014/34/EU. A separate risk assessment must be performed with regard to the assembly of the
retractor systems using operating materials not specified in these operating instructions.
The provisions of EN 60079-14 regarding the selection and setup of electrical operating materials must
be observed.
Refer to the order confirmation/parts list from AWH for the materials used in the device.
The device is used for cleaning the interiors of containers with and without installed equipment.
The option of using retractor systems is useful, particularly in situations where there is little
space available for a cleaning device, due to projecting agitators or other installations, or where
critical products prevent permanent installation of the device.
For the purpose of these instructions the word container refers to closed tanks, silos, drums,
containers, pipes, etc. that are provided with a drain that ensures that the supplied cleaning medium
can drain freely.
