PURPOSE OF THE MACHINE
The unit is intended for cleaning of air-driven spray-guns using
either thinner-based solvents or water-based solvents.
The unit has two separate areas for cleaning:
1. An automatic washer (item 1 illustration 1), intended for
cleaning of spray-guns and paint-cups.
2. A sink (item 2 illustration 1), intended for manual cleaning
of spray-guns and paint-cups as well as other tools used in
connection with vehicle paint-jobs like: fi ller scrapers, paint
brushes and such.
All other use of the unit are not allowed like:
– Emptying excess paint into the unit
– Cleaning of electric chargeable items
– Collecting of various waste
– Cleaning of textile materials
– Storing of items
– Cleaning of hands or other parts of the human body
– Cleaning of any items for food or drinks
ASSEMBLY
– First of all, check if the machine has been damaged during
the transport. Remove the packaging and check again that
the machine has not been damaged during the transport. If
so, report this immediately to the transport company.
– Fit the fl ange for the extraction (item 3 illustration 1) with
the 4 screws included (see detail illustration 2)
– Fit the glass window into place (item 4 illustration 1) (see
detail illustration 3)
– The air-line on the left side of the unit (item 5 illustration
1) is during transport placed inside the unit. Take it out,
and fasten it with the magnet in a convenient place on the
left side. This air-line is intended to blow out the spray-gun
after the cleaning procedure.
– The air-gun on the right side of the unit (item 6 illustration
1) is during transport placed inside the unit. Take it out, and
fasten it with the magnet in a convenient place on the right
side. This air-gun is intended to blow the spray-gun dry
after the cleaning procedure.
PLACING THE UNIT
The DRESTER DIX22 is equipment Category 2 (ref. ATEX-directive
94/9 EC) and may therefore be placed in locations classifi ed as
Zone 1 (ref. ATEX-directive 1999/92 EC).
If the DRESTER DIX22 is installed in locations classifi ed as Zone
2 or in unclassifi ed locations, the following is valid provided
that the ventilation of the unit is installed as described further
down in this manual:
The space within 1 m of the DRESTER DIX22 is to be classifi ed
as Zone 2, and the inside of the ducting as Zone 1 (see illustra-
tion 17).
Within these areas, all equipment such as electrical items
must be approved for the Zones described. Equipment that
generates naked fl ames or sparks (e.g. welding or grinding
equipment) may not be used in this area. Smoking is not
permitted. If in any doubt, please contact the local fi re service
authorities for advice.
This manual is part of the unit and must be available at all
times.
INSTALLATION
Compressed air
The unit must be connected to compressed air of 7-12 bar
(110-180 psi). When in use, the unit consumes 150 litres/
min (6 cfm) of air (450 litres/min (16 cfm) if connected to
a DRESTER AIRVENT 11660).
The air is to be connected to the moisture trap inside the unit
(illustration 4). To access this point, remove the front panel
(item 7 illustration 1) by lifting it up-and-out. The air-line can
be led into this point via the slots on the side of the unit, or
through the open back of the unit. In either case, make sure
that the air-line do not bend the hoses or in any other way
harm the pneumatic system of the unit.
To prevent pressure drops, the air line and couplings must be
adequately dimensioned. The regulator on the unit is pre-set
to 6.5 bar (100 psi). This is the optimal setting and must not
be altered.
The compressed air supplied to the unit must be clean and
dry. If it is not fi rst led through a water trap and fi lter, it may
cause damage to the pneumatic components of the unit,
which will invalidate any warranty claims.
Fit a connector to the air-line on the left side of the unit (item
5 illustration 1). This air-line is intended to blow out the spray-
gun after the cleaning procedure.
Grounding the unit
Make sure that the unit is properly grounded by using the
grounding cable (illustration 5).
Ventilation
There are three different options for the unit’s ventilation.
For all three options, it must be ensured that the speed of
the air fl ow at the opening of the hood is at least 0.5 m/s
(this corresponds to a ventilation volume of 500 m
3 /h
(310 cfm)).
The ventilation must be connected in such a way
as to ensure the grounding of all parts.
Option 1 : Connect the fl ange of the hood (item 3 illustration 1)
directly to a metal ducting, which is in turn connected to a
ventilation system approved for Zone 1.
