Feed Hose and the Exhaust Hose from the Powder Feed Chamber
above the Coating Bed. Remove the Tooling Plate (8)

10.4 POWDER/COLOR
CHANGE
When changing powder from one color to another, it is very important that the entire
system be thoroughly cleaned to prevent contamination. The same Coating Bed
cleaning procedure as above should be used. The Powder Feed Chamber, Powder
Feed Hose, and Powder Exhaust Hose must also be thoroughly cleaned or replaced.
The Powder Collector cartridges should be changed if powder is being saved and re-
used. It is also necessary to thoroughly clean inside the Powder Collector Module
enclosure and the Powder Collector Hopper (and Pail) to avoid color contamination.
The Fluidizing Hopper, Powder Feed Pump and Powder Feed hoses must be
thoroughly cleaned and hoses replaced if necessary.
