14. Decommissioning
Decommissioning can be carried out for two reasons:
•
For the purpose of reinstalling the unit at another location.
•
For the purpose of final disposal.
If the sintering oven is to be reinstalled at another location, decommissioning must be well prepared. All
components and fittings must be carefully removed, labelled and, if necessary, packaged for transport. This
ensures that all parts can be identified correctly and refitted in the correct positions when reassembling the
unit.

Switch the sintering oven off.
2
Disconnect the sintering ovenfrom the voltage supply (pull out mains plug).
3
Remove all connections (e.g. PC interface cable, etc.) from the sintering oven.
