Advice
Consult your local Frick representative for information on
the following:

number of cassettes (twin plates)

and pressures are permanently changed, or if another
medium is to be processed in the LZWII
Environmental compliance
Frick endeavours to perform its own operations as cleanly
and efficiently as possible, and to take environmental
aspects into consideration when developing, designing,
manufacturing, servicing, and marketing its products.
Unpacking
Packing material consists of wood, plastics, cardboard
boxes and, in some cases, metal straps.
• Wood and cardboard boxes can be reused, recycled, or
used for energy recovery.
• Ensure plastics are recycled or burnt at a licensed
waste incineration plant.
• Send metal straps for material recycling.
Maintenance
• Send all metal parts for material recycling.
• Oil and all non-metal wear parts must be taken care of
in agreement with local regulations.
Scrapping
At end of use, recycle the equipment in accordance with
the relevant, local regulations. Besides the equipment
itself, any hazardous residues from the process liquid must
be considered and dealt with in the correct manner. When
in doubt, or in absence of local regulations, contact the
local Frick sales company.
