HFF01 

Pressurized pneumatics system 

The pressurized pneumatics system may trigger dangerous situations. 

1. 

Disconnect the compressed air supply before working on the 
pneumatics system. 

2. 

Depressurize the pneumatics system. 

3. 

Secure the compressed air supply against reactivation. 

 

Cleaning 

The powder hopper and (optional) accessories must be cleaned daily. 

Cleaning / Sterilization can be carried out by means of hot water or 
steam. 
 

 

ATTENTION 

Container components may be damaged during the cleaning 
process. 

Observe the operating temperatures. 

  Cleaning the system with the gaskets but WITHOUT A FLUID 

PLATE, the operating temperature may not exceed 125°C! 

  Remove all gaskets when cleaning/sterilizing at temperatures 

above 125°C! 

  Clean individual parts with compressed air and, if required, 

dissolve any sintering on metal parts with cellulose thinners.  

  Do not scratch the surfaces! 

 

 

ATTENTION 

Damage to O-rings when using impermissible cleaning agents 

  Only use elasto-compatible cleaning agents! Refer to chapter on 

"Material declaration" on Page 39. 

 

Cleaning intensity depends of the powder used. For optimal cleaning / 
sterilization results, we recommend dismantling the entire powder hopper 
into its dismantle components. 
 

 

ATTENTION 

Hopper components may be damaged during the cleaning process.

–  Please dismantle carefully to avoid damages!
