Operating modes
General information
The following operating modes are available:
−
Different coating modes:
−
Cleaning/color change
The operating modes are explicitly described in the following chapters.
The operating modes are selected manually by connecting the recovery
hose to the corresponding connection.
Coating without powder recovery (spray to
waste)
There is no powder recovery in this coating mode - the powder, which
does not adhere to the object, is fed directly to the waste.
Utilization of this operating mode:
−
When restarting the plant or after the color change (a few
minutes)
−
If highest coating quality is required
−
If the volume of order is very small
Coating with powder recovery
This coating mode allows the coating with recovery of the powder, which
does not adhere to the object.
Utilization of this operating mode:
−
Long time coating operation with the same powder and high
coating quality with minimal powder loss
−
Immediate coating following a powder change with not so high
demands on quality and the smallest possible of powder loss
Cleaning / color change (clean)
This operating mode enables the user to clean the OptiCenter. The higher
the requirement for cleanliness, the higher the time expenditure will be.
The cleaning mode consists of two parts, the coarse cleaning and the fine
cleaning. During the coarse cleaning mode the powder can be recovered,
but not during the fine cleaning mode (powder loss).
The cleaning of the components is partially automated, however, some of
them must be cleaned manually.
The
Cleaning
operating mode can only be initiated when the plant clean-
ing mode is stopped, namely by pressing the corresponding push button.
