MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the grille
1. Remove the front cover (see ‘Removing the front cover of the melter’).
2. Follow steps 1 to 5 of the previous section, ‘Changing the type of
adhesive’.
Before cleaning the grid, it is best to first clean the tube for the block. Any
residues from the cleaning of the tube could fall onto the grid and make it
dirty again.
Warning: Use the appropriate protective equipment for high temperatures.
3. Raise the piston again to its highest position and open the lid.
4. Loosen the four screws of the clamps that fix the tube of the block to
the block of the grid and the tank. Carefully remove the tube.
5. You now have full access to the grid in order to clean it. With a soft
cloth, remove and clean the adhesive residues and the carbon deposits
from inside.
Cleaning the tube for the block
1. Follow steps 1 to 3 of the previous section, ‘Changing the type of
adhesive’.
Warning: Use the appropriate protective equipment for high temperatures.
2. You now have full access to the inside of the tube in order to clean
it. With a soft cloth, remove and clean the adhesive residues and the
carbon deposits from inside.
Cleaning the pusher piston
1. Follow steps 1 to 5 of the previous section, ‘Cleaning the grid’.
2. With a soft cloth, remove and clean the adhesive residues and the
carbon deposits from the piston disk.
3. If necessary for better access, lower the piston manually (using the
controls of the valve), ensuring that it does not collide with any part of
the machine or the melter.
