5.0 Maintenance
5.1 Introduction The TERAPRAESS TP 7100S mounting press requires very
minimal maintenance. However, it is recommended that the
mold and assembly be removed after every 40 hours of
operation to remove any mounting material buildup. This will
extend the life of the mold assemblies.
5.2 Cleaning outside
cabinet
Cabinet and front shield should be cleaned occasionally with a
moist cloth. Do not use any chemicals or cleaning medium
containing abrasive particles.
5.3 Cleaning inside
cabinet
Over time, small quantities of mounting residual can build up
inside the cabinet. It is recommended that once a year the
TERAPRAESS TP 7100S mounting press be cleaned with a
vacuum cleaner (be sure to disconnect the power before
opening the panel).
5.4 Filter It is recommended that a filter be used on the incoming water
line and cleaned as required.
5.5 Cleaning and Storing
mold assemblies
Over time, it is possible for residue to build up inside the mold
cylinder. It is recommended that the mold cylinder be
periodically removed and cleaned. Scraping with a blade such
as scissors is one effective method.
When changing and storing the molds, it is recommended that
a light oil such as WD - 40 be sprayed onto the rams and
cylinder to prevent corrosion (especially in high humidity
environments).
