9. Maintenance of the Sinterit Powder Separator
ATTENTION!
Before starting any maintenance or cleaning job, always wear adequate protective
clothing, eyewear, face mask, and/or gloves according to the type of job to be done.
ATTENTION!
Any maintenance or cleaning job must only be executed in a NOT-CLASSIFIED atmosphere
(an area with a non potentially explosive atmosphere).
A. CLEANING THE SINTERIT POWDER SEPARATOR
1. Wait at least 1 minute after switching off the vacuum cleaner. The powder inside the powder separator must fall
freely.
2. Unlock and lower the Clamping ring.
• Do not disconnect the grounding from the vacuum cleaner and powder separator!
3. Lift the body of the powder separator carefully and disconnect it from the Metal container.
4. Place the powder separator body on the work tray so that the powder from the bottom of the Container lid does not
pollute the surface around.
5. Disconnect the Antistatic hose 32/50

7. Thoroughly vacuum the entire powder separator, especially the bottom of the Container lid and Inlet tube. Also
vacuum off the Metal container, especially when you plan to change powder (e.g. from PA12 to FLEXA). Use the
Sinterit ATEX Vacuum Cleaner.
8. To thoroughly clean the inside of the powder separator, we suggest using compressed air or a compressor. Watch
out for powder that may come out from inside.
