32 Shandon Excelsior ES Operator Guide
An example procedure is described here - the feature ‘Control All
Groups’ in the Quality Control screen enables alcohol in A1,
xylene in X1, and wax in W 1 to be replaced together.
The timeline assumes a schedule of one process run per day.
DAY 1
The alcohol quality has reached its defined limit and a triangle
is displayed above the alcohol quality indicator. The Quality
Control screen is displayed automatically when the next
processing run is due to begin.
In the Quality Control screen highlight the text ‘Control
1.
All Groups’. The text below alcohol and xylene is - ‘Rotation
Due next Run’. The text below wax is - ‘Discard Due next Run’
The selection key options are [ACKNOWLEDGE ALL] and
[POSTPONE ALL].
Select [ACKNOWLEDGE ALL].
2.
Open the doors to ensure that containers
3. Ex1, Ex2
and
ww
are empty (waste wax tray WW should have a liner).
Run your next process to continue with the rotation.
4.
Excelsior ES uses reagents as usual from
A1, X1
and
w1
,
discarding them into the exchange positions (and the waste wax
tray).
After the process steps using reagents
A2, X2
and
w2
, these are
not returned to these positions - they are moved forward by one
position and become the new reagents for
A1, X1
and
w1
. This
continues for all subsequent reagents.
DAY 2
The next morning, the screen indicates
A6, X3
, and
w3
are
empty, whilst
Ex1, Ex2
and
ww
are full as shown.
