Intended use
This product is intended for use mainly within a commercial, professional, or educational environment. The PVA
Removal Station is designed and built for the fast and easy dissolution of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) support material
which was generated during dual extrusion printing.
The PVA Removal Station dissolves PVA by generating flowing water, which removes all PVA material 3 – 5
times faster than when the object is submerged in still water. To achieve optimum dissolving speeds, the PVA
Removal Station varies the flow direction periodically. By changing the direction, the water flow will reach all
printed product cavities.
Product disposal
The PVA Removal Station shall be disposed of in accordance with the local regulations for Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and should not be disposed with other household or commercial waste at the end
of its working life.
