1.  Top cover

During operation, the top cover should be placed 

on the container to close it. This prevents water 

splashing out of the PVA Removal Station. 

2.  Container

The large container has a volume of 13.7 L. The 

container is filled with cold water to enable the 

cleaning process. The container has two grips 

and a large handle for easy transportation. The 

back of the container has a pouring spout to 

facilitate water disposal.

3.  Magnetic rotor

The magnetic rotor is placed at the bottom of 

the container. During the cleaning process, the 

rotor will turn to enable water flow. There are 

two rotor speeds: Normal and slow. The rotor will 

automatically change direction during operation to 

optimize dissolving speeds.

4.  Docking station

The docking station is the base of the PVA 

Removal Station. It contains integrated electronics 

and a motor. The docking station also features 

the interface. The power cable is connected to 

the docking station.

5.  Interface

The simple but elegant interface has two buttons and 

three small LEDs. Turn the PVA Removal Station on 

and off with the power button on the left. The button 

on the right side sets the rotor speed (normal, slow, 

or paused). The interface also controls the container 

illumination and indicates error states.

6.  Rinsing basket

During the cleaning process, printed objects are 

placed in the rinsing basket. This ensures that the 

objects are kept fully submerged and away from the 

turning rotor. The rinsing basket has an inner divider 

to restrict movement of the printed part.
