Any material collected on the flat surfaces, as well as material collected in
the RotoClone, should be removed at regular intervals.
NOTE:
Cleanout interval established must be frequent enough to prevent
collected material from exceeding a depth of 6" (2" for light metals).
The sludge depth may be checked by probing through the access door
periodically during the first week of operation. At the end of the week, inspect the
unit to determine the depth of sludge accumulation. Based upon this inspection, a
fixed schedule should be established for regular sludge removal.
NOTE:
The RotoClone may be cleaned without draining.
12.3
Draining the RotoClone
Ideally, the RotoClone should be shut down for a few hours prior to draining
to allow solids to settle.
Open the drain slowly such that flow increases gradually. This will prevent a
sudden rush of solids into the drain. Initially, a small amount of the sludge layer
will erode away in the vicinity of the drain. The cleaner water will then flow out
and tends to leave the remainder of the sludge layer intact.
If the drain is plugged, backflush the drain with a hose or manually back the
sludge away from the drain in order to establish flow. Drain pluggage is an
indication that the frequency of cleaning should be increased.
12.4
Cleaning the RotoClone
Collected material can be raked up the sloping side through the main access
door. Dust and metal chips can be easily removed with a 12" wide hoe.
Mud or sludge pumps are available from several manufacturers. They can be
used to pump the settled material into a suitable container. Sometimes a “wet-
vac” type unit can be utilized.
Once collected material is removed, fill the RotoClone in section 11.
12.5
RotoClone Maintenance
During the draining and cleaning of the RotoClone, a routine inspection and
cleaning of water level control box and float switch, electronic probes if supplied,
and RotoClone housing, should be done.
