IMPORTANT SUPPLEMENTARY SAFETY INFORMATION
Introduction
Cole-Parmer fluidized baths are safe and effective equipment when installed and operated correctly in
accordance with the user manual. However, if used incorrectly they can pose a safety risk. Antylia Scientific have
designed all models of fluidized baths to protect operators from hazards, but users should pay attention to the
following points.
Caution
1. Please read the Instruction Manual before installation and use.
2. Some Cole-Parmer fluidized baths can heat up to 700°C. High temperatures are dangerous and can cause
serious burns to operators and ignite combustible material.
3. Use care and wear protective gloves to protect hands and protective glasses to protect eyes.
4. Do not put hot objects on or near combustible objects.
5. Do not operate the unit close to inflammable liquids or gases.
6. Do not place any liquid directly in the unit.
7. Always ensure a suitable, adequate ventilation system is used when equipment is in use.
8. Always install fireproof metal ducting with sufficient airflow where applicable.
Maintenance
1. When performing maintenance, always disconnect from power supply and cool below 50°C.
2. Antylia Scientific recommend regular cleaning of fluidized baths. Externally, wipe with a damp soapy cloth.
No abrasive cleaners should be used. Care should be taken to prevent any water entering the unit.
3. Regular internal and external inspection of extraction ducting is recommended to detect any damage and
ensure the internals are clean. Any build-up of particles or debris discovered in the extraction ducting
requires the ducting to be cleaned or replaced.
4. In fluidized baths used for polymer burn-off, please regularly inspect fluidizing medium, remove any foreign
debris and replace with clean fluidizing medium as required.
5. Never top-up a hot fluidized bath with cold fluidizing medium. Always cool below 50°C first.
Please note:
1. Please ensure an adequate risk assessment is performed before use of a fluidized bath.
2. Please ensure the appropriate temperature is used for the application, always stay safely below the
combustion temperature of any material or sample in a fluidized bath.
3. Fluidizing airflow must be switched on before heating a fluidized bath and left operational until the bath
cools to below 50°C unless performing dead-bed calibration function.
4. Do not overfill fluidizing media. When fluidized, the aluminium oxide level should be approximately 150mm
(6”) from the top surface of the bath at your maximum operating temperature.
5. In fluidized baths used for polymer burn-off, always remove excess polymer from sample.
6. In applications where materials being treated produce acidic vapours during thermal decomposition, it is
recommended a fume scrubber is utilised to ensure fume emission from the plant conforms to local
regulations.
