Limitations for media
7.2.1
Flammable, solvent-based media
Among the most flammable, solvent-based media, those with a
flashpoint greater than or equal (>=) to 23 °C and an ignition
temperature greater than or equal (>=) to 200 °C are permitted
in the machine. Therefore, note the flashpoint and ignition
temperature specifications in the safety data sheet of your
intended cleaning and rinsing media.
7.2.2
Non-flammable, solvent-based media
In the case of intended permanent use with fluorinated, non-
flammable solvents (e.g. epilamisation), seals made of the
fluoroplastic elastomers FPM, FFPM may have to be replaced
previously (see above materials).
Use with chlorinated or brominated solvents is not
recommended; these require checking on request in advance
and possibly the replacement of seals.
7.2.3
Aqueous based media
This cleaning machine is not designed for foaming cleaning
media. It has only limited suitable drying for rinsing water
wetted parts.
Therefore, solvent-based rinsing is recommended as last
rinsing step. There are no other limitations caused by the
cleaning machine.
7.2.4
Environmental hazard from media
The solvent-based cleaning and rinsing media based on
hydrocarbons are not water-miscible and mostly hazardous for
the environment. Also note the markings with warnings and
pictograms and the information in the safety data sheet of your
intended cleaning and rinsing media. This is applicable to a
smaller extent for solvent-based media based on alkoxy
compounds.
The environment-related markings mentioned above must also
be observed for aqueous based cleaning media, particularly for
their disposal.
The instructions for occupational health and safety in the
respective data sheets must be observed for all cleaning media.
"elma wf pro" is classified as environmentally hazardous
according to R51 and R53 and therefore has an environmental
hazard pictogram while "elma suprol pro" and "elma unimix" are
only classified with R52 and R53 and therefore do not have any
environmental hazard pictogram.
