8.1.4 Glass Breakage
In the case of glass breakage, immediately remove all glass
particles (e.g. with a vacuum cleaner).
Replace the rubber cushions since even thorough cleaning will not
remove all glass particles.
Glass particles will damage the surface coating (e.g. anodizing) of the
buckets, which will then lead to corrosion.
Glass particles in the rubber cushions of the buckets will cause glass
breakage again.
Glass particles on the pivot bearing of the load-bearing bolts prevent
the buckets and rotor blocks from swinging evenly, which will cause
an imbalance.
Glass particles in the rotor chamber will cause metal abrasion due to
the circulation. This metal dust will not only pollute the rotor chamber,
rotor, and materials to be evaporated but also damage the surfaces of
the accessories, rotors, and rotor chamber.
In order to completely remove the glass particles and the metal dust
from the rotor chamber:
Grease the upper third of the rotor chamber with e.g. Vaseline.
Then, let the rotor rotate for a few minutes at maximum speed
and atmosphere pressure. The glass and metal particles will now
collect at the greased part.
Remove the grease with the glass and metal particles with a
cloth.
If necessary, repeat this procedure.
Clean the rotor shaft.
8.2 Disinfection of the Rotor Chamber and Accessories
Use commercially-available disinfectants such as, for example,
Incidur , Meliseptol , Sagrotan , Buraton or Terralin (available
at chemist’s shops or drugstores).
The rotational vacuum concentrators and the accessories consist
of various materials. A possible incompatibility must be
considered.
Before using cleaning or decontamination agents that were not
recommended by us, contact the manufacturer to ensure that
such a procedure will not damage the rotational vacuum
concentrator.
For autoclaving, consider the continuous heat resistance of the
individual materials.
Please contact us if you have any queries (see 7.2 "Service Contact")..
If dangerous materials (e.g. infectious and pathogenic substances)
are used, the rotational vacuum concentrator and accessories must
be disinfected.
