Magnum Venus Plastech Impregnator Roll - Manual (Page 24)

2. Place the resin trap pan in place under the rolls and connect hose or drain pipe to the bottom of
the pan for draining the clean-up solvent. Place a container of at least 5 gallons capacity under
the drain pipe or hose to catch used solvent.
3. Close nip of the rolls by turning the micrometer adjustment knobs counterclockwise to zero.
4. Move the end dams to the extreme edges of the resin rolls.
5. Start the rolls turning in reverse rotation.
6. Flush solvent through the gun head and pour tube assembly by pressing the air valve push
button located on top of gun head cylinder block.
7. Allow solvent to fill the nip of the rolls. Wipe the resin rolls with your hands or with a shop towel
while the rolls are turning in reverse rotation.
CAUTION: Never allow fingers or hands to come into contact with the underside of the rolls.
Safety glasses and protective clothing should be worn at all times when cleaning Impregnator.
8. After the rolls are resin free, stop rolls and remove end dams and clean them thoroughly.
Always stop rolls before removing end dams.
9. Remove the pour tubes by raising the end of the tube with the extension plug up, out of the
bracket and pull tube out of manifold block. Care should be taken not to damage the “O” ring
seals in the manifold block.
CAUTION: The pour tubes may have solvent left in them from the flush operation.
10. Remove the pour tube manifold block by swinging it out clockwise and pulling down. Care
should be taken not to damage the “O” ring seal on the gun nozzle.
11. On some models the manifold block is equipped with a static mixer. Care must be taken to
insure all catalyzed resin is flushed out of the mixer.
12. Clean all pour tube assembly parts thoroughly with clean solvent.
NOTE: The bottle brush, with the long rod attached to the handle, should be soaked in solvent
and pushed-pulled through the pour tubes to remove all traces of resin.
13. Remove the nozzle from the gun head. Clean the nozzle and turbulent mixer with clean solvent.
Do not soak the turbulent mixer in solvent for any length of time. The mixer will absorb the
solvent and swell and will not fit into gun head until sitting 24 hours to allow swelling to go down.
14. The rubber feed rolls should be cleaned by removing all foreign matter with your hands.
NOTE: Do not soak or saturate the rubber feed rolls with solvent. Any prolonged contact with
solvent will damage rubber.
CAUTION: Never allow fingers or hand to come into contact with the underside of the rolls
while the machine is in operation.
15. Start rolls turning in reverse rotation. Starting from the middle and working to each end, spray
the resin rolls with solvent spray to remove all traces of resin from the rolls.
CAUTION: Safety glasses and protective clothing should be worn at all times when cleaning the
Impregnator.
