Important note
• The parts to be cleaned must be brought up to operating temperature of
at least 10 to 20°C above the melt temperature of the particular plastic.
• Aluminium scrapers and brass brushes must be used exclusively in
order to prevent scratching to the sensitive surfaces and sealing faces,
most of which are polished.
- Remove any thick layers of stuck-on material with scrapers
- Remove finer residue with a brush
- Fine plastic residue should be rubbed off hot parts using a cloth
soaked in silicone or copper wool
CAUTION!
Potential for damage to the airways or chemical burns to the skin!
Never use petrol for cleaning!
Ensure that there is good ventilation.
• Areas of the polished surfaces that have become dull must be re-
polished with a commercially-available polishing paste.
• The material-transporting surfaces of the cleaned parts must be
sparingly sprayed or rubbed with silicone oil, in order to avoid oxidation
of the polished surfaces during the heating phase.
CAUTION!
Potential material damage!
Normal machine oil must not be used under any
circumstances for rubbing on the parts, as it will burn and char at
high temperatures, rendering the parts unusable.
• Parts that are subjected to very high temperatures must be thinly coated
with a high-temperature thread paste (Molykote HSC) prior to
installation!
- All fitted surfaces
- All screw/bolt threads
• In order to assure the leak-tightness of threaded connections, tighten all
screws to the prescribed tightening torques and retighten after approx.
10 min. Unless otherwise stipulated, use the tightening toques specified
in Chapter 8.
NOTE!
The wide-slit die must be cleaned, immediately after disassembly,
at 10 – 20°C above the belting temperature of the plastic type in
question (see Chapter 6.4.2).
CAUTION!
Potential material damage!
With even the slightest damage, there can no longer be a
guarantee that the wide-slit die will continue to perform at its best!
