7.5 Adsorption Cartridge Filter 7.5
(Optional equipment /USA Standard)
The reason that the economy filter and the cartridge adsorption filter are both used on one machine is
that this provides separate filtration of pigment dirt and soluble dirt (fatty acids, dyes).
The insoluble pigment dirt is separated with the help of the extraction filter,
and the soluble dirt (especially dyes) is adsorbed on the cartridge.
In case there is discoloration of the solvent during the cycle, it is possible to manually activate the
cartridge filter (7) in the filter circuit after the economy filter (6).

Steps for activating the cartridge filter:
- Open ball valves (2) and (3)
- Close ball valve (1)
If you want to remove the filter from the solvent circuit again and use only the economy
filter, make the following setting by hand:
- Open ball valve (1)
- Close ball valves (2) and (3)

7.11.1 Refrigeration unit
Refrigeration technology is used to cool the air cooler in the airshaft and, in special cases
(optional equipment), for cooling the solvent. The low aftercooler temperature of the air cooler
reduces the solvent residue concentration in the cage and the solvent emissions.
The heated gas that arises in the cooling compressor (heat pump principle) is fed through the
pre-heater. The energy consumed for drying is considerably reduced because the thermal energy
is fed back.
The air cooler is specially coated as protection against corrosion.

7.12 Drying Controller (Volume Drystat) 7.12
The drying controller is in the solvent drain line from the air duct to the water separator. It consists of a
valve and a sight-glass with built-in level sensor, positioned above the valve.
The drying controller determines the amount of recovery to be expected in a predefined period of time.
If this particular amount of recovery is no longer attained during the predefined time period, the
garments are dry.
The valve closes after the end of the specified drying time. The recovery causes the volume
(measurement chamber) between the valve and sensor to fill.
When the filling level has been reached, the sensor opens the valve and the solvent drains into the
water separator. This procedure keeps repeating until the filling time (adjustable in the specification
code) is exceeded.
The programme enters the post-drying phase, when additionally a certain temperature is reached.
The measurement chamber must empty within a specific time. If this time is exceeded, an error
message is displayed and the machine switches to the malfunction state.
Note the diagnostic message!

sight-glass are rinsed each time the still is pumped out. You can turn the distillation heater on and off
with 13E. Furthermore, distillation can be stopped by pressing the 0 button (for about 2 seconds).
For information on still stripping and maintenance, see Point 11.
7.14.1 Overfill Preventer in Still (Optional Equipment)
A built-in sensor interrupts the pumping in process when the upper edge of the view-glass has been
reached. The horn sounds and a diagnostic message is displayed. Delete the diagnostic message
with the "C" button. You can also decide if you want to pump the excess solvent to tank 1 and
continue with the program sequence, or if you want to wait until the solvent is distilled off.

cage. The drycleaning machine’s computer control system controls the sprayer. Stored fixed programs
or individually created customer programs handle the fully automatic sequence of the rinsing process.
With absorbent ski clothing, quilted jackets, down, Gore-Tex, microfiber textiles, etc., we recommend
that you spray on to dry garments.
Rinsing the garments with solvent from the machine's clean tank before spraying usually results in
better waterproofing results.
It is possible to build the sprayer on to the cleaning machine at a later time; everything has been
prepared.

Sprayer operation
The computer controls the sprayer.
Use only products that remain liquid at room temperature.
Attention:
The pump should not run when it is dry!
Use only suitable chemical additives.
Enter the number of the waterproofing program, press the "START" button; the spraying time,
which you can change, if necessary, appears in the display field. Press "E" to start the program.
The system suctions the product from the product container and passes it through the open
stop valve (369); the system feeds the product through the spray pump to the spray nozzle in
the cage via the non-return valve and then sprays the garments.
The flexible suction hose is shaped into a tube at one end so that the suction line always
reaches vertically down to the bottom of the product container. A fine sieve with suction valve is
located at the suction opening.
The total spraying time determines how much of the product is sprayed, according to the
throughput capability of the spray nozzle and the pump pressure.
The amount of product to be sprayed is achieved according to the throughput capacity of the
spray nozzle and the pump pressure by spraying.
After each spraying is switched from product tank to pure tank and rinsed the period from SpecCode line.
Before longer standstill times or before you change the product, we recommend that you rinse
the sprayer with solvent. This should prevent the sprayer from becoming gummed up with
product residues.
Do this by starting program P50. For the duration of the spraying, the stop valve (369/1) is
open, so that solvent from the clean tank is suctioned in for rinsing instead of the product.
In order to achieve a good waterproofing effect, make sure not to put too much
into the cleaning machine. It is useful to apply the amount of product to the
number of garments instead of to the weight.
The recommended value is 40 ml of product for waterproofing each garment
piece. Please refer to the datasheets from the appropriate manufacturer for the
exact amount.
The machine uses a 1.5 nozzle; an additional 2.5 nozzle is included in the delivery.
Your supplier of chemical additives can help you to make the exact adjustment.
Watch the liquid level in the product container.

7.19 Slimsorba Adsorption Unit 7.20
(Optional equipment)
General Information
The Slimsorba is a multiple-cycle adsorption unit for reducing the perc solvent residue in the cage at
the end of the cycle.
The Slimsorba is integrated into the machine. All functional sequences run completely automatically
over the computer control of the drycleaning machine.
The carbon unit has been dimensioned so that it can adsorb approx. one week long during normal
single shift operation.
Special maintenance programs are available for the Slimsorba; they allow you to perform desorption
of the activated carbon outside of the cleaning cycles. If you want, you can have the system provide
you with a maintenance message.
Desorption is performed in an environmentally acceptable way with hot air. It does not result in any
process water that needs to be disposed of.
The Slimsorba is heated with steam.
The cage venting of the drycleaning machine runs over the Slimsorba when the loading door is open.
A special cooling system always keeps the carbon's temperature within the optimum range for good
adsorption capabilities. (optional)
Attention: There is a risk of burns on parts that are not insulated.
The main components of the Slimsorba are:
- Carbon container with a filling of absorbing carbon and an internal cooling coil (optional with
additional cooling coil)
Note: You must fill in activated carbon when commissioning the machine
- Heater battery for hot air desorption
- Air filter lint filter
- Fan for moving the air flow
- Sensors for temperature monitoring
- Connecting pipes to the drycleaning machine

Drying phases
The cleaning machine with Slimsorba has the following drying phases:
- Drying: Drying circuit in the machine
Time: 12 min. + x (extension)
this process is governed by the drying controller and the drum temperature
sensor
- Reduction: Drying circuit in the machine
Time: 3 min.
- Adsorption. Execution of the air circuit: Back wall of cage – Slimsorba fan –
air filter - carbon container - cage entry.
The airshaft is cut off by flaps and the refrigeration is turned off.
Time: 4 min. fixed time + 2 min. (Spec. code)
Adsorption phase
Adsorption is the last phase in the cleaning cycle program sequence; it reduces the solvent
concentration in the cage at the end of the cycle to a level of, for example, < 2 g perc per m
707760-07-A
Adsorption is a time-controlled process resp. concentration controlled (with measuring device), and
the temperature at the bottom of the carbon bed is monitored.
After the predefined or required number of charges has been reached (factory setting is 60),
desorption should be performed in order to regenerate the activated carbon.

Loading Door Venting
After you open the loading door, the so-called loading door venting starts. The Slimsorba fan helps to
draw fresh air in over the loading door; the air is guided over the carbon and then either blown back
out into the open * or fed back into the cage. Loading door venting should prevent the operator from
being exposed to solvent fumes when loading and unloading the machine.
Loading door venting runs until you close the loading door. When you open the loading door again,
loading door venting starts again.
* (only in certain countries)
707760-09-A
If any overpressure arises in the machine, it is also fed over the carbon into the open, just like the air
drawn in during loading door venting when the cage is being loaded and unloaded.
P21/P26/P30

7. Functional Units 7.
Desorption phase
The carbon desorption is time-controlled. The adjustable time is in the specification code. The
minimum time is approximately 1.5 hours. The solvent is condensed via the cooler in the airshaft and
then fed into the water separator. The refrigeration plant and the machine fan run. The thermal sensor
at the bottom of the carbon container monitors the heating after 15 min; if the selected temperature
has not been reached, an error message "minimum carbon temperature not reached" appears.
707760-08-A
The cleaner has 2 programs that you can select for desorption:
1. Adsorber maintenance program P48
2. Adsorber maintenance included in multi-maintenance 1, program P49
Slimsorba maintenance has two steps: "Desorption" and "Cooling".

carbon container. The steam valves are closed. The cooling phase runs until the temperature drops
below the temperature given in the specification code.
Recommendation:

Before resorption is completed the air filter should be removed and
cleaned separately (suction it off).

11.5.3 Water Separator With Safety Separator
Dispose of the process water according to the regulations in your country.
You must clean the water separator routinely (and always after the distillation system has boiled
over). The unit does this automatically with a fixed maintenance program P54 or as an integrated
part of the so-called multi-maintenance program P49.
Start one of the maintenance programs listed above weekly.
You can run another program at the same time as the maintenance program.
Sequence of the maintenance program:
Step 1: * The water phase drains from the safety separator into the tank provided (8).
Step 2: The water phase drains from the water separator into the safety separator or tank
(13).
Step 3: * The water phase drains from the safety separator into the tank provided (8).
Step 4: The water separator empties into the distillation system (11) with the solvent pump.
Step 5: The water separator is rinsed with solvent from the clean tank (7).
Step 6: The water separator empties into the distillation system (11) with the solvent pump.
Step 7: Produce the receiver in the water separator.
* These steps are deleted if there is no safety separator
After the maintenance has completed, the horn sounds and the program ends. The cycle counter is
reset to 0.
General function at the end of a cleaning cycle:
The water phase from the safety separator is drained into the process water tank when the loading
door is opened.
Over time, perc also slowly accumulates in the safety separator. You can pump this into the distillation
system from time to time by opening the yellow manual ball valve (12) briefly when the system is
pumping to the distillation system.
The safety separator is not rinsed! You can clean it through the sight-glass opening when needed.
Attention

11.5.4 Economy Filter Maintenance
Observe safety regulations concerning the handling of solvent (see Point 2).
You must perform the maintenance on the economy filter when an adjustable number of cycles
has run or at least once a week.
The filter pressure is displayed on the filter pressure gauge (8)*. When the machine has run
through the specified number of cycles, a diagnostic message (see diagnosis list) indicates that it
is time for filter maintenance.
On machines with an additional cartridge filter (7), you must separate it from the economy filter (6)
when you perform maintenance on the economy filter. Do this by opening the ball valve (1) and
disconnecting ball valves (2) and (3) from the economy filter (6).

Observe safety regulations concerning the handling of solvent (see Point 2).
When changing the cartridge, separate the cartridge filter (7) from the economy filter (6) by setting:
Ball valve (1) open
Ball valves (2), (3), (4) closed
Sequence for the rest of the work:
- Open ball valve (4), drain filter and let it sit and drain sufficiently
(overnight or weekend)
The filter vents automatically over ball valve (5).
- (The next day): loosen the tension clip on the filter housing and open the housing (7)
- Unscrew the thumb screw, replace the cartridge (if necessary, replace the
sealing disc) and tighten the thumb screw again
- Check that the housing gasket sits correctly (replace gasket if necessary).
- Close the housing, mount the tension clip and then close ball valve (4) on the filter drain.
Fill the cartridge filter with solvent during the next cycle.
Do this by closing ball valve (1) and opening ball valves (2) and (3).
Then either run the filtration over the cartridge filter to the end or
separate the cartridge filter from the economy filter again.
Dispose of used filter cartridges as special waste in a way that avoids emissions!

Maintenance program P45 with emission-free still rake out:
If you have an economy filter, you can only perform the emission-free still rake out if you have
not precoated with filter powder.
With each distillation pump out process, the sludge pump pumps out the entire contents of the
still.
The number 8 appears in the display when the maintenance program P45 starts.
After you press the START button again, the emission-free still rake out proceeds as follows:
The residues are heated up.
After a predefined temperature has been reached,
valve 142 opens and the sludge pump pumps over the
residues * . After the predefined pump-out time has
completed, valve 142 closes and valves 143 and 143/1 open.
The sludge pump moves the residues from the still into
the disposal vessel. The solvent-carrying air that is forced
out of the vessel is directed back into the still through valve
143/1 (gas displacement line).
Then the sludge pump, nozzle and pipelines are
rinsed with solvent. The last step of the still
maintenance is drying the cage and reduction or
adsorption (on machines with Slimsorba).
When the liquid level in the disposal vessel reaches
the sensor-controlled overfill preventer, the sludge
pump stops automatically and all valves of the still
rake out system close. An alarm display appears
and the signal sounds. After you delete the signal
by pressing "C", replace the full disposal vessel
with an empty one. Then you can start the
maintenance program P45 and continue with
the emission-free still rake out. Ball valve (1)
is always open; close it only when repairing the
pump.
Warning:
open the ball valve between the valve Y 143 and vat and make sure
that the vat is connected.

Remarks on distillation:
Fill the still only up to the lower edge of the sight-glass.
When solvent containing water is distilled, the distillate becomes slightly cloudy as a result of the
water traces.
The distillation performance is reduced if you do not remove distillation residues from the still daily.
This also increases the risk of boiling over and the solvent consumption.
When operating with economy filters without filter powder, the distillation residue is liquid.
This means that there will not be an increase in the consumption of solvent involved if the
distillation equipment is used correctly.
If the detergent solution foams or boils over, you can use a defoamer.
The amount to use is approximately 0.1 % of the filling quantity (either over the button trap or
using a separate pump). If the distillation unit boils over, empty and clean the water separator (if
necessary, distill the contents of the clean tank. The distillation cleans the condenser
automatically.
* With direct addition of steam, almost all of the perc is stripped off because the boiling point is
lowered.
You must check the function of the overfill sensor once a week.
Sequence of the check:
Loosen the screwed union (1)
Lift the ventilation pipeline
The light-emitting diode (LED) on the probe is "green"
Now touch the probe at the tip (3 - 5 cm/1.2 - 2.0"); the
color of the LED must change from "green" to "red
If it does, the probe is in order
Replace the ventilation pipeline
Firmly tighten the screwed union (1) again
11.5.8 Maintenance of the Solvent Tank
In order to prevent a build-up of water in the tanks and, simultaneously, to rinse them, you must
perform the tank maintenance once a month.
Before starting the maintenance program 50, you must clean the button trap strainer; the cage
and distillation system must be empty.

12. Solvent Monitoring and Care 12.
The most important factor in solvent inspection and care is the use of high-quality perc and
suitable chemical additives. The drycleaning detergent, in particular, should contain solventstabilizing components.
The pH value is an important indicator for the quality of the solvent. In a well-run operation, the
value should be determined once a month as a matter of course.
Solvent care is an essential factor in the reliability and long-life of the machine and in the quality of
the cleaning that the garments receive. It includes routine maintenance of the still and water
separator and the use of quality products.
Because of the small amount of solvent used, we recommend that you add neutralizing, acidbinding adsorbents to the still as preventive neutralization. (See Point 11.5.6
- Determining the pH Value:
Remove a few cm
separator and place in a test tube. Then dip the indicator
paper into the water and determine the pH value by using the
comparison scale. It is not possible to measure the solvent
directly.
pH value
under 5 Solvent highly acidic Replace solvent
5 - 6 Solvent slightly acidic Neutralize the solvent
7 - 9 Good solvent condition
over 9 Solvent alkaline Determine the cause and correct
Possible causes of an acidic reaction:
- Instable solvent
- Steam temperature too high (solvent decomposition with acid formation)
- Unwanted addition of acids
- Incorrect solvent
- Bad quality of the solvent - new garments
Possible causes of alkaline reaction:
- Highly alkaline pre-spotter or chemical additives
(nitrogen compounds, ammonia),
- Overstabilized solvent,
- Garments containing a high level of sweat.
