2. PRODUCT INFORMATION
2.1 Use for the Intended Purpose
The function of the Dürr Amalgam Separator is
to separate and intercept heavy metals and
amalgam dust drawn off by dental suction
equipment in the form of fillings that have
been drilled open.
The amalgam separator is intended for
installation of a maximum number of two
treatment units in dental surgeries or dental
clinics.
Any other use or use beyond what is
specified is deemed to be not for the intended
purpose. The manufacturer accepts no liability
2.2 Use other than that for the
Intended Purpose
Any other use or use beyond what is
specified is deemed to be not for the intended
purpose. The manufacturer accepts no liability
for damage resulting therefrom. All risk is
borne solely by the user.
2.3 Product Description
Among other substances, heavy metals and
amalgam dust accumulate, drawn off by
dental suction equipment in the form of fillings
that have been drilled out. Biodegradation of
amalgam that has found its way into the
waste-water system is a difficult undertaking.
To reduce contamination in waste water
caused by heavy metal stemming from dental
treatment equipment, it is essential - in
compliance with the General Sewage Administration Regulations (Annex 50, Dental
Treatment) in force in Germany - to install
amalgam separators ahead of the dental
waste-water drain furnished with a seal of
approval issued by the German Institute of
Structural Engineering in Berlin.
The AZ 50 Amalgam Separator has been
designed by Dürr Dental to produce the
required separation efficiency factor of over 95%
proceeding based on a rate of flow of 8 ltr./min.
Amalgam slurry is intercepted in an amalgam
collecting vessel underneath the centrifuge
drum. Depending on the volume accumulating,
the amalgam collecting vessel needs replacing
once or twice a year.
The AZ 50
used in conjunction with a Dürr Suction Unit
VS 300.

employed in connection with water ring pumps.
