7.19 Slimsorba Adsorption Unit

(Optional equipment)
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 and all functional sequences run completely automatically
over the computer control of the drycleaning machine.
Because desorption takes place in parallel with a regular cleaning cycle, it requires only slightly more
time. The Slimsorba is desorbed with hot air. Attention: There is a risk of burns on parts that are not
insulated.
The Slimsorba is heated with steam.
The main components of the Slimsorba are:
- Carbon container with carbon filling for adsorption
(activated carbon must be filled in when the machine is commissioned) and auxiliary heating
battery to support the desorption
- Heater battery for hot air desorption
- Fan for moving the air flow
- Sensors for temperature monitoring
- Connecting pipes to the drycleaning machine
The drycleaner has three possibilities for desorption:
1. Parallel desorption during the cycle:
When the display reads "DESORB = 1" when the cycle number entered in the
specification code as a fixed value is reached (set at the factory at 25).
Start the parallel desorption with "E".
2. Parallel desorption during the cycle:
By entering 16E, you can choose at any time to perform the parallel desorption process
with the next cycle.
3. Desorption outside of the cycle by selecting maintenance program P41.
For points 1 and 2, you can tell that desorption is possible at this time because the remark
"DESORB = 1" appears on the display.
Desorption takes place in parallel with a regular cleaning cycle. Only a little extra time is required for this
cycle because about 80% of the time needed for desorption runs in parallel with the cleaning cycle. If
possible, you should not clean garments that are especially sensitive to mechanical stress with the
desorption cycle.
Desorption is performed in an environmentally acceptable way using hot air. It does not result in any
process water that needs to be disposed of.
Recommendation: After completion of the cycle with parallel desorption, you should remove
the lint filter and clean it.
