7.21 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 system on 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 from parts that are
not insulated.
The Slimsorba is heated with steam or electrically with a separate steam generator (6kW).
The main components of the Slimsorba are:
- Carbon container with carbon filling for adsorption
- Heater battery
- Fan
- Sensors
- Connecting pipes
The drycleaner has three desorption options:
1. Parallel desorption during the cycle:
When the display reads "DESORB = 1" because the number of cycles entered in the
specification code as a fixed value has been reached (set to 30 at the factory for steam
heated and 25 for electrically heated).
Start the parallel desorption with "E" or "1".
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.
Example:

P2
DESORB=1
Program "P2" and the parallel Slimsorba desorption start.
3. Desorption outside of the cycle by selecting maintenance program P41.
For points 1 and 2, the fact that it is time for desorption is automatically shown on the display. It is shown
as the remark "DESORB = 1".
Desorption takes place in parallel with a regular cleaning cycle. Only a little extra time is required for this
cycle because approximately 80% of the time needed for the 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 with hot air in an environmentally acceptable way. It does not result in any
process water that needs to be disposed of.
Recommendation:
(activated carbon must be filled in when the machine is commissioned)
and auxiliary heater battery to support the desorption
for hot air desorption
for moving the airflow
for temperature monitoring
