MANUAL - SOLVENT RECYCLERS - URS1600 SERIES, URS2000 SERIES & RI 80 Rev 2019-05
NOTE: If the bag sticks to the bottom of the tank, turn the recycler on for 5 minutes to loosen the bag from
the bottom of the tank, then lift the bag out while the bag is warm.
9) Clean Distillation Tank and Lid Surface
Distillation Tank:
Wipe inside the Tank with a cloth.
Remove any remaining debris from the Distillation Tank using if necessary, plastic or wooden tools (not
supplied). Do not clean with abrasive or hard metal instruments that can damage the tank. The warranty
does not cover such damage.
Note: There will be about 1/8 Gal (500 ml) of solvent remaining in the Distillation Tank after recycling due
to condensation. This solvent, If left in the tank, can cause corrosion. Dirt and debris left in the tank can
prevent full heat from reaching the dirty solvent during recycling.
Caution: Acidic or chlorinated solvents typically cause corrosion on an aluminum tank. It appears as
black pitting spots on the tank. Excessive pitting leads to an unsafe condition of holes in the walls of the
tank and solvent leakage. Inspect your tank after each batch. If there is excessive pitting, call a Service
Technician and replace the tank with a corrosive resistant, stainless steel one.
Lid Surface:
Use a cloth. Dry and clean the lid and the top of tank where the the Lid Gasket sits to extend the life of the
Lid Gasket and prevent leakage. Avoid rotating the lid during cleaning. The lid gasket is a wear item.
10) Install a new Liner Bag
Lift Recycler Safety Cover and Tank Lid fully; lids will stay in the open position.
a) Install the Liner Bag so that the bottom of the Bag sits fl at on the bottom of the Distillation Tank as
shown.
b) With thumb and index fi nger, squeeze the Retainer Ring and insert into inside of the Liner Bag. Let go
and make sure it fi ts securely in the groove.
d) Fold the fl ap of the liner bag over the retainer ring.
Caution: Ensure that the bag material does not block the Vapor Outlet.
NOTE: This is a schematic drawing only; not all components are exactly as shown.
11) Inspect Lid Gasket, Remove and Replace if necessary as required
Inspect the Lid Gasket for shrinking, hardness and cuts. The Lid Gasket is a wear item as it is exposed to
high temperature and solvent vapor during distillation. Damage to the lid gasket will cause solvent to leak.
To remove, open the Safety Cover and Tank Lid. Lift out the old gasket by hand and clean the cavity with
a cloth. To Install, place the new gasket in the cavity, rub solvent or soapy water on the gasket to make
insertion easier. Press the gasket fi rmly into the cavity all around.
Note: Keep a spare in stock. One extra is included with the unit.
