Fiber Recoaters with Linear Proof Testers
11.3.4. Purge the Automatic Injection System
The purge cycle is a process of emptying the recoat material of the Automatic Injector back into the recoat material
bottle and refilling the pump with fresh recoat material drawn from the bottom of the bottle.
If the Recoater is not used in a high-volume application (less than 200 recoats per month), it is recommended that
the system be purged monthly in order to circulate fresh recoat material into the pump. Running 5 purge cycles is
sufficient to entirely fill the pump with fresh recoat material.
11.3.5. Flush Automatic Injection System
The recoat pumping system should be flushed clean every 6 months as part of the recoat material replacement
procedure. Before flushing the system, make sure to have lens tissue and cleaning solution (acetone or alcohol)
available prior to proceeding. To flush the system:
1. Remove the internal recoat bottle and clean all exposed tubing and fittings with acetone.
2. Install a bottle filled 3/4 full with acetone on the pump.
3. Run 5 purge cycles.
4. Remove the bottle and fill with clean acetone.
5. Run 5 more purge cycles.
