MAINTENANCE
Digital Proportional Temperature Controllers
- These devices provide
precise control of temperature for the upper and lower heater platens
independently. They are calibrated at the factory and should not
need further adjustment.
Programmable Controller and Power Supply
- These units control
activation, deactivation, and timing of the various valves and lights
in the DPL. A program stored in memory is utilized to direct the
sequence of events. Custom programming can be accomplished by the
factory for specialized applications. Neither the controller nor the
power supply requires preventive maintenance.
Filter Regulator -
Normally, clean, filtered, dry air should be supplied to the machine.
The DPL-24, however, has an additional filter incorporated into the primary
regulator. This filter requires minimal maintenance.
(Open petcock and drain out
water occasionally! )
Diaphragm
- The 50 Durometer, .125" thick, Silicone Rubber Diaphragm is the major
wear item in the system. It is advisable to keep a replacement Diaphragm on-hand
in the event of a puncture or rupture. This unit is available “pre-punched” from the
factory. Cleaning of the Diaphragm is accomplished with Isopropyl Alcohol only.
Platen
- All work is pressed on this Vulcanized Rubber Platen. It is advisable to keep
a standby Platen on hand if replacement becomes necessary due to normal wear or
abrasion. Cleaning is accomplished either on or off the machine with a soft cloth,
moistened with Isopropyl Alcohol only.
