Expected jar service life
The expected service life of Anoxomat Jars depends
on proper usage, frequency of processing, appropriate
cleaning/maintenance, and prevention of accidental
abuse. Under normal conditions a jar processed twice
per week has expected life of about five (5) years or
approximately 500 cycles.
It is important that jars are inspected frequently
(about once per month) for signs of excessive wear.
Also, closely inspect the jar if it fails the Jar Test or
Seal-Leak Test during processing. And finally, inspect
the jar if the Pump Time Exceeded or Fill Time Exceeded
message is displayed.
Deep, horizontal cracks, especially near the top, are
indications that the jar has been dropped or the clamps
have been tightened excessively. Fine, vertical cracks are
signs that the jar has been cleaned with alcohol.
Crack in jar
Immediately discontinue use of a jar if it shows
significant cracking or other signs of excessive wear.
