7. Clean Camera mirror(s), insides of Illumination unit windows (detection zone 1 & 2):
(Check once every month, and only clean when necessary)
- 1. Make sure all other cleaning nearby is fi nished before opening the doors to the inside of the
sorter unit.
- 2. Check the state of the mirrors and of the Illumination windows inside the sorter unit and only
clean with a soft dry and clean cloth if necessary.
Attention! - When cleaning mirror(s), please pay attention not to move or turn the mirror
in any way. Do not press too hard on the mirror surface!
If any mirror is moved, this may completely ruin camera focus and severely
affect sorting effi ciency.
- In optimal conditions (doors are kept closed as much as possible, machine
is cleaned regularly, ...) the mirrors should stay clean and almost never need
cleaning.
8. Cleaning of the Laser Window (if present): (every shift)
- For more info on cleaning and replacing the laser window, see chapter 8: the Laser Box.
9. Cleaning of FSV-module (if present): (check daily)
- For more info on cleaning the FSV-module see chapter 9: the FSV-module.
10. Clean the Cooling unit (chiller) (if present):
- 1. Clean the condenser fi ns of the cooling unit with low pressure air (at least once every 6 months,
more when processing very dusty product).
- 2. When the air inlet of the cooling unit is equipped with fi lters, these must be checked every shift,
and cleaned or replaced when necessary.
- 3. Depending on your cooling unit type, certain additional maintenance tasks may be advisable,
please check the Cooling manual included in the attachments chapter of your sorter user manual.
11. After the entire installation has been cleaned with water, it is advisable to activate all air gun valves
for +/- 5 seconds (see 7.4.1. Air Gun Draining and Test procedure) to ensure no water remains in the
air gun valves.
