7.1 Tanks 7.1
The work tank contains solvent, which is used over and over.
The solvent is pumped from the work tank to the cage. If there is not enough solvent in the work
tank, fresh solvent is taken from the clean tank. After the garments have been cleaned, the solvent is
pumped back to the work tank or to the distillation.
Tank 3 is an extra tank for special applications. If an optional second centrifuge filter is used, this is
allocated to the third tank. This permits separate cleaning of light and dark products.
Clean solvent that is recovered from the 2
nd
fraction of the distillation is in the clean tank. When the
clean tank overflows, it fills up the work tank again.
Sacrificial anodes in the tanks protect against corrosion.
