Drying phases
The cleaning machine with Slimsorba has the following drying phases:
- Drying: Drying circuit in the machine.
Time: 12 min. + x (extension)
This process is governed by the drying controller and the drum temperature
sensor
- Reduction: Drying circuit in the machine
Time: 2 min.
- Adsorption. Execution of the air circuit: Back wall of cage – Slimsorba fan –
air filter - carbon container - cage entry.
The airshaft is cut off by flaps and the refrigeration is turned off.
Time: 4 min. fixed time + 2 min. (Spec. code)
Adsorption phase
Adsorption is the last phase in the cleaning cycle program sequence; it reduces the solvent
concentration in the cage at the end of the cycle to a level of, for example, < 2 g perc per m
3
air.

Adsorption is a time-controlled process resp. concentration controlled (with measuring device), and
the temperature at the bottom of the carbon bed is monitored.
After the predefined or required number of cycles has been reached, desorption is performed in order
to regenerate the activated carbon.
