Warranty
Reliability and a long service life are synonymous with the Formech brand. However, as with any machinery,
certain parts will require periodic replacement and regular maintenance and care will prolong machinery life.
Clamp seals
The silicone seals applied to the mould table and to the top aperture of the machine (clamp) are seen as
being consumable parts, their service life will depend on how the machine is treated and how often it is used.
The table and clamp seals are not covered by our warranty.
Heating elements
The Quartz infrared heating elements supplied with this machine are manufactured using quartz tube and
therefore may break or crack with impact or physical shock.
The Quartz heating elements contain internal filaments, which become extremely hot when power is applied.
The wire expands and contracts as it heats and cools.
Eventually, due to the continual expansion and contraction, the wire will fracture and a new element will be
needed. This may take 10 years or more. Because of this we are unable to apply our standard warranty to
Quartz heating elements. However our experience is that this form of infrared heating is durable, reliable and
more resilient to shock and impact than similar ceramic products.
The heating elements are not covered by our warranty.
Vacuum system
The vacuum system on this machine is fairly simple but uses high quality components throughout. The life
expectancy of the vacuum system will be compromised by the ingress of dirt, shavings, dust, liquid etc. A
cartridge filter is fitted to the vacuum pump inlet to prevent particle being drawn into the vacuum chamber.
Monitoring of the condition of the filtering system will prolong vacuum performance. Replace the filter if it
becomes degraded with dirt and particulate.
THE VACUUM CIRCUIT INCLUDING THE VACUUM PUMP WILL NOT BE COVERED BY OUR WAR-
RANTY IF THEY ARE FOUND TO BE BLOCKED WITH FOREIGN MATTER OR CORRODED BY THE
INGRESS OF LIQUID.
