SCHEU BIOSTAR - Pressure Molding Procedure

Swing the heating element from its rest position

over the material (curved red arrow) on the

pressure chamber. When the heater is placed

over the material, the heating element illuminates

and the set heating time begins.

With 5 seconds remaining in the heating phase,

warning beeps will sound. Once the heating time

has elapsed, the beeping will be continuous until

the heater is removed from the material.

Material heating times will vary based on compound, color, and thickness. Recommended heating

times are identied on an easy-to-scan barcode strip inside each box of Great Lakes material, and

printed directly on Scheu material. If the proper adaptation is not obtained, it may be necessary to

extend or decrease the recommended heating times by 5-15 seconds.

Note: To ensure a tight seal between the pressure chamber and the cup, pellets should be

completely removed from around the rim.

Pressure Molding Process

After the recommended time is reached, swing

the heating element (A) back to the rest position

(left curved red arrow) and gently ip the pressure

chamber (B) onto the cup (center curved red

arrow). Turn the locking handle (C) from the straight

back rest position 180º toward the front of the

machine (right curved red arrow) until it locks.

This secures the chamber over the cup and allows

air pressure to enter the chamber. The pressure

chamber will not lock in place if pellets, interference,

or improper cup/platform alignment is not obtained.

Once the air pressure is turned on, the digital clock

on the LCD display panel (D) will automatically

initiate a cool-down time. At this point, the material

has been formed over the model and is cooling

under pressure.

At the end of the cooling time, short beeps will

sound. Press the Air button (E) on the control panel

to release the air pressure from the chamber.

Short beeps will sound indicating full pressure

evacuation. If a shorter cooling cycle is required,

the programmed time can be erased and chamber

evacuated by turning o the power switch.
