Overview

This document is an instruction manual for the SystemOne® Models 501 and 571 Recycling Parts Washers. These units are designed for cleaning parts using a solvent and then recycling the dirty solvent through a distillation process.

Function Description

The SystemOne® Recycling Parts Washer is a device used for cleaning parts with a combustible liquid solvent and then recovering the clean solvent through distillation. The unit features a wash basin where parts are cleaned using a flow-through brush and spigot. Dirty solvent from the wash basin is then transferred to a distillation tank for purification. During the recycling process, the solvent is heated, vaporized, and then condensed back into a clean liquid, which is returned to the wash basin for reuse. This process significantly reduces waste and the need for frequent solvent replacement. The unit is equipped with safety features such as a fusible link assembly that allows the lid to close in case of fire, and a lockout period during the recycling process to prevent interruption.

Certifications:

  • ETL listed and conforms to UL 2208 (Standard for Solvent Distillation Units).
  • Certified to CAN/CSA C22.2 no.88.

Usage Features

The parts washer is designed for straightforward operation with several user-friendly features:

Wash Operation:

  • Power On/Off Button: Initiates and stops solvent flow through the spigot and flow-through brush. Solvent flow automatically stops after 15 minutes or can be manually stopped.
  • Lid with Latch: The lid can be held open during use, providing easy access to the wash basin.
  • Adjustable Nozzle: Allows users to center the solvent flow within the wash basin for effective cleaning.
  • Flow-Through Brush: Facilitates thorough cleaning of parts.
  • Strainer Basket: Helps prevent debris from entering the system.
  • Safety Precautions: Emphasizes wearing protective eyewear, gloves, clothing, and shoes; avoiding hot parts, aerosols, porous materials, and unventilated areas; and ensuring the unit is properly grounded.

Recycling Operation:

  • Recycle Button: Initiates the transfer of dirty solvent to the distillation tank and returns clean fluid to the wash basin. This transfer takes approximately 4 minutes.
  • Automatic Shut-off: The recycling process stops automatically once complete.
  • Lockout Period: A 1-hour lockout period prevents immediate restart of the recycling process after completion.
  • Temperature Indicator: Turns green when the machine has cooled down, indicating it is safe to drain residue.
  • Distillation Drain Knob: Used for periodic draining of residue from the distillation tank. A burn hazard warning is provided, advising users to wait until the unit cools down before handling the knob.

Maintenance Features

The manual outlines several aspects related to the maintenance and troubleshooting of the parts washer:

General Maintenance:

  • Residue Disposal: Users are responsible for draining and disposing of distillation residue according to local regulations.
  • Solvent Level Monitoring: A dipstick is used to monitor the fluid level when filling the reservoir.
  • Cleaning: The wash basin should be kept clean, and the brush should be placed inside the basin when not in use.
  • Debris Removal: Instructions are provided for removing debris around the pneumatic cylinder under the wash basin false floors to ensure proper solvent drainage.
  • Troubleshooting Guide: A comprehensive table helps users diagnose and resolve common issues such as the wash pump not running, no solvent flow, recycle process not starting, solvent not staying in the wash basin, loud vacuum pump, wash basin overfill, and machine beeping. Solutions often involve checking power connections, solvent levels, and contacting customer service.

Service and Warranty:

  • Authorized Service: Service should only be performed by an authorized technician to prevent electric shock or serious injury.
  • Warranty: The manufacturer provides a five-year warranty on parts and workmanship, ensuring the equipment is free of defects and performs according to specifications.
  • Warranty Voidance: Modification of the equipment will void the manufacturer's warranty.
  • Environmental Responsibility: Equipment owners are responsible for establishing waste characteristics of their waste stream and ensuring proper disposal of distillation residue in accordance with local, state, and EPA regulations.
  • Limited Warranty: The warranty does not cover damages resulting from failure to follow instructions, unauthorized modifications, accidents, abuse, misuse, or acts of God. It explicitly disclaims other express or implied warranties, including merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
  • Limitation of Liability: The manufacturer's liability for claims, losses, or damages is limited to direct damages proven, repair/replacement cost, or lease payoff/purchase price, and does not cover incidental, special, punitive, exemplary, reliance, consequential, or indirect losses.
