9.4.2 Rinsing with a purifying agent
After pre-purification by compressed air, residual liquid may still be present inside the fluid
system (particularly when dispensing high-viscous substances). It can only be removed by a
flushing procedure. For this purpose, the following examples may be suitable agents:
• Distilled water
• Ethanol
• Isopropanol (IPA)
• Acetone
WARNING
Potential chemical reactions
Before the start of the procedure, carefully read the safety data sheet of the dispensed substance.
Ensure compatibility with the cleaning agent.
The cleaning agent itself should not react with any part in contact with the fluid.
Consult the manufacturer in case of need, especially if you intend to use aggressive material.
Step 1:
– Complete the dispensing process. The valve is in closed position. Do NOT switch OFF the
control unit.
Step 2:
– Separate the compressed-air connection.
