Start-Up & Shut-Down:
DAILY SHUT-DOWN:
1. For shut-down, the fluid pump shafts should be in the bottom of the stroke to
avoid any material from drying on the shafts. Not following this procedure will
have a great effect on piston rod seal life. Set the Select switch to Recirc.
Turn the Start / Stop switch to Stop just before the pumps reach the bottom
reversal.
2. Flush both A & B side of the mix chamber into a waste container and air purge
dry.

completely cleaned of metered materials.

housing for shut-down every day however the static mixer should always be
removed for daily shut-down.

pressure and then close.
