CHAPTER 1
H.I.S. PUMPING SYSTEM-START UP AND OPERATION
Your Impregnator system is normally equipped with a Venus High Volume H.I.S. polyester dispensing
unit. This unit is capable of up to 40 lbs. Of resin per minute output; catalyzed from .25 to 1.25% by
volume. To put the dispensing system into operation, follow procedures outlined below.
NOTE: On models where pump is remote from unit, such as the bridge crane model, a second
person will be required to charge the system in an expedient manner.
CAUTION: When working around pressurized H.I.S. system, safety glasses should be worn at
all times.
SOLVENT MATERIAL SUPPLY
1. Check all hose connections. They must be pressure tight, no possible leaks.
2. Fill flush tank approximately ¾ full of the proper solvent. (Methylene chloride preferred).
3. Pressurize tank to 35 to 45 PSI.
4. Flush gun by pushing valve operator button on top of automatic gun block. Solvent flush should
flow freely from mix chamber of gun. If no solvent is forthcoming, check for proper air pressure,
obstructions in solvent line or gun head, or that the in and out hose connections have not been
reversed on pressure tank.
5. When solvent is available at gun head for flushing unit, then and only then, proceed to charge
system with resin.
