Transferring Fixture Material Remaining in the Reuse Pool to the Supply Pool

Transfer the fixture material remaining in the reuse pool to the supply pool and lower the table 10 mm (0.39 in.) below the highest position. If there is no fixture material in the reuse pool, only perform step 6.

Procedure
  1. Raise the reuse pool table to a position where it is easy to ladle out the fixture material.
    Exercise caution to prevent the fixture material from overflowing from the pool due to the table being raised too high.

  2. Place the inlet of the dust collector close to the supply pool, and then switch on the dust collector.
    IMPORTANT

    The dust collector is used to collect most of the fixture material that erroneously becomes airborne during work, preventing this material from spreading throughout the room.

    So that the fixture material in the supply pool is not suctioned by the dust collector, pay attention to the position of the inlet and to the suction power.

  3. Use a scoop to transfer the fixture material from the reuse pool to the supply pool.

    To prevent the powder from becoming airborne, do not drop the fixture material from a high position or suddenly tilt the scoop. Slowly tilt the scoop close to the fixture material in the supply pool.

    If it looks like the fixture material may overflow from the supply pool, lower the supply pool table.

    IMPORTANT

    If you find clumps of fixture material during this work, remove them with a scoop or a similar tool, and then pass these scoops through a sieve. Alternatively, pass all fixture material being transferred to another pool through a sieve finer than 100 mesh (mesh opening: 118 µm).

  4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to transfer the fixture material from the reuse pool to the supply pool.
  5. Switch off the dust collector and move it away from the machine.
    If you will continue by transferring fixture material from the molding pool to the supply pool, do not move the dust collector away from the machine.
  6. Lower the reuse pool table 10 mm (0.39 in.) below the highest position.
