Branson Ultrasonics Ultrasonic Vapor Degreaser B452R

Lubricate pump motors with machine oil every 6 months.

The vertical air cylinder may occasionally require a few drops of mineral oil to lubricate the seals. Add lubricant if the lift lowers from an intermediate held position.

An air lubricator may be used on the incoming air supply. Oil residues will be discharged from the solenoid valve exhaust ports. The mufflers may be replaced by hoses exhausting to an oil trap to prevent oil accumulations or oil mists within the degreaser enclosure.

The cylinder may be lubricated directly:

• Raise the lift to the fully up position

• Remove the top exhaust flow control valve

• Place one or two squirts from an oil can into the port

• Replace the flow control valve and air hose

Desiccant is used with solvents containing alcohol or other additives that are soluble in water.

Consult the solvent manufacturer to determine if your solvent requires desiccant.

Desiccant must be tested routinely and changed when necessary. It may be regenerated and reused; check with the desiccant manufacturer for regeneration instructions.

The rate of desiccant exhaustion is determined by the amount of water introduced by the parts, the ambient humidity and the temperature of the condensing and cold trap coils.

Note: For maximum solvent and equipment life, do not allow the desiccant to become fully loaded with water. Change the desiccant before the desiccant test shows positive. Use the following guidelines to determine testing frequency for your local conditions. The guidelines also detail how to obtain the maximum life from the desiccant.

• Each working shift, test the solvent leaving the water separator until you can establish a baseline. For example: After testing the desiccant twice per shift and changing the desiccant three times, you may determine that the SHORTEST desiccant life is four days and the LONGEST desiccant life is six days.

• Revise your testing schedule. Continuing the example above: Test on the third day and then daily until the desiccant needs to be changed.

• If you observe free water in the desiccant chamber, then change the desiccant regardless of the test results.

Warning: Follow local regulations for disposal of residue.

Draining Water From Water Separator

Open the water separator water drain and collect the discharge into a container.

Filter bags are industry standard RBX-1 size (Trade size 3). Bags are available from the Branson Parts Department : 1 877-330-0406 ext 2065. Replacement 5mic Bag Filter CPN-163-018, other sizes are also available.

Clean filter bags when the recirculation flow is reduced or when the bag becomes 1/3 full of soil.

Replace filter bags if the fabric is damaged or if the pores become clogged with waxes.

• Close both the supply and return recirculation ball valves.

• Unfasten and remove the canister cover clamp.

• Remove the cover. Inspect o-ring gasket, replace if damage or kinked

• Replacement O-ring Teflon Enc Silicone CPN-142-210

Is the CONTAMINATION WARNING Indicator lighted but the degreaser has not shut down on B/S TEMP FAULT?

Remove 2-3 inches of solvent from the ultrasonic sump.

Did the degreaser shut down on B/S TEMP FAULT or B/S LEVEL FAULT?

Drain the solvent from the boil sump.

Refill the degreaser using the solvent removed in the first step. Add solvent as required.

Did you operate the degreaser for at least 4 hours to purify the solvent in the ultrasonic sump?

Did you shut off and lock out electrical power?
