3 Application

The Polyquick 260 is a pressure polymerisation unit for hot and cold polymerisation of
plastics. It can be set to a maximum temperature of 105°C and the polymerisation
pressure can be adjusted to a maximum of 5 bar. In automatic mode, the polymerisation
time can be preselected up to 99 hours. It has a particularly large pressure pot volume and
can hence also accommodate extra large articulators or up to 6 brass flasks including
clamp. A touch screen and the newly developed control panel allow the user to set the
relevant parameters quickly and easily using self-explanatory symbols. The Polyquick 260
can also be used as a pressure compactor without heating.

Only use the device for this type of application.

 4 Before starting

4.1 Transport

Before transporting the unit, ensure that it has been unplugged from the power socket.
Make sure that it is packed correctly in order to avoid accidental damage.

Be sure to check for any transport damage when unpacking the goods. Note
down any damage if found.

4.2 Installation

Open the box, remove the packing materials, and carefully lift out the device and
accessories. Check the included accessories.
The device has to stand horizontally on a steady and even surface.

Install the device in a place where it will not block the working area and the
functionality (take the dimensions into account).

Do not install the unit outdoors or in places without proper ventilation.

Before start-up, be sure the device reaches room temperature.

It is advisable to install the device firmly on the drainage system, since very hot
water can drain off from it. This also simplifies the process of complete
emptying, e.g. for cleaning.

4.3 Storage

If the unit is to be stored for an extended period, protect it from moisture and dust.

7
 5 Installation / Start-up

Before commissioning, please install the following connections:

Install the pressure hose included in the scope of supply and provide for an
appropriate outlet.
After setting the workpiece, fill the device with tap water, at most up to the engraving in the
tank. Establish a pneumatic connection of minimum 2 bar. If the pneumatic pipe is long,
pay attention to the hose cross-section (internal diameter min. 6 mm). Every pneumatic
pipe must always have a maintenance unit. Ensure a constant pressure by using the
pressure reducer.
Finally, insert the plug into the socket – make sure that the voltage specification of the
device and the mains network is identical.

Never operate the device without water, since the heating unit immediately
heats up to 60°C or to the preheating temperature when the power switch is
activated. If required, the heating unit can be switched off via the display.

5.1 Setting the correct pressure

Before filling the tank, remove the accessories and set the correct polymerisation
pressure. Proceed as follows (image, see 5.2):

1. Activate main switch (green rocker switch).

2. Close lid.
3. Touch the Pressure key 5 (image, see 5.2). (4.0 bar default).
4. If the pressure is very less (min. 2 bar), increase the pressure (max.5 bar) using the
black regulator on the back side. Release the regulator by pulling to do the setting
and press it in once again.
5. If the pressure is too high, switch off the pressure 5 (image, see 5.2) and release
the pressure. Turn the pressure regulator on the back side in the "minus" direction
several times; then, apply pressure to the tank. You can set the desired pressure by
turning the regulator in the "plus" direction (max. 5 bar)

8
5.2 Start-up

Define the unit's main parameters before switching it on. These settings are performed in
the Set-Up Menu 3 . Familiarise yourself with the system's various options before
starting the polymerisation process. This particularly applies to functions 7 and 14 .
(Please see „setup menu page 1“ on page 10 of this manual).

7 Preheating temperature

Defines the target temperature once the main switch has been activated. The pre-heat
temperature also applies to waiting times and rest periods. Default: 60°C

If the programme temperature selected is higher, the temperature reverts back

to this value when the programme ends.

After defining the desired working mode 14 , it may make sense to adjust the pre-heat
temperature of the programme temperature. This avoids long heat-up or cool-down
phases.

8 Clock timer

This defines the weekday activation and deactivation times.

12
Programs running currently have a higher priority; they are not switched off until complete.

10 Sleep button display

When you press the Sleep button, the device goes into the Sleep mode (all functions
except the Timer function are switched off). The device gets actuated when you press the
touch display or with the timer and heats up or cools down to the preset pre-heating
temperature.

 14 Selection of the working mode

Defines whether the polymerisation process should start immediately or only after the
heating value has been reached.

(a) (Default) The device heats to the temperature programmed under 6 . After reaching
this value, the result measured is validated by a control cycle. If the value is confirmed, the
wax polymerisation process will start.

(b) The programmed polymerization begins immediately.
