Application Instruction
1. For dosage refer to the table.
2. Empty cylinder.
3. Purge some neutral material to remove the residual color/contamination.
4. Fill hopper with Lusin® Clean G 301 and plasticize it through the cylinder using the processing temperature of the previous material.
5. When Lusin® Clean G 301 comes out of the cylinder, stop the screw and let the material react for ten minutes.
6. After this period, plasticize the remaining Lusin® Clean G 301 with a high screw speed. During that process open and close the die several times.
Note: Steps 4 to 6 can be repeated in case of strong contamination.
7. After successful cleaning, place the new material into the hopper. Set machine at the correct processing temperature for the new material.
8. Eject the rest of the cleaner and run normal production.
When used as a preventative maintenance product, leave the G 301 inside the barrel and the head during the weekend and /or shutdown as it will help protect against carbon build up and improve start up efficiency.
