Press cleaning

Leave the aspirator on and let air pass through the crystals to help them dry. You can put a thin rubber sheet, a rubber dam, over the funnel. The vacuum pulls it in and the crystals are pressed clean and dry. And you won t have air or moisture blowing through, and possibly decomposing, your product. Rubber dams are neat. 

Damage to the punches and dies should be avoided. Therefore, they should not be transported from place to place without protective package. During transportation, installation, and removal of tooling from the tablet press, cleaning, inspection, and storage, care must be taken to avoid hitting the tips of the punches. 

Rotary/platen press cleaning involves minimal exposure to only a few chemicals kerosene for the steel cylinder and a blanket wash for the rubber rollers. An aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide is used to clean many parts of the gravure press, whilst a typical cleanup solution will contain n-propyl acetate and toluene. Since the computerised presses now used in many larger establishments require little direct attention, solvents, inks and rubber gloves are responsible for most cases of dermatitis. 

Place the glass slide over the sticky side of the magnet and press. Clean up excess sealant and form sealant against the rim edge with flat toothpicks. 

In order to dry the crystals, the Buchner funnel is inverted over two or three thicknesses of drying paper (i.e., coarse-grained, smooth surfaced Alter paper) resting upon a pad of newspaper, and the crystalline cake is removed with the aid of a clean spatula several sheets of drying paper are placed on top and the crystals are pressed flrmly. If the sheets become too soiled by the mother liquor absorbed, the crystals should be transferred to fresh paper. The disadvantage of this method of rapid drying is that the recrystallised product is liable to become contaminated with the Alter paper flbre.

The vertical recessed plate automatic press is shown schematically in Figure 15. Unlike the conventional filter press with plates hanging down and linked in a horizontal direction, this filter press has the plates in a horizontal plane placed one upon another. This design offers semicontinuous operation, saving in floor space, and easy cleaning of the cloth, but it allows only the lower face of each chamber to be used for filtration. 

The Bucher-Guyer horizontal rotary press is a highly automated batch process machine that requires no press aid. The press consists of a horizontal hydrauhc ram inside a rotating cylinder containing many flexible rods covered with a knitted synthetic fabric. The rods have serrated surfaces to allow juice which passes through the fabric to flow to the discharge ends. Hydrauhc pressure is apphed for a preset time, the ram is retracted, and the cylinder is rotated to break up the press cake. This cycle is repeated several times before the press cake is removed from the cylinder and the press is cleaned (16). Juice yield for this horizontal rotary press is 84% with secondary water addition it is increased to 92% (15).

Most talc sold to paper, ceramics, and other industrial customers is manufactured to specifications agreed to between the producer and consumer. In paper, properties such as color, abrasion, surface area, and tint ate most important, whereas in ceramics, oxide chemistry, fired color, pressing characteristics, and alkaH metal content ate mote important. There ate some military specifications for talc used in corrosive coatings (6) and for cosmetic talc products used for cleaning of personnel in chemical warfare zones (7).
