Draining off dirt and ferrous impurities
The dirt separator collection chamber has a drain valve. Using the handle provided it is possible to
drain off the accumulated dirt particles even with the system in operation.
For the brass and steel 5461 series DISCALDIRTMAG
®
, captured ferrous impurities are easily flushed
by unclamping the magnetic
collar and purging.
To purge the ferrous impurities in the steel 546 and
NA546 series DISCALDIRTMAG
®
, the flexible magnetic
stack is removed from the brass dry-well and, with the
system still running, the drain valve is opened. Aided
by the system pressure, the dirt and ferrous impurities,
including magnetite, flushes out quickly and effectively.
