CFH -4000 Series Heater Manual SAFETY & WARNING INFORMATION: OPERATING YOUR POLYESTER SYSTEM SAFELY 1. Introduction Any tool, if used improperly, can be dangerous. Safety is ultimately the responsibility of those using the tool. In like manner, safe operation of polyester processes is the responsibility of those who use such processes and those who operate the equipment. This manual outlines procedures to be followed in conducting polyester operations safety.
CFH -4000 Series Heater Manual Extinguishing Media – Foam, Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Water Fog. Copies of the above bulletins are available, at a nominal charge from: National Fire Protection Association 470 Atlantic Avenue Boston, MA 02210 Research Report No.11 of the American Insurance Association deal with “Fire, Explosion and Health Hazards of Organic Peroxides”.
CFH -4000 Series Heater Manual 2.2 Catalyst (Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide) MEKP is among the more hazardous materials found in commercial channels. The safe handling of the “unstable (reactive)” chemicals presents a definite challenge to the plastics industry.
CFH -4000 Series Heater Manual E. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Protective equipment should be worn at all times. During clean-up of spilled MEKP, personal safety equipment, gloves and eye protection must be worn. Fire fighting equipment should be at hand and ready. F. Avoid spillage, which can heat up to the point of self-ignition. G.
CFH -4000 Series Heater Manual A. The reaction is unpredictable. Prior use of an HHC solvent without incident (corrosion or explosion) does NOT mean that such use is safe. These solvents can be dangerous alone (as a clean-up or flushing agent) or when used as a component or a coating material. There is no known inhibitor that is effective under all circumstances.
CFH -4000 Series Heater Manual 2.4 Catalyst Diluents Magnum Venus Plastech spray-up and gel-coat systems currently produced are designed so that catalyst diluents are not required. Magnum Venus Plastech, therefore, recommends that diluents not be used. This avoids the possible contamination which could lead to an explosion due to the handling and mixing of MEKP and diluents.
CFH -4000 Series Heater Manual 2.8 Treatment of Chemical Injuries Great care should be used in handling the chemicals (resins, catalyst and solvents) used in polyester systems. Such chemicals should be treated as if they hurt your skin and eyes and as if they are poison to your body. For this reason, Magnum Venus Plastech recommends the use of protective clothing and eye wear in using polyester systems. However, users should be prepared in the event of such an injury. Precautions include: 1.
CFH -4000 Series Heater Manual 3.0 Equipment Safety WARNING Magnum Venus Plastech suggest that personal safety equipment such as EYE GOGGLES, GLOVES, EAR PROTECTION, and RESPIRATORS be worn when servicing or operating this equipment. Ear protection should be worn when operating a fiberglass chopper to protect against hearing loss since noise levels can be as high as 116 dB (decibels).
CFH -4000 Series Heater Manual 3.2 Grounding Grounding an object means providing an adequate path for the flow of the electrical charge from the object to the ground. An adequate path is one that permits a charge to flow from the object fast enough that it will not accumulate to the extent that a spark can be formed. It is not possible to define exactly what will be an adequate path under all conditions since it depends on many variables.
CFH -4000 Series Heater Manual Introduction: The MVP Clean Flow Heater (CFH) is designed to allow higher flow rates, give better control over temperature change and boasts a new easy maintenance design. The CFH-4000 Heater is heated with a single 3000 watt cartridge type heating element, requiring 240 Volt, single phase electrical service at 15 amps. Material temperature is indicated on the thermometer on the outlet side of the heater. The bulb and capillary thermostat has a fluid filled bulb.

CFH -4000 Series Heater Manual Operations: To operate the CFH heater, just set the temperature control to mid-position or to the desired position if the setting is known. Heater is now ready. To preheat the CFH-4000-AI (system with air interlock) press the preheat button and hold until heater block feels warm to the touch. This insures resin is heated from startup to stop. If this system sets idle for a long period of time it may need to be preheated again before use.

CFH -4000 Series Heater Manual Maintenance: (Refer to Parts Drawings section in the back of this manual) 1. Periodically, the heater should be flushed out by pumping solvent through, especially with gel coat or filled resin systems. 2. Inspect electrical cord for wear or damage and repair or replace as necessary. 3. Inspect hoses attached to the heater for wear of damage and replace periodically. 4. Check heater and hoses for leaks and replace periodically.

CFH -4000 Series Heater Manual Troubleshooting: Two basic problems may occur with the MVP Resin Heater: • • Loss of electrical current or heat Material flow blockage or leakage. Loss of Electrical Current or Heat: 1. Indicator Light: If indicator light is not sequencing during operation, try preheat button to see if light comes on. If not, inspect bulb and replace if defective. Also, check diodes for continuity.
CFH -4000 Series Heater Manual CFH-4000-AI Air Interlock units: 7. Air Switch: Disconnect wires and check microswitch to ensure continuity through normally closed contacts when air supply is off. If there is no continuity, inspect air actuator to insure it is disengaging. If air actuator disengages properly, switch is faulty and must be replaced. Next apply air pressure (at least 30 psi) to air actuator. Check continuity through normally open contacts.
CFH -4000 Series Heater Manual Installation & Connections: NOTE: Because of the variety of electrical codes in various parts of the world, MVP does not supply connections to any of the heaters mentioned in this manual. The electrical connection should be made by a qualified electrician per codes of local jurisdiction. The end user is responsible for ensuring that the end product or system complies with all the relevant laws in the country where it is to be used and that all documentation is adhered to.
