Necessary Operating Materials and Chemical Additives
Dear Customer,
In order to prevent any delays in the commissioning of your M21/M26/M30
drycleaning machine, we ask you to make sure that the following operating materials
and chemical additives are available.
- Solvent
The solvents used must have a flash point that is higher than the temperature stated
on the machine nameplate. The polycyclic aromatic compound content is not allowed
to exceed 0.01% by weight. The solvent must be heat-resistant under operating
conditions.
The solvent flash point must be checked every six months.
We recommend that only fresh solvent should be used in order to avoid contamination
through dirt, foreign substances and smells.
Total filling amount for the first filling: M21: approx. 445 l (118 US gal)*
M26: approx. 510 l (135 US gal)*
M30: approx. 565 l (149 US gal)*
Tank I: Minimum filling volume: M21: 110 l (29 US gal)
M26: 135 l (36 US gal)
M30: 155 l (41 US gal)
* Machine with 1 economy filter.
For machines with 2 economy filters: + 50 l (13 US gal)
For machines with 2 economy filters and 1 cartridge filter: + 75 l (20 US gal)
For machines with 2 economy filters and 2 cartridge filter: + 90 l (24 US gal)
- Chemical additives
The chemical additives used must be halogen-free and must have a flash point that is
higher than the temperature stated on the machine nameplate. The polycyclic aromatic
compound content is not allowed to exceed 0.01% by weight. The chemical additives must
be heat-resistant under operating conditions.
Depending on the equipment, the following should be available:
-Drycleaning detergent
-Waterproofing agent
- Pre- and post-spotting agents

Attention !
Important information regarding solvents
When delivered, this machine is released only for the solvent specified on the nameplate.
At the time this manual was printed, the following statements are valid:
It is generally possible to use the following solvents.
Cyclosiloxane (such as GreenEarth) with a flash point > 75° C (167° F)
Hydrocarbons (such as DF 2000) with a flash point > 60° C (140° F)
Hydrocarbons (such as Total TDC 3 or others) with a flash point > 55° C (131° F)
Solvon K4 (Kreussler) with a flash point > 60°C
HiGlo (Christeyns) with a flash point > 60°C
Intense (Seitz) with a flash point > 60°C
The use of the solvent perchlorethylene is not permitted!
The following must be observed in this regard:
If you plan to use the machine with a solvent whose data differs from that given on the
machine nameplate, you must first consult with BÖWE and obtain its written authorization.
This will necessitate different software and a different nameplate.
Permission to operate the machine becomes invalid in case of non-compliance!
