7620 WASHER
1. General Description

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION
The Castle 7620 Washer is a compact unit designed
to clean surgical instruments, laboratory glassware,
metalware and utensils. It may be installed on a work
counter, under a counter, or on a freestanding base
cabinet.
The unit features a 20"W x 20"D x 15"H load area
within its wash chamber. A fixed track assembly and
a removable grid are provided as standard
equipment. When in position, the grid will support a
20" x 20" (or smaller) utensil basket, instrument tray,
or assorted loose items. With the grid removed, the
fixed track assembly will support a compatible roll-out
basket grid, or various sized Spindle Headers.
Wash and rinse spray treatments are provided by
means of two spinning manifolds, one located above
and one below the load area. When used, a Spindle
Header coupled directly to the high pressure
plumbing system effectively subjects the interior of
ware to the wash and rinse spray treatments.
Processing cycles are controlled by a programmable
microprocessor-based controller that will store four
pre-programmed cycles. The operator needs only to
select and start an appropriate cycle.
Standard cycle phases provide for a Prewash, a
Wash, and two successive tap water Rinse
treatments followed by a third and final Rinse of
purified water (DI). As an optional treatment,
instrument lubricant (MILK) may be incorporated into
the final Rinse.
All treatment solutions are used once and drained.

water down over the load.
Spinning Manifold: Bottom
Delivers a rotary spray of detergent and rinse
water up against the load.
Spindle Header Coupling (Option)
Enables the connection of hollow tube
Spindle Headers to the detergent and rinse
water plumbing system for the purpose of
subjecting the interior of ware to processing
treatments. When Headers are not used a
check valve within the Coupling automatically
closes so that pressurized treatments are
delivered through the spinning manifolds
only.
Water Fill Port
Point at which the fresh water supply empties
into the chamber for the purpose of filling the
Reservoir Tank.
Detergent Port
Point at which the liquid detergent is
dispensed into the chamber.
Item Lubricant Port (Option)
Point at which the item lubricant (Milk) is
dispensed into the chamber - when that
option is provided.
Reservoir Tank
Alternately holds the detergent and rinse
water supplies during a processing cycle.
Capacity: 2-1/2 gallons.
Drain Screen
Prevents large particles of foreign matter
from being carried into the Reservoir Tank.
The Screen can be removed by hand.

Provides a door-to-chamber seal when the
door is in the closed position.
Bottom Grid
A removable support designed to hold an
instrument tray, basket, or loose items during
Washer operation.
Tracks Support the Bottom Grid. When the Grid is
removed, the Tracks will accept a Spindle
Header, or compatible roll-out Grid.
Overflow Sensor
Turns on the Washer's drain pump should
one or more of the system's water fill
components fail and an overflow condition
result. See also: OVERFLOW MODE, page

PROCESSING CYCLE DESCRIPTION
The following is a description of the cycle phases
available with the 7620 Washer, in the order in which
they are programmed to function.
Prewash
Reservoir tank is filled with cold water. When
tank is full, phase timing starts. Load is
subjected to a recirculated, unheated water
spray for the purpose of removing as much
soil as possible prior to the use of the Alkali
Wash detergent. When timing ends, the
reservoir tank is drained. (Use of hot water
instead of cold may be provided as an
option.)
The duration of this phase (0 - 600 seconds)
is programmed at the Controller.
Wash Reservoir tank is refilled with heated water.
Phase timing starts - detergent is
automatically dispensed into the tank. Load
is subjected to a recirculated detergent
solution spray for the purpose of
loosening/removing any soil that remains
following the Prewash phase. Solution
temperature is maintained by the reservoir
heating system. When timing ends, the
reservoir tank is drained.
The duration of this phase (120 - 600
seconds) and solution temperature (140-180
degrees F) are programmed at the Controller.
Rinse-1Reservoir tank is refilled with hot water.
Phase timing starts. Load is subjected to a
recirculated rinse water spray for the purpose
of removing any residue of detergent solution
and loosened soil. Water temperature is not
maintained by the reservoir heating system.
When timing ends, the reservoir tank is
drained.
The duration of this phase (0 - 600 seconds)
is programmed at the Controller.
Rinse-2Reservoir tank is refilled with hot water.
Phase timing starts. Load is subjected to a
second recirculated rinse water spray for the
purpose of removing any residue of detergent
solution and loosened soil. Water
temperature is maintained by the reservoir
heating system. When timing ends, the
reservoir tank is drained.
The duration of this phase (0 - 600 seconds)
and water temperature (140-180 degrees F)
are programmed at the Controller.
Final Rinse
Reservoir tank is refilled with purified (DI)
water. Phase timing starts. Load is
subjected to a recirculated purified water
spray for the purpose of removing any rinse
water contaminants. Water temperature is
maintained by the reservoir heating system.
If water temperature should drop below
setpoint, timing will be suspended until the
water is heated back to setpoint. When
timing ends, the reservoir tank is drained.
The duration of this phase (60 - 600 seconds)
and water temperature (140-180 degrees F)
are programmed at the Controller.
Final Rinse Options:
•Water supply may be tap water instead of purified
water.
•Instrument Lubricant may be dispensed into the
recirculating rinse water. This would occur during
the final 20 seconds (recommended) of the
phase.
CoolingWasher stands idle for a 30-second period of
draining and cooling.
A processing cycle will end and the
alarm will sound at the conclusion of
Cooling.
