10. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
Raising and lowering the front panel
To raise the front panel:
1. Lift the front panel outward and upward.
2. Raise it evenly and secure it to its brackets.
To lower the front panel, raise it slightly to release
its hooks, tilt it outward and lower it.
Removing the front panel
To remove the front panel:
1. Lift the panel outward.
2. Tilt the panel to one side.
This releases the rollers from the right/left roller
tracks.
Compressed air
To prevent pressure drops, the air line and
couplings must be adequately dimensioned. The
regulator of this unit is preset to 6.5bar (100psi).
This setting must not be altered.
The unit must be connected to compressed air of
7–12bar (110–180psi). When in use, the unit uses
150liters/minute (6cfm) of air. However, when
the built-in ventilation is operating, the unit uses
450liters/minute (16cfm).
The compressed air must be clean and dry
according to ISO 8573-1, Class 3.4.3 or better. Any
pollutions in the compressed air will invalidate any
warranty claims.
Connect the air supply to the 1/4” fitting. The air
line can be routed to this point through the slots
on the side of the unit or through the back of the
unit.

Source high-speed extraction to capture harmful
emissions close to their source, minimizing user
exposure and solvent loss. The discreet vents
of Hedson’s Capture@Source help keeping the
workspace open and easily accessible.
The unit can be ventilated in two ways. For both
options, the air flow speed at the opening of the
hood must comply with local laws and regulations.
Warning!
• The ventilation must be connected so that all
parts are grounded.
Option 1: If using the built-in ventilation nozzle,
connect the flange of the hood(1) to a ventilation
system approved for Zone1.
Option 2: Connect the hood to an ATEX approved
electric ventilator using a metal ducting. The
exhaust from the ventilator must be led outdoors.
When using a central ventilations system the built
in pneumatic extractor can be disconnected in
order to reduce compressed air consumption.

20. COAGULATION PROCESS
The coagulation process makes it possible to
reuse cleaning water.
Note! Check with the appropriate authority
whether filtered water from the coagulation
process may be emptied to the regular drain water
system. Information from the paint supplier may
be required.
There are three valves inside the manual sink for
waterborne paint, at the back wall.
Note! When vertical, these valves are closed.
The valves are marked as follows:
Symbol Function
Optional
Agitator/mixer
Stirs the water polluted
with paint to mix it with the
coagulation powder.
The mixer is optional.
Optional
Pump
Starts the pump for the optional
drain outlet.
Symbol Function
Optional
Drain valve
Opens a valve in order for the
filtered water to be pumped to
a drain.
Note! The valve on the brush
must be closed.
Emptying the filter container
When the water level reaches the working
platform, it is time to perform the coagulation
process.
1. Raise the front panel and secure it to its
brackets.
2. Check that the filter container is empty. If not,
empty filtrate container by hand.
1. Optional: Units equipped with Water Valve
kit
2. Turn the drain valve to its open position.
3. Turn the ball valve on the brush in the manual
sink to a closed position (item4 in Manual
wash for waterborne paint).
4. Start draining by opening the valve for the
pump . The pump will drain the filtrate
container completely through the drain hose
and into the regular drain water system.
5. When the pump starts to run faster, the filtrate
container is empty. Close the valve for the
pump as well as for the drain ( and ).
Coagulation
Note! The coagulation process must form large
flocks of coagulated paint. If not, filters will
become obstructed and cannot be reused.
1. Remove the working platform (item3 in Manual
wash for waterborne paint).
2. Open the valve for the water agitator (or
optinal mixer ).
3. Add the coagulation powder as recommended
by the paint manufacturer.
4. Stir the powder with a stick for a moment to
avoid it sinking to the bottom in lumps.
5. Allow the agitator to run for a few
minutes.
6. Stop the agitator occasionally for approx.

30seconds to improve the process. Total
coagulation time is 3–4minutes.
7. Close the valve for the agitator (or mixer
).
Filtration
1. Open the drain valve at the bottom of the
manual sink and drain the sink completely into
the filter.
2. Clean the inside of the manual sink thoroughly
with the brush (with recycled water). Any
remains of residual flocks should be completely
drained into the filter.
3. Close the drain valve.
21. REPLACING FILTERS
Note! Only use original DRESTER main filters
and prefilters, since these are approved by paint
manufacturers.

Item Part
1 Prefilter
2 Main filter
3 Filtrate container
4 Strainer on suction pipe
The prefilter(1) collects most of the coagulated
sludge, while the main filter(2) collects finer paint
particles.
Remove the paint residues from the prefilter. Once
the paint residues are completely dry, they are
easy to remove. If the paint residues are removed
after each coagulation process, the prefilter can be
reused up to 10times.
The main filter will gradually become blocked
after trapping the finer paint particles. In general,
the main filter can be used for up to 5coagulation
processes. However, the main filter must be
changed every 1–2months to prevent bacterial
growth.
Note! Coagulation paint residue must be handled
according to regulations from the appropriate
authority. Information from the paint supplier may
be required.
22. CONSUMABLES
