1 Features
Depending on your requirements, you can set the polymerisation time manually to the
maximum or automatically to a shorter period All functions are available in both cases
The polymerisation time is adjustable up to 59 hours and 40 minutes The maximum
pressure is 6 bar, and this is maintained by a non-return valve The required
polymerisation temperature can be set in 5 stages up to 95°C The heater cuts off
automatically when the set temperature is reached, so overheating is not possible The
unit has a dry-run safety device, which prevents it overheating, and a door safety switch,
which releases the compressed air only when the door is fully closed
•even polymerisation of up to 3 flasks in the flask holder or 2 cast resin flasks or
bottom feed mount and/or 6 settings
•fast emptying of hot water using compressed air and needle valve
•manual or timer-controlled operation according to requirements
•overpressure valve to protect against operational failures (7 bar)
•energy-saving holder thermal insulation
•durable, robust metal housing, plastic-powder-coated
•easy to use, very low maintenance

5 Application
The Polyquick is a pressure polymerisation unit for the hot and cold polymerisation of
plastics
It can be set to a maximum temperature of 95°C and a maximum polymerisation pressure
of 6 bar For automatic operation, you can select a polymerisation time between 2 minutes
and 59 hours 40 minutes; in manual mode, the polymerisation time is the maximum time
Only use the device for this type of application
6 Before Startin
6.1 Transport
Before transporting the unit, ensure that it has been unplugged from the power socket
Make sure that it is packed correctly in order to avoid accidental damage
Be sure to check for any transport damage when unpacking the goods Note down
any damage if found
6

6.2 Installation
Open the box, remove the packing materials, and carefully lift out the device and
accessories Check the included accessories
The device has to stand horizontally on a steady and even surface
Install the device in a place where it will not block the working area and the
functionality (take the dimensions into account)
Do not install the unit outdoors or in places without proper ventilation
Before start-up, be sure the device reaches room temperature
6.3 Stora e
The unit location is very important when it comes to workplace safety, even if it is only to
be set up there for a short period The room should be dry, well ventilated and vibration-
free An even temperature and wooden supports also help The unit should not be stored
or set up outdoors If the unit is to be stored for an extended period, protect it from
moisture and dust
7

7 Installation/ Start-up
Important!
Never operate the unit without water as the heater climbs immediately to 50°C
as soon as the power comes on
Before starting the unit, connect up the following:
•Connect up a compressed-air supply of at least 3.5 bar If using a long hose, make
sure its ID is at least 6 mm Provide each compressed-air hose with a maintenance
unit and use a regulator to set the pressure to a constant level
Finally, insert the power plug into the socket, making sure that the mains and the unit
operate on the same voltage
7.1 Settin the Correct Pressure
Before filling the container, you should remove the accessory and set the correct
polymerisation pressure To do so:
1 Turn on the main switch (green rocker switch)
2 Close the cover and check the door contact (6) control light is on
3 Turn off the heater switch (1); the red LED in the switch will go out
4 Switch on the pressure (2) and the Start/Stop switch (10) containing the red LED
The pressure is preset to 6 bar at the factory.
5 If the pressure is too low (min. 3.5 bar), increase it using the black control at the
rear of the unit (max 6 bar) You have to pull the control out to change it and then
push it in again
6 If the pressure is too hi h, turn off pressure switch (2) and let the pressure reduce
The pressure regulator at the rear of the unit must be turned several times in the
“minus“ direction Then, put the chamber under pressure The desired pressure,
(max. 6 bar), is set by turning the regulator in the “plus“ direction
7 Use the Start/Stop switch (10) to turn the unit off

8 Operation
8.1 General Operatin Instructions
All instructions for using the unit, whether in verbal or written form, are based on our own
experience and experimentation and can only be regarded as guidelines
8.2 Conversion table °C - °F
= (TF − 32) / 1,8
100 °C = 212 °F
95 °C = 203 °F
90 °C = 194 °F
85 °C = 185 °F
80 °C = 176 °F
75 °C = 167 °F
70 °C = 158 °F
65 °C = 149 °F
60 °C = 140 °F

Factory settings:
Heating 50°C
Time 10 min
Pressure 6 bar
Turnin on the main switch sets the pre-pro rammed heater temperature to 50°C.
This temperature is independent of any previously set temperature. When the set
temperature button (8) is pressed, the heater temperature is overridden and the unit
increases to the last set temperature.
Before startin the timer, allow a warm-up period of about 30 minutes.

8.5 Operation:
The polymerisation period must be set and either hot or cold and/or pressure
polymerisation chosen
8.5.1 Automatic Operation:
Set the program to the desired polymerisation time and temperature (see 6 2)
For hot polymerisation, press Heater (1); the yellow LED (lower) comes on while the
unit heats up
For pressure polymerisation, press Pressure (2)
After the unit has reached the selected temperature, press Start/Stop (10) to start
the program
When the program has finished, you will hear a 10-second tone to tell you that the
unit must be switched off by pressing Start/Stop (10)
The pressure is released when you press Start/Stop (10), but Heater (1) must
be pressed to turn off the heatin .
The lid can only be opened when the pressure au e reads 0.
Warnin : Scaldin risk with hot polymerisation.
Open the lid slowly!
12

8.5.2 Manual Operation:
Set the program to max time and the desired temperature (see 6 2)
For hot polymerisation, press Heater (1); the yellow LED (lower) comes on while the
unit heats up
For pressure polymerisation, press Pressure (2)
After the unit has reached the selected temperature, press Start/Stop (10) to start
the program
Polymerisation can be stopped at any time by pressing Start/Stop (10) There is no
audible signal
The pressure is released when you press Start/Stop (10), but Heater (1) must
be pressed to turn off the heatin .
The lid can only be opened when the pressure au e reads 0.
Warnin : Scaldin risk with hot polymerisation.
Open the lid slowly!
If the pressure in the compressed-air supply line drops durin the process, a
non-return valve will maintain the current pressure.
The pressure chamber can only be opened once the pressure has dropped
completely to 0.
The heater has a temperature safety device, which switches the heater off
automatically at about 112°C. It can only be started a ain once the unit has
cooled down. To do so, press the reddish-brown rubber knob on the left-hand
side of the housin – you’ll hear it click into place. The pro ram contains a
safety command inserted at the factory, which switches the heater off
automatically when the temperature exceeds 99°C.

8.6 Drainin the Water
Warnin : Before you drain the water, check that the drain hose ends in a bucket or
washbasin For your own safety, it should be fixed in place
!
Drain the water carefully as it can be very hot!
Procedure:
-Close the lid completely; LED (6) must go out
-Turn on main switch (green) and turn off Heater (1)
-Pressurise the chamber by pressing Pressure (2) and Start/Stop (10)
-Open the drain valve (black knob, lower left side) slowly
-After draining the water, press Start/Stop (10) and close the drain valve
-Turn the mains switch to "0"
