Solmetex NXT DryVac Maintenance Guide
We released an article going over one of Solmetex’s new products that we now carry. Their NXT DryVac Tankless Dry Vaccum. An innovative approach that’ll change the way we
look at dental water line vacuum systems. And in line with our usual practice, we released an overview of the unit which you can find here, and learn more about Solmetex and their fascinating new device. So now we move on to our guides, and we’ve already uploaded installation and operation guides. This article will go over the Solmetex NXT DryVac Maintenance Guide. These maintenance instructions are directly from the manufacturer in the standard manual that comes with each unit. Preventative maintenance performed properly and promptly helps to ensure the working efficiency and longevity of your unit.
The Maintenance Guide
This section is dedicated to the maintenance instructions provided by Solmetex for your NXT DryVac system.
Once daily, clean vacuum lines with PowerScrub Vacuum Line Cleaner. Ideally, cleaning with PowerScrub should be carried out before longer periods of downtimes of the dental unit.
It is recommended that the cuspidor should also be rinsed out daily with PowerScrub Vacuum Line Cleaner.
Cleaning of the Filters
The filters must be cleaned at least once a week. However, depending on the method of working, this may be necessary every day. A clogged prefilter is perceivable by a reduction of suction power.
- The filter at the suction tube holder, at the dental unit, cuspidor bowl (only if present)
- The vacuum filter (vacuum trap) on the suction machine
NOTE: Any residues from the prefilter, which might contain amalgam, must be disposed according to the local codes.
Exhaust air filter
The exhaust air bio-filter must be used if not discharged outdoors. Change once per year (only if present).
A yearly maintenance of the NXT DryVac is required
Yearly maintenance kit (item no: DRYVAC-NXT-MTK)
