Solmetex NXT Hg5 Amalgam Separator Maintenance Guide
Recently, we wrote an overview about the line of Solmetex NXT Hg5 Amalgam Separators, which you can read here on our website. These machines are a great addition to any dental
practice, and help clean up the waste water in dental water lines. As we do with anything else, now we move on to the guides for proper use of your unit. We’ve already covered the installation guide for the Solmetex NXT Hg5 Amalgam Separator here. So in this article, we’ll go over the Solmetex NXT Hg5 Amalgam Separator maintenance instructions. This maintenance guide is meant to service the standard size NXT Hg5 Amalgam Separator. This specific separator accommodates up to 10 operators and services between 1 and 10 chairs in your practice.
Collection Container
Your collection container must be changed once every twelve
(12) months or when the sediment level reaches the full line, whichever occurs first. Check the sediment level of the collection container weekly. Be sure to remove the two red plugs in the new collection container before attaching to the system.
Maintenance
Line rinsing and vacuum line cleaners – cleaners should be deodorizing, sanitizing and have a pH greater than 6 and less than or equal to 8.
Using line cleaners outside of this pH range will void the warranty.
With Dental Vacuum Systems: Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
Plan to rinse no more than 5 chairs every 10 minutes. Limit the total maximum flow to the NXT Hg5® during rinsing to 1 liter per minute. Rinsing too much or too rapidly can overfill the NXT Hg5® and could affect the unit’s efficiency.
