Should the cannula of the cartridge be plugged before putting it in the SADURR® masticbox?
Should the cannula of the cartridge be cleaned before inserting the cartridge into the SADURR® masticbox?
It is preferable to wipe the cannula before insertion in order to eliminate any residue that could come into contact with and adhere to the filter or to another constituent element of the SADURR® masticbox, requiring cleaning of the SADURR® masticbox during use. next.
Can any type of product in cartridge form be put in the SADURR® masticbox?
Yes, all types of products contained in the standard dispensing cannula cartridges sold on the market. For expanding sealant cartridges (hydro-expansive), do not create an air vacuum
Can a silicone or other cartridge be put in immediately after using the SADURR® masticbox with another type of cartridge (PU for example)?
Yes, you can simultaneously insert and store all products in the form of cartridges without cleaning the SADURR® masticbox between two uses, provided that it is clean and does not show any residue on the surface of the various parts of the SADURR® masticbox from of the previously stored cartridge.
Can you replace a defective part yourself, such as the valve or an O-ring?
Yes, all parts can be replaced without difficulty and are available individually on the site www.sadurr.fr
How to clean the SADURR® masticbox safely?
Clean each removable part of the SADURR® masticbox in warm soapy water with a soft sponge and dry everything thoroughly with a cloth or paper towel before reuse. If residues of mastic remain on the walls, this does not call into question the effectiveness of the SADURR® masticbox unless these residues are located on the functional parts such as the valve, the seals, the screw threads of the 2 plugs or the perforated external parts of the filter.
Do not use solvent-based products at the risk of damaging the entire SADURR® masticbox
Do we have to make an air vacuum?
Yes, this makes it possible to quickly lower the humidity and therefore makes it possible to very quickly stop the polymerization of the product contained in your cartridge.
Can any pump be used to vacuum the air?
No, only use a manual vacuum pump, identical to the pump supplied with the SADURR® masticbox. Above all, do not use an electric vacuum pump which does not allow you to dose the air vacuum created and could damage elements of the SADURR® masticbox or your cartridge present inside.
How do I know if the air vacuum is done?
The valve must be glued and adhered to the valve cap by pumping 4 to 5 times maximum using the manual vacuum pump. The valve cap is then blocked in the same way as a vacuum jar.
The valve does not stick after pumping 4-5 times. For what ?
Check the cleanliness of the valve, the valve cap and the O-ring present in the valve cap. If necessary, remove the valve and the O-ring from the valve cap and clean them with warm soapy water then dry these 3 parts properly with a clean cloth or clean absorbent paper before reassembling them. (Do not use solvent-based products for cleaning). If the lack of adhesion persists, replace these 3 parts available on the site www.sadurr.fr
Should the safety cap be systematically placed above the valve cap?
Yes, in order to maintain the air space of the SADURR® masticbox. Once the air vacuum has been created, it is possible that after a while the valve will lose grip slightly. The safety cap will keep the air vacuum created, without loss.
Without this safety cap in place, we cannot guarantee that your cartridges will be kept in the optimal conditions indicated.
Can the filter be regenerated in the microwave?
Yes. To do this, place the filter in a container suitable for microwaves, in the center, then turn on the microwave, normal function until the beads re-color orange (about 1 to 2 minutes depending on the power of the microwave / Power 600 watts maximum).
The filter must never be opened.
Do not use the filter or regenerate it if you notice the slightest degradation (plugs, walls). You can order a new filter on the website www.sadurr.fr
If the balls inside the filter are white, can we still keep the cartridge thanks to the air vacuum?
The SADURR® masticbox guarantees the conservation of your cartridges over time only under the conditions of use indicated in the precautions for use.
Regarding the filter:
“
*The balls contained in one of the filter compartments are colored orange to indicate that the filter is active.
When the beads inside the filter are completely white, this indicates that the filter is becoming inactive and needs to be regenerated.
Filter regeneration:
Place the filter on a grid at mid-height in a convection oven, thermostat 90°C/100°C maximum for about 1 hour or more, until the balls turn orange again OR place the filter in a container suitable for micro- microwave, in the middle, then turn on the microwave, normal function, until the balls turn orange again (approximately 1 to 2 minutes depending on the power of the microwave / Power 600 watts maximum)”.
