Cleaning time
The vacuum transport system is activated to enable the cleaning of the piping, including both the manual feeding
pipe and the automatic feeding pipe. The rotary valve is active so the powder inside can be transported. Cleaning
time can be increased if the powder has low flowability to ensure that all the remaining powder in the pipe is
transported.
Mixing time
The amount of time that the mixer motor is on after the powder has transported to the mixer. So mixing does not start
after powder has been transported to the mixer, set the mixing time to 0.

Feed the station with powder

The powder management station is used to input, mix, sieve, and load powder. Feed the system with
powder using the manual powder-intake hose situated in the work area at the right of the station.
