Particle Transfer Rollers (PTR’s)
The PTR’s should be cleaned before each job using a damp cloth. Every week the rollers should be removed and
cleaned thoroughly with soapy water. Wash PTR's in cold water with a mild detergent, at a ratio of 2-4 drops per litre
of water. Use slightly more detergent if the water is "hard". The manufacturer recommends Palmolive detergent.
Do not use dishwasher detergent.
Do not use hot water as it can cause PTR's to become very sticky and cause excessive adhesion and potential
damage to the film. Do not use packaging or other adhesive type tapes to clean a PTR after it has been washed!
Such tapes will transfer some of adhesives to the PTR and cause excessive adhesion of the film to the PTR, resulting
in damage to the film.
Simply wash the PTR's and allow them to dry thoroughly before re installation. If cleaned properly, PTR's should roll
off one another when placed together. PTR's that stick together without falling off must be re washed in cold water and
(Palmolive) detergent.
Before replacing the rollers a small amount of grease should occasionally be applied to the roller shafts. Failure to do
this can result in the rollers binding to the shafts which can lead to damage to the compliance arm assembly. On no
account allow any grease to contact the PTR cleaning surface
PTR's will remove dust, dirt and lint from film for a period of 3-4 months of constant use if cleaned properly and
regularly. All PTR's are anti-static.
