SYSTEM
75
System 75 is intended for air volumes between 80 and 180 m
3
/hour and available in the following
mounting versions:
Table mounting (BM)
Wall mounting (HM)
Ceiling mounting (HMS)
The different mounting versions have various reaches in the recommended max working position.
The system 75 extraction arms are available with reaches between 550 mm and 1,990 mm de-
pending on mounting version.
System 75 comes in three different material versions:
Aluminium: Aluminium pipes with joints of polypropylene (PP).
This version is used in non-aggressive areas such as laboratories, hos-
pitals, schools and the pharmaceutical industry.
Chemical resistant: Pipes and joints of polypropylene (PP).
This version is suitable for aggressive areas, e.g. chemical industry.
Antistatic: Pipes and joints of conductive polypropylene (PP).
This version is suitable for ESD-areas and the soldering industry and for
exhaustion in EX-areas.
Cleaning of System 75
:
Polypropylene (PP) and PETG are not to be exposed to temperatures above 90°C and can there-
fore not be sterilized by autoclave. It is recommended to clean the parts in a general detergent or
another cleaning material. Polypropylene withstands almost all commonly used cleaning materials
and cleaning spirits.
Hoods:
The hoods for system 75 are available in two material versions. The majority of hoods are made of
transparent PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate, Glycol-modified). In addition, there are three types
in anodized aluminium: suction pen, suction nozzle and 200 mm hood. The hood is also available
in a powder-coated version. All PETG hoods are delivered with a loose stub pipe of anodized
aluminium.
For System 75 Chemical resistant, the hoods are made of white polypropylene (PP). For this ver-
sion, the Ø200 hood is also available in a powder-coated version. Please notice that this hood is
not as resistant to chemical affect as the PP-hoods. All PP hoods are delivered with a loose stub
pipe in polypropylene (PP).
For System 75 Antistatic, most of the hoods are made of black conductive Polypropylene (PP). The
antistatic Ø200 mm metal hood is made of chromated aluminium. The stub pipes are made of con-
ductive polypropylene (PP), and all hoods are delivered with a loose stub pipe. When cleaning the
hoods, never expose them to temperatures beyond 90°C (194°F). The hoods withstand all com-
monly used cleaning materials and cleaning spirits.

Joint with built-in damper:
Where sanitary demands are strict, it is recommended to clean the joint with built-in damper at
least once every week.
If sterile conditions are demanded, the joint must be taken apart and the 2 parts cleaned sepa-
rately. In this case, please pay attention to the way the joint is assembled. The small finger screws
must point forward and the damper wing to the right (see assembling the suction arm). If the
damper joint is mounted the wrong way, so the damper wing is to the left, the joint will no longer be
airtight.
Pipes and joints:
Cleaning of the B-pipe (in connection with the joint with damper) is recommended at least once
every month.
Cleaning of the A-pipe is recommended at least once every quarter or every six months.
O-rings:
The O-rings for system 75 are made of white polyethylene (PE). It is very important to avoid greas-
ing of the O-ring with oils or fats reducing friction between the rings and the joints. Otherwise the
arm cannot keep its work position.
Work processes developing greasy substances that will deposit in the joints recommend a frequent
cleaning of the O-rings and contact faces. A thinner such as Acetone or the like can be used for
cleaning of the O-rings, and in order to do so, the joint has to be taken apart.
Assembling of the suction arm
:
After cleaning the suction arm it is important to reassemble it correctly. The “stops” on the socket
joint must fit together indicating that the suction arm is correctly placed in connection with spring
and socket pipe. Control correct reassembling by loosening the black finger screws on the socket
joint. The correctly assembled arm will then move upwards.
Remember to put on the small white Teflon washers before the finger screws on the sides of the
joint with damper.
When mounting the joint with damper on the suction arm, please be sure that the small finger
screws point forward and the damper wing to the right (see drawing).

Adjustment of internal springs:
By stationary positioning of the suction arm in the highest or lowest part of the working area, the
arm may rise. This happens when the spring in the socket joint is too tight for the position. This can
be corrected by mounting the arm at a lower point. If this is not feasible, the spring can be weak-
ened. In order to do so, the socket joint must be taken apart by screwing one of the finger screws
off the joint and pulling out the threaded stay. When the spring has been removed from the joint,
weaken it by pushing the “legs “ of the spring in
the winding direction.
However, if the arm is sinking from the wanted position, this could be due to greasing of the O-ring
with oils or fats causing loss of friction. In this case, the O-ring must be cleaned as described
above. Sometimes the spring can be weakened if the arm is positioned at the extremity of the work
area over a long period of time making the arm sink. In this case, the spring needs to be tightened
up by pulling the “legs” of the spring against
the winding direction.
On the figure below a spring is shown in three different positions: 1) a weakened spring, 2) a spring
in normal position and 3) a tightened spring. When the spring needs to be bent do it in a distance
app. ⅓ ·h from the winding. The angle, v, depends on the need for tightening/weakening, and it is
advisable to test one’s ground in small stages (i.e. 5° at a time).
The shown spring is made for use in
HM/HMS arms with three joints.
For all springs the following apply:
When weakening
a spring, bend the
legs in
the winding direction.
When tightening
a spring, bend the
legs against
the winding direction.
Gas springs:
Some of the arms 75-9065 and 75-9090 are equipped with external gas springs. The gas springs
are maintenance free, but should be cleaned regularly. The gas springs must not be retracted or
extended beyond there stroke in both directions nor be exposed to impacts. The gas springs must
not be used as handles, and non-axial (sideway) forces must be avoided. The gas springs are
considered wearing parts.
The antistatic suction arm
:
The arm is constructed of tubes and joints of conductive Polypropylene (PP), giving the arm con-
ductive properties.
When delivered the socket pipe of the arm is provided with a wire prepared for EX-areas. In EX-
areas, it is important to balance the potential of the suction arm with the rest of the ventilation sys-
tem and the earth wire must therefore be connected with the ventilating duct.
If the arm is to be mounted in an ESD-area, the pre-attached wire must be replaced by the en-
closed ESD-wire with a resistance of 1 MΩ. The ESD arm then must be earthed together with the
other equipment in order to give the suction arm the same potential as the rest of the area. This
prevents a strong discharge, which could damage the electronic equipment. We recommend that
an electrician with experience in ESD-areas earths the wire.
Since the resistance of 1 MΩ is very important in ESD-areas, please be careful not to break the
resistance.

OPTIMAL POSITION OF VARIOUS HOODS
ALSIDENT
®
SYSTEM 75
There are basically 3 ways to place the hood. The various positions influence the suction effi-
ciency, which also depends on the distance to the pollution source and the air volume.
Therefore, it is advisable to place the hood as close to the pollution source as possible without dis-
turbing the work process. It is also advisable to be sure that the damper is duly opened. The wing
for regulation of the damper is placed on the right side of the joint.
1) Vertically placed opening with the
hood on or close to the table
(ill. 01)
2) Hood placed behind the pollution source
with the opening making an angle
with the table
(ill. 02)
The above positions are the most effective ways
to place the hood.
3) Horizontally placed opening with the hood
placed above and possibly slightly behind
the pollution source
(ill. 03)
With this way of placing the hood, it is often
necessary to push the hood slightly behind
and raise it slightly higher above the pollution
source in order to avoid disturbance of the
work process. This position generally causes
a lower efficiency.
We refer to our capture efficiency report on the
various systems, which is available on demand.
