Replacement of the dryer completely depends upon how often it is used to dry hydrolysis samples. The filter should be changed when the filter bags do not dry sufficiently after hydrolysis at 110°C for three hours (adding pH paper in the desiccant...

When using the ANKOM Rapid Dryer to dry acid hydrolysis samples, the airflow through the special hydrolysis filter ( Part #: RD2 ) will eventually become too limited and the filter will need to be changed. To check the air filter for proper airflow...

When samples are dried for three hours after hydrolysis, they should be placed in a desiccant pouch ( Part #: X45 ) with a strip of pH paper. When the bags are fully dry, the pH paper will NOT show the presence of acid.

This analysis can be performed using the older Kjeldahl Method with filter bags. The automated combustion instruments (Dumas Method) can also be used. With some of the automated instrumentation, it may be difficult to get the entire filter bag into...

First, make sure that your Daisy is not placed under an Air Conditioner or fan. Check your Daisy instrument bulbs, controller, and temperature probe to ensure they are functioning properly. With further questions or concerns, please contact ANKOM...

When the rotation switch is activated on the Daisy, the jars should continue to rotate until the switch is turned off. Possible Causes: There is not enough friction between the outside surface of the jars and the rollers on the instrument. This is...

Contact ANKOM Technology via e-mail at https://www.ankom.com/contact/technical-services or by calling 1-315-986-8090 for assistance in making this determination. Follow D200 Service Procedure 1 to replace the motor on the Daisy instrument.

The F57 and F58 Filter Bags are ash-free and therefore can be used for ash determination. Refer to the Ashing Procedure Service Procedure (AS034) linked below.

Possible cause: A power surge has occurred. Solution: Reprogram your controller using the controller menu setup in your Operator's Manual

Possible Causes: 1) Sample size is too large. 2) Bags were not acetone rinsed. 3) The rubber baffle spacers fell off. Possible Solutions: 1) Ensure that the procedure is followed completely. 2) Reduce sample size to .025 per procedure. 3) Rinse bags...

Possible Causes: (1) The dial on the heat sealer may not be turned up high enough. To seal the XT4 Bag, the dial must be set at approximately "6." (2) The heating element is broken. On the sides of the Teflon cover are two shiny metal strips that...

The MoistureStop Desiccant Pouch is a small, airtight zipper bag, utilized for desiccating all of the Filter Bags that are used with ANKOM instrumentation. A single pouch can hold a full run of F57, F58 or XT4 bags at one time. When folded, 6 IDF or...

The F57 Filter Bags should not be oven-dried after the acetone treatment. Doing so can release the calendared set (heat and pressure used to flatten) we put on the filtration media from which the bags are made. Simply allow the acetone to completely...
