12. DISPOSAL
Disposal
The system, except for the electronic equipment, is mainly made from steel, with
some parts in aluminium. Dispose of it through recycling according to the
applicable statutory waste disposal regulations.
These regulations are likely to require the separate handling and disposal of
• electronic and electrical waste (printed circuit boards);
• batteries, fluorescent lamps/energy-saving bulbs, hazardous substances;
• plastics (housing);
• sheet metal, steel, copper, aluminium (separated by metal).
Before disposing of the device, decontaminate all parts that have been in
contact with process substances. Remove any hazardous material from the
mixing system.
All oils, solutions, cleaning agents and contaminated cleaning tools (e.g. brushes,
cloths) must be disposed of in keeping with the local requirements in accordance
with the applicable waste disposal regulations, and in compliance with the
information in the material safety data sheets of the manufacturer.
Batteries:
Do not dispose of the batteries through normal household waste. You are by law
obliged to ensure that batteries are processed by a specialist disposal company.
To do this, bring them to the collecting points of your municipal waste disposal
service or return them to any shop selling batteries. Alternatively, you can send
the batteries to us (for address, see cover page). We will then dispose of them
properly and free of charge to you. Batteries containing hazardous substances
are labelled with a crossed out waste bin symbol and the relevant chemical
symbol (Cd, Hg of Pb), indicating the hazardous substance (heavy metal).
The crossed-out waste bin symbol indicates the following: Battery must not be
discarded in household waste. The chemical symbol below the waste bin symbol
indicates the hazardous substance contained in the battery: Pb: battery contains
lead; Cd: battery contains cadmium; , Hg: battery contains mercury.
