Version 2 – Updated on 06/28/22
Model SRP2208A

Congratulations!
Your new ProWash S is the world’s most advanced system for cleaning 3D printed parts. Featuring improvements to our patented Mechanical Jetting™ technology and an all-new, cloud-connected onboard computer, your digital workflow just got a little simpler.
In this guide, you’ll find everything you need to get started using ProWash S.

Training and Support

In the Box

ProWash S comes out of the box with most parts preinstalled.
The hydrometers are precalibrated for each chamber and will float when it’s time to replace IPA. Read more about hydrometers in section 4.

Where to Set Up

Set up ProWash S in a well-ventilated area on a level surface in a temperature-controlled room. Keep it away from windows and bright light sources.
Never place anything on ProWash S.
If possible, set ProWash S near your 3D printer and curing device for optimal workflow efficiency.

Plug in and Connect to the Network

Use the provided power adaptor and cable to plug your ProWash S into a surge protector or uninterrupted power supply. Flip the switch on the back to the ‘On’ position.
On startup, ProWash S will prompt you to connect to a network. You can join an existing Wi-Fi network using the touchscreen or use an ethernet cable. Maintaining an internet connection will allow ProWash S to receive updates.
If you need to reset your ProWash S, switch it off and then unplug the power cable, wait 30 seconds, then plug it back in.

The Basics

Never pour IPA directly into this chamber; it should only be poured into the tanks

How to Add IPA

Always wear gloves and proper eye protection.
Open the tank lid and add at least 500mL of IPA 91% or greater to each tank. IPA 99% and ethanol may also be used depending on preference, availability, and material requirements.
If the volume of IPA is insufficient to run a cleaning cycle, the onboard computer will detect this and notify you.
Keep the tank lid closed to prevent the evaporation and contamination of IPA.
When new IPA is added, hydrometers may float for a few minutes before sinking

Minimum 500 mL Required per tank
Maximum 2 Liters Required per tank

Build Platform Information

Depending on which SprintRay 3D printer you have, you may need to attach a magnet and/or use a fitment adaptor when using ProWash S.
How to Install the Magnet
If using Pro95 or Pro55, you’ll need to install the provided magnet to enable the platform wash. Thoroughly clean the side of the build platform before attaching the magnet sticker.

| Pro95
Print Platform
Place magnet on the right side
---|---
Pro55
Print Platform
Place magnet on the right side
Printer Model| Install Magnet| Use Adaptor
---|---|---
Pro95| Yes| No
Pro55| Yes| Yes
Pro95 S| No, It is embedded| No
Pro55 S| No, It is embedded| Yes

Using the Build Platform Adaptor
If using a Pro55 or Pro55 S, you’ll need to use the included adaptor to enable the platform wash. Place the adaptor atop the wash chamber so that the opening is on the right and run a cleaning cycle as normal.

Compatible with Pro 55 and Pro 55s

How to Wash with ProWash S

Print Platform Wash

Remove the basket and place the Pro95/S build platform in the wash chamber. If using Pro55/S, use the provided adaptor (see Section 7). Use the touchscreen to select a cleaning cycle.
The system will not start until a platform is detected.
Recommended for:

• Models shorter than 4”
• Solid models
• Models for aligners
• Surgical guides
• Night guards

WARNING!
When washing with the build platform, remove the basket from the wash chamber

Basket Wash

To use the basket, place models inside and close the lid. Use the touchscreen to select a cleaning cycle.
The system will not start if the lid is open.
Recommended for:

• Models taller than 4”
• Hollow/shell models

WARNING!
Do not stack models or crowd them together, as this can greatly reduce wash efficiency

Combination Wash
To perform a combination wash, perform a full cleaning cycle with the build platform. Remove the models and place them in the basket. Select ‘Extra Rinse’ from the onboard computer, or run a second cleaning cycle from the home screen.
Recommended for:

• Highly viscous resins
• Large print batches
• Dense supports
• Complex geometries

WARNING!
Consult your materials IFU to determine if a combination wash is recommended

How to Drain IPA from the Tanks

ProWash S comes out of the box with the drain hose clipped to the back.
To drain a tank, press the metal inlet tip into the drain port until it firmly clicks into place. Once connected, IPA will run through the hose. To disconnect, firmly slide the outer ring of the drain port away from you.

Draining an IPA Tank
A — Retrieve the drain hose from the back of the device, then press the metal tip into the drainage port until it clicks into place
B — Point the end of the hose into a disposal container, then unlock the safety clamp to start the flow
C — Once the tank is empty, eject the drain hose by sliding the outer ring of the drain port away from you
How to Dispose of IPA
ProWash S extracts the maximum life out of IPA so that you generate less waste. But IPA and other solvents are hazardous and should be treated with care.
Keep the original packaging on hand for storing drained IPA after it has become saturated. Never flush IPA down the drain.
Used IPA should be properly disposed of through a hazardous materials collection as required by local laws and regulations.
Consult your local environmental agency or the EPA office to find the nearest hazardous materials collection facility.

WARNING!
Never flush IPA down the drain. Used IPA should be properly disposed of through a hazardous materials collection as required by local laws and regulations.

How to Clean ProWash S

Clean Wash Chamber
Scrub the inside and walls of the chamber and remove debris. When prompted by the onboard software, follow the procedure in Section 11 to clean the filter.
Clean an IPA Tank
A — Remove the rubber stop, then slide the hydrometer out of the tank
B — Use the provided brush to scrub the inside of the tank, including the walls
C — Flush the tank by pouring in a small volume of IPA or water, then drain
D — Replace the hydrometer with its corresponding tank

WARNING!
For best results, clean the tanks every time you refresh IPA. The wash chamber should be cleaned periodically as well.

How to Clean the Wash Filter

ProWash S has a mesh filter that protects the plumbing from resin and other debris. The filter should be cleaned when prompted by the onboard software. If the filter is damaged or cannot be cleaned, it should be replaced.

WARNING!
The secondary mesh below the removable filter should never be removed

Remove
Clear the area around the filter to ensure no debris falls into the plumbing when it is removed. Turn counter-clockwise by hand to unscrew.| Clean
Flush the filter with IPA to remove resin debris. Use the provided tweezers to remove any additional
debris from the mesh.| Reinstall
Replace the filter and turn it clockwise to hand tighten.

Care for Environment

SprintRay ProWash S uses patented technology to improve the efficiency of the washing and drying processes. It’s better for your pocketbook and better for the environment.
Here are three easy tips to help you go the extra environmental mile with your used isopropyl alcohol (IPA):

1. Never flush IPA down the drain
2. Keep all IPA packaging for storing used IPA
3. Set up IPA recycling with a materials disposal company
