MELAdem 53 at attractive prices

During water treatment, the MELAdem 53 ion exchange system takes positively charged or negatively charged ions from the raw water and exchanges them for ions of the same charge. Through ion exchange, practices and clinics achieve the desired water quality for the reprocessing of medical products. However, this gradually exhausts the synthetic resin present in the ion exchanger cartridge. Since our autoclaves and thermodisinfectors have an integrated conductivity measurement, the decreasing water quality sooner or later leads to a warning or malfunction message.

The subsequent professional regeneration is an environmentally conscious and resource-saving procedure. This is because after the mixed bed resin has been replaced, not only can the MELAdem 53 container be completely reused, but also used resin is reprocessed for future regenerations.

The capacity, i.e. how much demineralized water can be treated with the resin, depends particularly on the ion concentration in the input water and thus on the water quality. If the water has a high ion concentration or conductivity, more ions must be exchanged, which results in a shorter operating time of the MELAdem 53. With regard to conductivity and water hardness, the containers of the MELAdem 53 have a capacity of:

• 2800 liters at at 10 °dH

• 1200 liters at 20 °dH

• 800 liters at 25 °dH

When stored in a cool and dry place, the mixed bed resin cartridge can be used for up to 18 months (see marking disc). The optimum temperature range for storage is 2 - 20 °C. A mixed bed resin cartridge filled with water must always be protected from frost.

Some practices and clinics have a central water softening system for the water supply. A softening system removes the hardness-forming ions from the drinking water and exchanges them in equal part with sodium ions. The increased sodium content in the water can lead to a one-sided load on the ion exchanger system and thus to premature exhaustion of the MELAdem 53. Therefore, if your central softening system is connected to the water supply in the treatment room, please ensure the correct functioning of this system together with the manufacturer - for example, after regenerating the central softening system with sodium / salt, the first intermediate rinse should be fed directly into the wastewater. Please note that an upstream softening plant has no positive effect on the capacity of the MELAdem 53.

Using your regeneration code, you can request regeneration of your MELAdem 53 cartridge via the online order form (on our website or via the link). Please enter your regeneration code and serial number carefully. Typing errors will result in error messages.

The MELAdem 53 is a mixed-bed resin cartridge for producing fully demineralized water (DE water) from tap water. During operation, the resin becomes saturated, rendering the cartridge unusable after a certain period of time. “Regeneration” refers to the replacement of the mixed-bed resin: 1. Your cartridge will be picked up by a shipping service. 2. It is emptied and refilled with new resin at MELAG. 3. You will then receive your regenerated (refilled) cartridge back.

Your MELAdem 53 or MELAdem 53 C may only be shipped in the original reusable shipping container (consisting of a cardboard box, shipping restraints, and end caps). Cartridges that are packaged differently or inadequately cannot be processed and will be returned to the sender. • First order: The shipping packaging is free of charge. • Subsequent orders: The packaging is subject to a charge (prices listed on the order form). If the reusable shipping packaging shows significant wear and tear, the cardboard box will be automatically replaced as part of the regeneration process at no additional cost.

Procedure for ordering reusable shipping packaging: 1. Upon receipt of your order, MELAG will first send you the reusable shipping packaging. 2. When the reusable shipping packaging is shipped, a pickup by GLS is automatically scheduled. 3. The pickup takes place separately from the delivery of the shipping packaging and occurs approximately 5 to 7 business days after the reusable shipping packaging is shipped.

If you encounter any problems, please contact: Email : regeneration@melag.de Phone: 030 757911 805233

Please note the following points to ensure a smooth process: • Empty the cartridge as thoroughly as possible after use. • Close the ports (with the caps). • Close the vent screw. • Remove all old shipping labels from the reusable transport packaging to prevent incorrect tracking numbers from being scanned.

Depending on the order volume, the refurbishment process (from pickup to return) can take about two to three weeks.

Over time, individual components of the MELAdem 53 may also wear out. In the event of malfunctions or problems, please contact the regeneration team to arrange and order an additional inspection or repair.

Please make sure that your MELAdem 53 is properly prepared for shipping, as described in detail in Step 4.

Proper preparation prevents shipping damage, moisture leakage (from the MELAdem), and misdeliveries. Please note that any damage, delays, or additional costs resulting from inadequate preparation are the responsibility of the shipper.
