Once the cartridge has been exhausted, it is dispatched for regeneration and the second cartridge is brought into operation. The low height of the water treatment unit MELAdem 53 C in comparison to the MELAdem 53 makes it especially suited to installation in tightly-fitting situations. The high capacity of up to 2,100 l enables the connection of one or more steam sterilizers in addition to the MELAtherm.

The ion exchanger system MELAdem 53 takes positively charged or negatively charged ions from the raw water during water treatment 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 thermo washer disinfectors 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. Because after replacing the mixed-bed resin, not only can the MELAdem 53 container be completely reused, but the used resin is also reprocessed for future regeneration.
The capacity, i.e. how much demineralised water can be treated with the resin, depends especially 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 have to 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 litres at 10 °dH
1200 litres at 20 °dH
800 litres 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 labelling 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 softening system for the water supply. A softening system removes the hardness-forming ions from the drinking water and exchanges them in equal parts 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 system has no positive effect on the capacity of the MELAdem 53.
For large quantities of demineralised water
MELAdem 53 C works according to the proven ion exchange process and thus produces high-quality demineralised water for the cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation process. The water treatment system from MELAG is designed for the large demand for high-quality aqua dem to supply the MELAtherm, the Careclave and one or more practice autoclaves. Two high-quality cartridges filled with regenerable resin are included in the delivery. One cartridge is connected to the autoclave and/or MELAtherm, while the second cartridge serves as a reserve. When the first cartridge is used up, it is given to regeneration and the second cartridge is inserted.
With its low height, MELAdem 53 C is particularly suitable for compact installation situations. Up to 2,100 litres of water can be demineralised with one cartridge. This makes it possible to connect one or more autoclaves to the water treatment system in addition to the MELAtherm.
