Start the season right by following this PROCOTE checklist.
- Bring Procote to the ideal temperature of 20°C.
- Entire tote must be brought to temperature before agitation and use.
- Check temperature.
- Agitate for 5 - 10 minutes.
- Check temperature again.
- Agitate Procote to create a homogeneous mixture. The visible oil line of separation should disappear, and the thick layer at the bottom should be blended into a consistent mixture before use.
- Test that the pump turns on freely by bumping into manual mode.
- Ensure the scales turn on and are registering accurately.
- Run a check on the heat tape to ensure lins flow properly with product.
- Check the output hose leading to the blender and spray bar. Ensure it is fully open by using air to clean any foreign debris.
- If using Procote in an automated blending system, refer to the blender and automation manuals to properly prime the system.
