Product Link: Durr CS-1 Combi Sepamatic with Place Selection Valve

Introduction

Imagine running a bustling dental practice with 4+ surgeries, only to face suction failures during peak hours—or worse, an environmental audit revealing amalgam compliance gaps. The Durr CS-1 Combi Sepamatic (with integrated Place Selection Valve) erases these nightmares. Designed for clinics scaling beyond single-surgery setups, this all-in-one system merges amalgam separation, suction control, and multi-chair coordination into one compact powerhouse. Let’s explore why UK practices call it “the silent enforcer of compliance and calm.”

The Problem: Fragmented Systems = Costly Chaos

Traditional multi-surgery setups force clinics to juggle:

• Separate amalgam separators for each chair
• Complex networks of valves/pipes prone to leaks
• Inconsistent suction pressure during concurrent procedures
• Regulatory risks from unmonitored mercury discharge

Result? Spiralling maintenance costs, failed inspections, and frustrated clinicians.

How the CS-1 Combi Sepamatic Works: 3-in-1 Genius

1. Smart Separation
   Waste from all chairs funnels into the CS-1’s Sepamatic® chamber. Its vortex technology forces heavy amalgam particles downward into a sealed container while “clean” water exits—exceeding ISO 11143 capture rates by 15% .
2. Place Selection Valve
   This hero component acts as a traffic controller:
   • Isolates suction demand to active chairs only
   • Prevents pressure drops when multiple dentists work simultaneously
   • Features manual override for emergencies
3. Dry-Suction Optimization
   No drain pipe? No problem. The CS-1 evaporates filtered liquid via its exhaust system—ideal for clinics without plumbing access .

5 Game-Changing Benefits for Multi-Surgery Clinics

1. Total Compliance, Zero Effort
   • Captures 99%+ amalgam from all connected chairs
   • Auto-logs waste volumes for audit trails (ISO 11143:2022)
   • Pre-packaged disposal containers simplify recycling .
2. Slash Operational Costs
   • 1 unit replaces 4+ separators (~£2,000 saved upfront)
   • 60% less pipework reduces leak risks and maintenance
   • 5-year filter lifespan vs. 12-18 months for competitors .
3. Unbreakable Suction Workflow
   The Place Selection Valve ensures:
   • Stable 180 mbar vacuum even with 4+ active HVE lines
   • Zero cross-surgery interference (“No more suction fade!” – Leeds clinic testimonial) .
4. Space-Saving Design
   At just 45 × 32 × 32 cm, it fits under benches or in tight corners—freeing 2+ m² vs. stackable separators .
5. Silent & Sustainable
   • Operates at 58 dB (quieter than AC units)
   • Saves 12,000+ litres/year via dry evaporation mode .

Real-World Impact: Bristol Dental Collective’s Story

After installing the CS-1 Combi Sepamatic:

• Compliance costs dropped 70% (no more per-chair separator servicing)
• Zero suction-related cancellations in 18 months
• “Set-and-forget reliability” – staff now focus entirely on patients

Pro Installation Tips

1. Retrofit-Ready
   Works with A-dec, Kavo, and Pelton & Crane chairs—no brand lock-in.
2. Future-Proof Plumbing
   Use colour-coded pipes (Durr Connect system) to simplify maintenance.
3. Place Valve = Priority
   Mount the valve centrally for equal suction distribution to all surgeries.

💡 Critical Note: Pair with Durr spittoon valves (e.g., Durr24-7560-570-54) for complete bowl-to-separator waste capture!
