White Powder Coat Finish with WilsonArt® Solid Surface Worktop, Foot Control Sleeve and Heavy Duty 4” Casters. Internal Oil-less Air Compressor and Vacuum with ASI Sound Reduction Technology, Bacteriostatic Exhaust Filter, and Electric Waste Purge System. The expected service life of the system is ten years excluding soft goods and disposable items.

THEORY OF OPERATION

The Triton Series Delivery System is a fully self-contained dental delivery unit that only requires a standard electrical outlet for operation. The delivery unit is a pneumatically-controlled system that uses standard compressed air for operation of dental tools and accessories and for pressurizing a closed-water supply. The system uses air pressure from a foot control to operate air driven tools and also to provide a signal to turn electric instruments on and off. This pneumatic control capability provides flexibility in that additional instruments can be included on the system for operation from the same foot control. The internal air compressor is used to provide air pressure to operate air handpieces, air/water syringe, pressurize the water bottles and general operation of air driven control block and handpiece holders. The water system provides two liters of clean water capacity that is used for handpiece coolant spray and irrigation for the air/water syringe.

HANDPIECE CONTROL AND OPERATION

The system utilizes common dental industry type technology for selection and activation of air-driven drills and instruments via a multi-position control block. The block contains individual gasket diaphragms that are held in the closed position by compressed air supplied by the handpiece holders. When a dental handpiece is removed from its holder, the compressed air is relieved off the gasket diaphragms for that particular instrument thereby allowing compressed air and water to flow to the handpiece when the foot control is depressed. The flow rate of this compressed air is controlled by individual stems on the top of the block and the flow of water by individual needle valves with knobs located on the front and side of the unit. Electric instruments, such as the ultrasonic handpiece and electric motor, are controlled via the same control block. However, the compressed air that flows from the block is routed to an air/electric switch that uses an airdriven piston to close contacts when activated to thereby send an electric signal for the ultrasonic and electric motor to operate. When the foot control is released, these instruments will then turn off. The system uses an air-driven poppet style foot-control valve that when depressed, will send compressed air to the control block to operate whichever handpiece is removed from its holder. The foot control also features a toggle valve for selecting water to spray from the handpieces. When the toggle is activated and the foot control is depressed, it will allow an air signal to travel through the foot-control tubing to open a water relay valve allowing water to flow to the selected handpiece. When the foot control is released, it will exhaust off the air to the water relay valve and allow it to shut.

TANDEM WATER DISINFECTION SYSTEM

The system features a tandem supply of two 1-liter bottles providing two liters of water for patient procedures. This system includes a DentaPure water line cartridge that disinfects and treats the dental unit water to prevent the formation of biofilm in the dental tubing. The tandem supply increases the volume of water available but also saves costs by only requiring the use of one water line cartridge. The system works by allowing water in the second bottle to flow into the first where it then flows through the disinfection cartridge. The water system uses two 1-liter plastic bottles designed for holding pressure. The bottles can be filled with clean tap or distilled water for the source of water supply to the dental handpieces and air/water syringe. The system works by supplying regulated compressed air which pressurizes the water within the bottle and forces it up through the pick-up tubing in the bottle.

AIR COMPRESSOR

A motor drives a two-stage piston design. Air is drawn into the first piston chamber where it is initially compressed and then sent into the second piston chamber where it is compressed further. A pressure switch controls the operation of the compressor that turns it on and off. Due to the oil-less design, the compressor requires no lubrication and no maintenance.

VACUUM PUMP

A motor drives a two-headed oil-less piston pump. The pistons require no lubrication due to their oil-less design. The pistons are dynamically balanced to high tolerances that enable a smooth running and quiet design.
