| Description: |
Traditional mold cleaning methods are time consuming, labor intensive and abrasive. By using ultrasonic for mold maintenance, the result is a cleaner mold with reduced manual input and no wear leading to large cost savings
Ultrasonic cleaning can give the following advantages
• Short wash process leading to reduced time spent in cleaning
• No manual labor required. An operator is not required when the machine is cleaning the mold.
• High levels of cleanliness give longer life in production.
• No abrasion of precise edges and surfaces gives longer mold life.
• No solvents needed because of aqueous process.
• Suitable for all molds, large and small.
• Machinery is simple and easy to use.
EQUIPMENT AND PROCESS
Ultrasonic cleaning is an immersion process that requires three components. The first is the tank to hold the liquid, the second is the chemistry in the tank and the third is the ultrasonic power supply and transducers. TRANSONIC offers systems in a number of configurations depending on your needs. Sizes range from tabletop tank and generator systems that are effective at cleaning inserts, core pins and small molds, to fully integrated wash/rinse/dry systems for larger molds. Most mold cleaning applications utilize powerful 25 kHz ultrasonics but Branson offers 30 kHz for more delicate molds. While the chemistry can vary based on the mold material and type of soil, most molds are cleaned in a buffered alkaline solution with a pH above 12. It is important that the cleaning agent contains a rust inhibitor to prevent flash rusting when the mold is removed from the cleaning solution. The mold is then rinsed by hand with cold water or immersed in a rinse tank. Drying is usually accomplished by blowing the mold off with compressed air and spraying it with a rust preventative. The typical wash time is less than 30 minutes and most molds do not need to be disassembled for processing
RKT3000-R-12 ULTRASONIC INLINE WIRE CLEANING
OVERVIEW
The TRANSONIC RKT-3000 Ultrasonic Wire Cleaner is a production tool designed specifically around the need to clean wire during or following the drawing process. The RKT 3000 processor assembly uses ultrasonic transducer elements arrayed radially around the circumference of a 6.0" diameter process tube. Wire is passed through the tube following drawing and exposed to a very high intensity ultrasonic field. This methodology will improve cleaning over traditional "wipe methods" significantly and often enhances throughput and improves productivity by permitting higher line speeds.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Ultrasonic exposure can be used to improve a variety of operations used daily in the wire industry. Typical applications for this processor include:
• Removal of drawing soaps and lubricants following the drawing process
• Removal of oxides and scale after quenching or annealing operations
• Final cleaning before coating to improve adhesion
