| 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.

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 |
