This example is applied to a Job made with a Prodways P1000 – SLS system the components manufactured in Pa12 have been processed into a finishing unit polluted by a previous black colour substance.
No way to remove it using detergent and brushes or classic bleach and water…
The surface is somewhere presenting black spots, but also inside several tricky areas some dirty traces are still present.
The idea is to wash this components by
submerging them into a working bowl of an EcoSONIC cleaning unit with a suitable liquid detergent.
The surface is presenting black spots, evident in the orange circles some dirty traces are difficult to be removed.
We will try to clean the surface by submerging them into a working bowl of an EcoSONIC cleaning unit with a suitable liquid detergent.
The EcoSONIC working bowl, before to load the workpieces to wash.
The sonotrode is positioned to generate cavitation at 20KHz at few mm. distance from the parts.
The EcoSONIC dinamics, combining vibratory motion of the bowl with cavitation of the ultrasonic sonotrode, are generating an extraordinary cleaning all over the workpieces loaded in the process bowl.
The EcoSONIC electronic generator, working around 20 Khz frequency, is one of the most leading technologies available in the EU with top quality assured.
The EcoSONIC trial of this example has been made for 30′ minutes, with water at temperature of about 19°C (Cold water), just to demonstrate the efficiency of the ultrasonic cavitation combined with the liquid detergent.
The EcoSONIC achieved an excellent performance that, at 45° to 55°, can be obtained in less than half of the time, even one third.
The EcoSONIC performance has cleaned every part in all tricky areas.
The EcoSONIC ultrasonic cleaning has worked efficiently also in the deepest areas.
