Ultrasonic Mold Cleaning Machine which cleans the components through multi stage ultrasonic cleaning and rinsing processes.
Rinsing is carried out by ultra pure DM water which is followed by drying through IR, hot air and curing stations. An ultrasonic cleaning process with the help of ultrasonic cleaning machine is a mark of high quality cleaning of varied industrial components. Ultrasonic cleaning is followed by hot air, IR and vacuum drying processes.
Benefits:
• Reduced labor
• Longer mold life
• Reduced mold damage from cleaning
• Longer runs
• Reduced scrap
Ultrasonic Mold Cleaning Machine
Ultrasonic Mold Cleaning Machineuses high-frequency sound waves to remove mold residues and fouling from tooling and plates that are immersed in a heated aqueous solution. An ultrasonic generator converts standard line-frequency current into high-frequency electrical energy. The generator is connected to small transducers that are mounted to the bottom or sides of a wash tank. These transducers vibrate at ultrasonic frequencies when the current passes through. This causes the bottom or sides of the tank to vibrate like the diaphragm in a speaker,which scrub and loosen vent residues and grime
Why an Ultrasonic Cleaner is Ideal for Injection Molding
In three words: thorough, safe and fast. Contaminants missed by manual cleaning are usually those deep in crevices and on other surfaces impossible to reach. Moreover, highly finished mold surfaces can be scratched or otherwise damaged by manual processes. Large molds can be difficult to maneuver, further risking damage during manual cleaning. And the longer it takes to clean the molds the greater the risk of damage.
Ultrasonic cleaning action solves all three issues.
It is thorough because it reaches all mold surfaces immersed in a biodegradable water-based ultrasonic cleaning solution. It is safe because while the cleaning action can be termed “violent” it occurs so fast that highly polished injection mold surfaces are not damaged during the cleaning process. By fast we mean 10 to 15 minutes although large complex molds may require a longer cleaning cycle.
Plastic Mold Cleaning by Cavitation Action
Cavitation action is described as the implosion of countless minute bubbles against surfaces of products immersed in the cleaning solution. Bubbles are created when generator-powered transducers bonded to the ultrasonic cleaner tank vibrate at ultrasonic frequencies measured in thousands of cycles per second or kilohertz (kHz).
Selecting the cleaning equipment is governed to a large extent by the size of molds being cleaned. Ultrasonic cleaners are available ranging from small benchtop units to industrial-sized floor-mounted equipment that can be fitted for automated cleaning and rinsing cycles. But do select a cleaner with a heater, timer and sweep mode.
The process is fairly straightforward regardless of equipment size. Here’s a simplified description that can be modified based on your specific operations:
1.Fill the ultrasonic cleaner with water but allow room for cleaning solution displacement due to the size of the molds being cleaned. Add the proper amount of biodegradable cleaning solution concentrate. Ask the scientists at Tovatech to recommend the correct formulation based on the type of contaminants you are removing and what the mold itself is made of.
2.When you are ready to clean place the injection molds in the cleaner basket. Take care that they do not contact each other. If you are cleaning large parts you may suspend them in the cleaning solution so they do not contact the tank bottom. Some industrial cleaners are equipped with bottom racks to support products being cleaned.
3.Set the heater to 65 C and timer from 10 to 60 minutes depending on the degree of contamination. Activate the sweep mode to assure uniform distribution of cavitation and promote uniform cleaning then lower the molds into the solution. With experience you will establish optimum cleaning conditions.
4.At the end of the cycle remove the molds and inspect. When satisfied, rinse them with fresh hot water and allow them to dry or blow them dry with compressed air. Note that intricate configurations and cavities may trap water that should be removed by adding an electric drying oven to your setup.
Rinsing tip: You’ll want to thoroughly remove cleaning solution residues. Complex shapes may call for a spray rinse or, in certain cases, rinsing by cavitation in an ultrasonic rinse tank.
How to Clean Large Plastic Injection Molds
Complex molds require careful cleaning.
Complex injection molds represent substantial investments by plastic injection molding companies which, in order to protect their investments, must establish cleaning procedures to remove a variety of stubborn contaminants. These include burned on residues, oils, flashing and grease that if allowed to remain will result in product rejection by the quality control department. Hand scrubbing with solvents simply does not do the job. In addition to being time consuming, manual cleaning introduces potential health hazards for personnel and solvent disposal challenges. The solution is using an ultrasonic cleaner instead of scrubbing in a solvent-based parts washer.

What cleaning solution shouldn't I use ?
Flammables or solutions with low flash points should only be used on a suitable Hilsonic's ATEX EX rated system. The energy released by cavitation is converted to heat and kinetic energy, generating high temperature gradients in the solution, and can create hazardous conditions with flammable liquids. Acids, bleach and bleach by-products should generally be avoided, but may be used with indirect cleaning in a proper indirect cleaning container, such as a glass beaker, and appropriate care. Acid and bleach will damage stainless steel tanks, and/or create hazardous conditions.
Can ultrasonic cleaning damage my parts?
With certain cautions, ultrasonic cleaning is considered safe for most parts. While the effects of thousands of implosions per second is very powerful, the cleaning process is safe since the energy is localized at the microscopic level. The most important cautionary consideration is the choice of cleaning solution. Potentially adverse effects of the detergent on the material being cleaned will be enhanced by the ultrasonics.
When should solutions be changed?
Cleaning solutions should be replenished when a noticeable decrease in cleaning action occurs, or when the solution is visibly dirty or spent. A fresh batch of solution at each cleaning session is usually not required.
