No mould wear, no solvents.... just a special combination of aqueous cleaning chemicals and machinery

Traditional methods of mould cleaning are time consuming, labour intensive and abrasive.

By using a Turbex ultrasonic cleaning machine, the result is a cleaner mould with reduced manual input and no wear, leading to large cost savings.

Mould cleaning machines typically incorporate two or three tanks with the following functions:

Tank 1: Ultrasonic wash with optional closed loop filtration and oil skimming.

Tank 2: Water rinse, often with air bubble agitation to assist in the rinse process. Timer controlled, auto purge is also useful.

Tank 3: If the moulds are going to stores, machines may include a third tank with dewatering fluid.

The models available range from small 40 litre ultrasonic tanks up to machines for cleaning moulds of 2000 kg in weight.

Application Table

The table below shows how Turbex ultrasonic machines can be used for cleaning moulds for rubber and plastic components as well as for cleaning press tools and pressure die castings. Ultrasonics and chemical action combine to clean moulds quickly and efficiently. A typical process time is 15 minutes. The moulds can be large or small, and the cleaning machines range from small bench mounting tanks to large machines designed to accept heavy loads.
