Read our customer's initial request and see how well our E-Kleen SR 163 was able to help achieve their goals:
“Hello, I'm looking for a product and/or a means to clean and polish tool steel. This product would be used to maintain a class-A, cosmetic surface in our zinc diecasting process. I'm hoping to find something that can be applied right at the machine, without requiring that the casting mold be pulled from the machine for repair. This product would need to remove any buildup from the tool surface without scratching. Thanks!” -WI Customer
After running a few different concentrations of the E-Kleen SR 163 - Here is what our customer came up with for their SOP on cleaning carbon residual from their Zinc Diecast Tooling:
Since, our customer has started using the E-Kleen SR 163, to clean up carbon residual that they are seeing on some Zinc Diecast Tooling, they have seen improvements in the following Operational metrics:
The following are suggestions, recommendations, and drawings for air sparger systems that promote efficient and uniform air agitation patterns to obtain the optimum results from electroplating processes. These sparger systems can also be used in conjunction with eductors for certain applications.
1. Use ¾ “ diameter distribution pipes (CPVC)
2. 3/32” and/or ⅛” diameter holes should be staggered, pointing down at 60” from vertical plane, or 120” apart from each other and counter sunk.
3. 3/4:” distribution pipe not to exceed 5 feet in length
4. Number of holes per one (1) square foot of effective surface area of solution is variable.
5. Use 3/32” diameter holes in distribution pipe for 15”, 18”, and 21” anode centers. Distribution pipe to be 2” from the bottom of the tank. Distribution pipes to be 6” apartn.
6. Use 1/8 “ diameter holes in distribution pipe for 24”, 30”, and 36” anode centers. Distribution pipe to be 2” from the bottom of the tank. Distribution pipes to be 11” apart.
7. Air blowers normally need to develop 15 C.F.M @ 2.5 lb/ft^2
Properly built air distribution system!
· Even, rolling air pattern.
· Low pressure blower. Do NOT use air compressor.
· Properly sized CFM of air blower.
· Use CPVC pipe and connectors.
· Use header for each set of air spiders.
Eductors are becoming popular.
· Used where air quality standards are strict.
· Can vector solution to reduce burning.
· Do not use filter pump. Use a separate pump.
· Some solutions require air agitation.
