Functional description
Applications
The Industrial Cleaner is designed for
specialized sectors of industrial high
technology production, where a
consistently high standard of cleaning
is required, and where the structure of
the items to be cleaned may be
complex. Areas of appliacation are:
Electronics, such as circuit boards
–
and solder frames,
Metal cleaning
–
Optics
–
– Particle decontamination
Cleaning process
The Industrial Cleaner works on the
principle of fresh water circulation. The
bath time for cleaning and rinsing is
approx. 20-30 minutes. Drying is
effected by means of an integrated
drying unit. A period of 15 to 45
minutes must be added to the above
time to thoroughly dry the batch,
depending on the heat retention
capacity of the items in the load and
the amount of water remaining. The
machine can be programmed, and a
variety of baskets and inserts used,
depending on specific needs. Special
cleaning programs can be written for
individual applications.
Water recycling
The IR 6001 comes equipped with a
two stage drainage system and a pump
to bring rinse water back into the
machine enabling it to be re-used.
Rinse water which is still quite clean, for
example from the final rinse, can be
directed into an external holding tank
and be fed back into the machine for
the following pre-wash or main wash
cycle. The holding tank does not come
with the machine, and must be
supplied on-site.
The following procedures can be
realized with the Industrial Cleaner and
an external holding tank.
1. Without an external holding tank
The water from the pre-wash and main
wash is discharged into the waste
water system, or into an effluent
treatment plant.
2. Recycling of rinse water
E.g. the water of the last two rinse
cycles will be re-used for the rinse or
neutralization for the next batch. The
waste water of the cleaning cycle will
be drained into the waste water system
or an effluent treatment plant.
3. Recycling of cleaning waste water
The waste water of the cleaning cycle
will be re-used for the cleaning cycle of
the next batch. The waste water of the
remaining rinse cycles will be drained
into the waste water system or an
effluent treatment plant.
10
MCU-control
The Industrial Cleaner is equipped with
a micro computer unit control (MCU).
The control is programmable, giving the
user the ability to optimize programs
and create new cleaning programs.
The controls can be programmed for a
range of individual applications; for
example, time, temperature, water
quality, dispensing of various liquid
detergents and additives. During the
wash process the display will chow
either the current stage of the process,
or an error message if there is a fault.
The large memory capacity enables
different programs to be stored and
then selected according to the load to
be cleaned. Different keys are used
with the key switch to restrict access to
the operating and programming
options. The control unit has two serial
interfaces which allow wash parameters
to be monitored or documented
through the use of a printer or PC (not
supplied).
Functional description
Should your needs change or the
machine be needed for other
applications, different programs can be
designed with the help of Miele.
11
First Use
