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

Functional description

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).

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

The deflector must be dismantled if mobile units or baskets with a TA adapter (an adapter at the drying air vent in the wash cabinet) are used.

^Loosen both screws at the deflector.

^Remove the deflector.

13

First Use

Adding detergent

,Exercise caution when handling detergents! They may contain acids, alkalis or disinfectants.

Take care to ensure that the necessary safety precautions are observed. Wear protective gloves and goggles.

The IR 6001 comes standard with 3 DOS pumps for automatic dispensing of liquid additives: 3 DOS 60/30 injector pumps for dispensing liquid cleaning agent. Dispensing capacity is 60 ml/30 second (channel 6, 8 and 9).

The amounts of cleaning agent required, depending on the application chosen for this machine, are dispensed through these systems.

Additionally a DOS pump DOS 10/30 for dispensing acid additives is supplied. Dispensing capacity is

10 ml/30 secs (channel 9).

If needed, the Miele Technical Service can exchange a DOS 60/30 with the DOS 10/30.

,Powdered detergent must be placed on the door (regard manufacturer’s dosage). Use wash programs without draining at the start of a program. Caution: Avoid powder inhalation!
