Metal Cleaning - Miele IR 6002 Operating Instructions Manual

Areas of application

Metal cleaning

This machine can be used to degrease
and remove any dust and lapping
abrasives from metal components at
the end of the manufacturing process
or before they are lacquered or
galvanised.
Process 1 and 2 (see "Description of
the machine - Water recovery") are
frequently used for this where the items
are only lightly soiled with residues
(0.5-1.0% cleaning agent at 60-80 °C).
Process 3 (see "Description of the
machine - Water recovery") is frequently
used for this where the items are
heavily soiled with residues (1.0-3.0%
cleaning agent at 60-80 °C). If the rinse
water or the special cleaning agent is to
be re-used a buffer or recycling tank is
required.
The cleaning agent and process used
will depend on the iron, steel and
non-ferrous heavy metal content. With
lapping agents a test wash should be
carried out to ascertain cleaning levels.
Depending on the material and rinse
results it is often necessary to carry out
a final rinse with fully demineralised
water.

Make sure that metal shavings
(from drilling, cutting etc) cannot get
into the wash cabinet. This is
particularly important with corrosive
iron materials.
