Overview The SCA 1200ht Support Cleaning Apparatus (SCA) is designed to remove soluble support from FDM parts (PLA, ABS, PC, nylon) and Material Jetting (MJ) parts (UV Cured Resins) using water or approved caustic cleaning solutions. How it works The SCA removes support material by immersing parts created with soluble support material in a bath consisting of water or cleaning solution.

Figure 1 Tank Area The Tank Area is used to hold the liquid and it is where the parts are cleaned. The SCA improves part cleaning by circulating the liquid in the tank. Figure 2 Large Parts Basket Figure 3 Small Parts Basket The Large Parts Basket is used to hold parts during cleaning and to lift parts out of the tank.

The Strainer over the drain opening in the tank prevents debris from entering the drain when the tank is emptied. It should be rinsed after emptying the tank before refilling with fresh liquid. The Heater is located behind the perforated Heater Shield. It heats the water in the tank.
The Power Cord (not shown in figure) is used to connect the system to a wall outlet for power. Only use a power cord provided by the manufacturer. The Power Cord Receptacle is where the power cord is connected to the unit. The plug is a disconnecting device and should be easily accessible at all times.
Setup Locating the SCA To maximize ease of use and operational safety, make sure the following preparations of the physical site are met: • Place the SCA on a sturdy horizontal surface or cart capable of supporting 200 lbs (the weight when filled with water). •...
Operation Filling and setup Adding water Fill the tank with water to just below the MAX line as shown (approximately 11 gallons, 42L), taking into account that the parts and basket will raise the water level when lowered into the tank. Figure 6 Liquid Fill Lines DO NOT use hot water when filling the tank.
The following are examples of recommended mixing procedures for WaterWorks and EcoWorks in the SCA 1200ht. If using WaterWorks Soluble Concentrate: While wearing protective gloves, protective clothing, and eye/face shielding, add one bottle (2.1 lbs, 950 g) of WaterWorks to the water filled bath. Exercise caution when working with the cleaning solution.

Connect the power cord to the SCA and then to a suitable grounded receptacle. Power on the SCA using the main power ON/OFF switch located at the rear of the unit. Press one of the four temperature preset buttons or the Heat Off button to select the cleaning temperature.

Cleaning the parts To activate the cleaning cycle after setting the time and temperature, and adjusting the liquid level, press the button. Illuminated bars will sweep under the temperature display when the pump is operating. Parts can take a few hours or longer to clean. Cleaning time is affected by the size of the part, the amount of support material, part geometry, and the pH level of the cleaning solution.
Completing the cleaning process Removing parts from the SCA When the parts are clean, they can be removed from the SCA. Halt the cleaning cycle by pressing the button if removing the parts before the timer has finished count down. Open the SCA lids and slowly lift the large basket from the cleaning solution.
Maintenance Draining the tank For safety reasons, allow the cleaning solution to cool to room temperature before draining and wear protective gloves and eyewear while working with the effluent. Pour des raisons de sécurité, laissez la solution de nettoyage refroidir jusqu’à la température ambiante avant le drainage, et portez des gants et lunettes de protection lorsque vous travaillez avec les effluents.
Proper disposal requires the alkalinity (pH) of the used solution be reduced to allowable levels before disposal. The pH may be lowered by either diluting the solution or by neutralizing it with an acid such as malic acid. If using WaterWorks, dilute the solution at a ratio of 5 parts clean water to 1 part used solution.
Inspecting and cleaning the pump intake screen The pump intake screen may become clogged with debris. This will noticeably reduce the flow in the tank. Remove the intake screen by pulling down with sufficient force to unseat the fastening clips from the mating surface. Scrub debris from the intake screen using a stiff brush. Rinse with water.
