Changing Solution In The Tank - Stratasys FORTUS 360mc Manual

Changing Solution in the Tank

How often the solution is changed is dependant on the tank used, how it is
maintain, and the complexities of the parts built. Stratasys recommends
changing the solution after removing approximately 25 cubic inches (410 cc)
of support material.
The following conditions indicate that the solution should be changed:
• White parts turn brown or yellow.
• Parts have a sticky residue or stick together in the solution tank.
• Functional parts with moving features are not functioning
properly.
• Parts have shiny surfaces.
• Small pieces of plastic stick to cleaned parts and cannot be
removed.
• Support material is not fully removed after a long cleaning cycle.
• Parts crack when soaking during the cleaning cycle (cracking is
more evident with small parts).
Note: Parts must be completely immersed in solution to
adequately remove support material.
