Follow on Google News | From the Back of a Fag Packet to a Unique Cleaning and Drying SystemLayton Technologies use their expertise in precision cleaning to design and build a unique cleaning and drying system
By: Layton Technologies Limited The task was to design a system which was able to ultrasonically clean, rinse and dry thin sheets of titanium which varied in size up to 6 metres long and 1.5 metres wide. The sheet had multiple profiled holes, 50 microns in diameter which were cut with a unique and patented laser sintering technique. After cutting, the holes contained sanding debris, titanium particles and paste. It was anticipated that the sheets would be delivered to the machine from a coil. These sheets of titanium were extremely valuable in terms of saleable product – but only if they were cleaned to the customer’s specification. Layton produced a detailed design for a machine consisting of a chamber with an aqueous wash with ultrasonic agitation, a spray rinse and a dual air knife drying system. The design allowed the sheet to be loaded by means of a roller and exit the system onto a second roller. The time through the process is such as to give the sheet a dwell time of 10 minutes in the ultrasonics. This means that a 6 metre sheet only takes approximately 1 hour to process completely. The sheets are inspected visually under a microscope for cleanliness on completion.
