■　5 Key Concepts in Concept V Series System Design

Manufacturing processes in high-precision industries require stable parameters to avoid micro-level errors in components. The industrial washing systems by AQUA are engineered around five key pillars designed to optimize throughput and cleanliness:

• Stable Cleaning Quality: Eliminates variations caused by manual handling and chemical concentration fluctuations through a fully automated, multi-stage washing sequence combined with real-time parameter monitoring.
• Improving Productivity: Minimizes overall washing cycle times per basket using highly efficient ultrasonic transducers and optimized basket transfer mechanisms.
• Reducing Washing Agent Usage: Integrates an advanced vacuum distillation unit that captures contaminated agent vapors, condenses them, and recirculates pure solvent back into the washing loop.
• Reducing Manpower: Supports high levels of automation from loading, basket transfer, multi-stage washing, to final drying, minimizing manual interventions.
• Easy Maintenance: Designed for rapid servicing with easily accessible filter housings, logical piping routes, and straightforward chamber access to reduce equipment downtime.

■　Core Cleaning Technologies in Industrial Washing Systems

To achieve exceptional cleaning results for complex mechanical components, our closed-loop vacuum hydrocarbon washing systems rely on three interconnected physical principles inside a sealed vacuum chamber:

• Deaeration Ultrasonic (Ultrasonic Cleaning with Dissolved Oxygen Removal): At atmospheric pressure, cleaning fluids contain dissolved oxygen which attenuates cavitation and reduces ultrasonic power. Our systems pass the agent through a degassing unit, removing dissolved oxygen to generate powerful, unhindered cavitation.
• Vacuum Ultrasonic (Ultrasonic Cleaning Under Vacuum): Operating under reduced pressure eliminates trapped air pockets in blind holes, tapped sections, and intricate spaces. This enables the cleaning agent to reach and wash areas that are inaccessible under normal atmospheric pressure.
• Steam Cleaning & Vacuum Drying (Vapor Rinsing and Vacuum Drying): Heated solvent vapor is introduced into the wash chamber. Upon contacting the colder surfaces of the metal workpieces, it condenses into droplets and flushes away microscopic oil film residues. Finally, a dry vacuum pump creates a high vacuum, lowering the boiling point of the remaining solvent below the workpiece temperature. This causes immediate, spot-free evaporation and ensures the workpieces emerge completely dry.

■　Concept V Series: Multi-Tank Hydrocarbon Washing Machine

The Concept V Series represents our standard multi-tank hydrocarbon washing system built for mass production. It combines immersion washing, ultrasonic agitation, solvent vapor rinsing, and vacuum drying.

• Concept V VN3: Our standard 3-tank model. It integrates deaeration ultrasonic cleaning, vacuum ultrasonic cleaning, and vapor steam cleaning with vacuum drying. Optimized to complete a full washing cycle within 5 minutes per basket.
• Concept V V4SP: Our high-speed 4-tank model. Features an additional wash tank to support faster cycle times, reducing the tact time to 3 minutes per basket for high-output lines.

■　TETRA and TETRA SHOWER: Single-Tank Hydrocarbon Washing Machine

For facilities with restricted floor space, we developed the TETRA series, compacting all vital multi-stage washing, rinsing, and drying processes into a single vacuum chamber.

• TETRA: Executes immersion washing, rinsing, and vacuum drying sequentially in one closed chamber. Highly suited for small-to-medium production volumes with a cycle time of 10 minutes per basket.
• TETRA SHOWER: Built upon the standard TETRA layout, featuring a high-pressure swing-type shower function.
  • Ultrasonic Cleaning Load Reduced to 1/5: High-pressure spraying pre-cleans heavy oil and debris, drastically reducing the required ultrasonic duration.
  • No Pre-Washing Required: Workpieces with heavy drawing or cutting oil can be fed directly into the machine without manual pre-cleaning.
  • Distillation Regeneration Efficiency Improved by 5 Times: Accelerates oil-solvent separation inside the distillation circuit, preventing oil buildup in the washing chamber.

■　High-Performance Cleaning Agents: AQUA SOLVENT G Series and SK-720TL

Optimizing industrial washing requires a matching cleaning agent tailored to the physical properties of both the machine and the contaminant. AQUA manufactures high-purity hydrocarbon solvents and specialized water-based agents.

Isoparaffinic Hydrocarbon: AQUA SOLVENT G Series

This series consists of high-purity synthetic isoparaffinic hydrocarbon solvents. They are entirely free of sulfur, chlorine, and hazardous aromatic compounds such as benzene, xylene, and toluene. It features low odor, high flash points, and low toxicity, ensuring a safer work environment for operators.

• AQUA SOLVENT G(T) [Fast Drying Model]: Optimized specifically for rapid evaporation, reducing vacuum drying cycles.
  • Flash Point: 49 degrees C
  • Ignition Point: 445 degrees C
  • Initial Boiling Point: 178.5 degrees C
  • Evaporation Performance: Under controlled laboratory drying tests at 30 degrees C (using 10 g of solvent in a 90 mm petri dish), G(T) achieves complete 100% dry status within approximately 5 hours, evaporating significantly faster than standard industrial hydrocarbon solvents.
• AQUA SOLVENT G(B) [High Safety Model]: Tailored for standard operating environments requiring elevated flash points to prevent ignition hazards at high ambient temperatures.
  • Flash Point: 75 degrees C
  • Ignition Point: 230 degrees C
  • Initial Boiling Point: 190 degrees C

■　Mold Cleaning Solution: PR Electrolysis + Ultrasonic System

During rubber vulcanization and plastic molding processes, high-temperature outgassing causes carbonized residues, mold release agent scale, and oxide films to bake onto mold surfaces. Conventional cleaning methods struggle to clear these residues without damaging precision steel faces.

Our PR Electrolysis method combined with ultrasonic waves (Electrolysis Ultrasonic Washing Machine) resolves this by lifting baked deposits rapidly without causing any surface erosion or dimensional changes to the metal molds.

Dual Action Electrochemical Mechanism

• Direct Current Electrolysis: Applying direct current to the mold inside an alkaline electrolyte bath splits water molecules, forming high-density micro-hydrogen bubbles at the interface between the steel surface and the carbonized residue. The expansion and peeling force of these bubbles lift the solid scales from underneath.
• Periodic Reverse (PR) Electrolysis: Periodically reverses the electrical current direction, alternating the generation of oxygen and hydrogen bubbles. This creates continuous pulling and pushing forces that thoroughly strip oxide films and stubborn outgassing scales across the entire mold structure.
• Ultrasonic Wave Agitation: Works in synergy with the electrochemical reaction, generating high-frequency micro-cavitation to scrub loosened scale from micro-slits, narrow gas vents, and intricate textures.

Applying this dual-action solution with our specialized water-based agent, AQUA CLEAN SK-720TL, maximizes the cleaning speed and protects steel mold surfaces.

■　Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How can we thoroughly clean carbonized scales and outgassing residue from steel molds without causing mechanical damage to critical surfaces?
A1: We recommend using our Periodic Reverse (PR) Electrolysis combined with Ultrasonic cleaning. This process generates dense hydrogen and oxygen bubbles directly at the interface of the steel surface and the scale to lift deposits without mechanical abrasion. Combining this with our water-based alkaline agent (AQUA CLEAN SK-720TL) as the electrolyte ensures rapid, damage-free removal of burnt rubber scales and outgassing film from narrow slitted surfaces and gas vents.

Q2: What is the optimal vacuum cleaning method to ensure that complex mechanical components with tapped holes and narrow slits emerge completely clean and dry?
A2: We recommend using our closed-loop vacuum hydrocarbon washing machines (such as the Concept V or TETRA series) featuring Deaeration Ultrasonic and Vacuum Ultrasonic technologies. Operating under vacuum eliminates air pockets from blind holes and crevices, forcing the agent to penetrate deep into complex geometries. This is followed by a steam vapor rinse and a high-vacuum dry sequence, which evaporates remaining solvent droplets instantly from the workpiece surface, ensuring 100% dry, spot-free finishes.
