Automatic Hydrocarbon Ultrasonic Cleaning Machine PTC6 - 5065V2RT from China Suppliers and Factory for Battery Cases
Applicable Workpieces
Production Capacity and Specifications
Minimum Workpiece Size
The machine can accommodate metal battery cases with a minimum diameter of 14mm, demonstrating its versatility in handling different sizes of battery cases within a certain range.
Capacity
It has an impressive production capacity of 5000 pieces in just 10 minutes. This high throughput rate makes it suitable for large-scale production operations, enabling efficient cleaning of a significant number of battery cases in a relatively short time, thus improving overall production efficiency.
Cleaning Liquid Selection
Utilizes a hydrocarbon series cleaning liquid (second-class petroleum), which is well-suited for effectively removing contaminants, oils, and impurities from the metal surfaces of the battery cases. This cleaning liquid is chosen for its compatibility with the metal material and its ability to provide thorough cleaning without causing damage or leaving residues.
Cleaning Cycle Time
The fastest cleaning cycle is one basket every 3 minutes, and the cleaning time is adjustable and can be set on the touchscreen. This flexibility allows for precise customization of the cleaning process according to the specific needs and conditions of the battery cases, ensuring optimal cleaning efficiency while also accommodating different levels of dirtiness or production requirements.
Cleaning Process
1 Loading
Manual loading of the battery cases at the upper feeding port. This initial step requires careful placement of the workpieces to ensure proper alignment and smooth progression into the subsequent cleaning stages.
2 1# Degassing Immersion Ultrasonic Cleaning Tank
In the first stage, the battery cases are placed in a degassing immersion ultrasonic cleaning tank. The degassing process helps to remove any trapped air or gases from the surface and internal parts of the battery cases, enhancing the effectiveness of the ultrasonic cleaning. The immersion aspect allows for comprehensive coverage of the workpiece with the cleaning liquid, while the ultrasonic waves create microscopic bubbles that implode, dislodging dirt and contaminants in a thorough and efficient manner.
3 2# Vacuum Ultrasonic Cleaning Tank
After the initial degassing and ultrasonic cleaning, the battery cases move to the vacuum ultrasonic cleaning tank. The vacuum environment in this stage further improves the cleaning efficiency by reducing the boiling point of the cleaning liquid and increasing its penetration power. The ultrasonic cleaning under vacuum conditions provides a more refined and detailed cleaning, ensuring that even the smallest impurities are removed from the surface and crevices of the battery cases, resulting in a high level of cleanliness.
4 3# Vacuum Ultrasonic Rinsing Tank
In the rinsing stage, the battery cases are transferred to the vacuum ultrasonic rinsing tank. Here, the ultrasonic waves in the vacuum environment help to remove any remaining traces of the cleaning liquid and further rinse the surfaces of the battery cases. The vacuum-assisted rinsing ensures a more thorough and uniform rinse, leaving the battery cases clean and ready for the next step.
5 Draining Tank
The battery cases then move to the draining tank, where any excess liquid is drained off. This step helps to prepare the workpieces for the subsequent drying process and ensures that there is no excessive liquid carryover that could affect the drying efficiency or quality.
6 Alternating Through 5# and 6# Vacuum Steam Cleaning + Vacuum Drying Tanks
The battery cases alternately pass through the 5# and 6# vacuum steam cleaning + vacuum drying tanks. In the vacuum steam cleaning process, the steam helps to dissolve and remove any remaining contaminants and oils, providing a final and thorough cleaning. Then, the vacuum drying process is carried out to remove all moisture from the battery cases, ensuring that they are completely dry and ready for the next stage of production or use. The alternating design of the two tanks may be for reasons such as increased throughput, redundancy in case of maintenance or malfunction, or to optimize the overall cleaning and drying process.
7 Discharging Mechanism
The cleaned and dried battery cases are then transferred to the discharging mechanism, which is responsible for moving the workpieces out of the cleaning machine in an organized and efficient manner. This step ensures that the cleaned battery cases are properly discharged and ready for further handling or processing.
8 Conveyor Track Cooling
After discharging, the battery cases pass through a conveyor track cooling section. This cooling process helps to stabilize the temperature of the battery cases, which may be important for subsequent processing steps or to prevent any potential thermal deformation or damage. The cooling system is designed to efficiently reduce the temperature of the battery cases to a suitable level, ensuring their integrity and readiness for the next stage of production.
9 Unloading
Manual unloading of the cooled and clean battery cases at the lower feeding port. This final step completes the cleaning process and makes the battery cases available for further use in the production line or other applications.
