Application - description of the various clelaning methods/ BrandEx® Austria
(please click at the application!)
Is the cleaning of the plasticating unit (screw, cylinder, nozzle) of persistent disposals such as cracking, burning, pigmentations, which otherwise can only be cleaned by means of a screw extractor and manual maintenance.
Switching of material and colour
Is a quick and very gentle change of the processing thermoplastic in relation to colour and quality. This change only works really quick, if the plasticating unit was really clean initially (a preventive cleaning cycle must be generated).
Is the basic cleaning of the hot runner. With our BrandEx®-types we are able to clean open tools (is the quickest version), closed (if technically not possible to be open) and even high gloss polished tools (in this case it is essential to contact our application engineer for advice).
Is the controlled stoppage of the injection moulding machine or the extruder at weekends or bank holidays. It primarily serves as a prevention measure against burning or cracking and reduces the application of a basic cleaning. The machine can thereby be switched off completely, or just be lowered.
High-temperature basic cleaning
Is the cleaning of the plasticating unit (screw, cylinder, nozzle) of persistent disposals (cracking, burning, pigmentations) in a working range from 320º - 450º C (for this special cleaning it is absolutely necessary for you to contact our application engineer for advice).
Is a specific cleaning method, which is applied during a basic cleaning of very contaminated injection moulding machines or extruders (which for instance have never been cleaned) – This cleaning method should only be applied together with our application engineer.
Specialities when cleaning
Sometimes there were used filter or mixing machines, that have shadow area what makes a cleaning very difficult.
