Rinsing (Tank 2)
When lowering the items into the tank via baskets or tongs, be sure to arrange the
items so they are not touching the bottom of the tank. They should be suspended at
least ½” above the tank bottom. This can be achieved with the use of a tank rack.
Items should not be stacked too densely.
The volume of parts to be rinsed should not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the total
tank volume.
Rinse times will vary depending on the temperature of the solution and the number
of parts to be rinsed. Generally, (3) to five (5) minutes is sufficient.
After completion of the rinse process, remove the items via basket and transfer to
Tank 3 (Drying Chamber).
If parts must be handled, wear gloves when touching surfaces to protect against
heated items
Drying (Tank 3)
Any items that hold or “cup” any appreciable amount of water should be drained or
blown off via compressed air.
Lower the basket, containing the contents to be dried, into Tank 3.
Do not leave the lid open for extended times and this cause the heaters to remain on
for unnecessary long periods and this can shorten the life of the heater elements.
After the timer has cycled off, open the lid, and remove the contents from the tank.
