The Ultrasonic Support Removal Tank automatically removes PLA support material from ABS models . The tank uses one of
two methods to remove or weaken the material:
• Use caustic soda solution in the Ultrasonic Support Removal tank for 3 hours to dissolve the PLA material .
• Weakening the PLA material for manual removal by lightly scraping or by hot water soak for 48 hours

1 . Position the unit on a flat and stable work surface. Do not knock or move the tank during operation. This risks splashing

water onto electrical components .

2 .  Pour 0 .75 liters of water into the tank .
3 .  Place the models to be cleaned in the tank .
4 .  Close the lid, connect the power supply and press the power button to turn on the tank .
5 .  Use the -5 and +5 buttons to set the temperature . For best results, set the temperature to 80°C .
6 .  Set an alarm for 48 hours . Do not use the timer on the tank when using the hot water method . This is intended for the

ultrasonic operation used with the caustic soda method and will only run for 180 minutes .

7 . After 48 hours, remove your model from the tank using the provided plastic tongs and immediately run under cold water

for 1-2 minutes .

8 . Make sure you turned off the Ultrasonic Support Removal Tank .
9 . After the model has been washed, the PLA support material should crumble away easily . You can use a blunt knife to

scrape the support away from the model. Additional rinsing may help flush remaining support material fragments from
the model .

METHOD

ADVANTAGES

DISADVANTAGES

Hot water

Avoid use of corrosive chemicals

Support material requires slight physical
force to crumble away .
Support material in hidden cavities may
remain if user is unable to reach them .
Process is relatively extended .

Caustic soda

Quick removal .
Support material in hidden cavities will be
dissolved without physical force, provided
the solution can reach the cavity

Requires health and safety procedures .
