Top Load Vertical Transfer Impregnation with Rotational Washing and Curing
This is a schematic overview of the four cycles of the process.
Pre-Wash
Unless components are free from production detergents, it is recommended that the process starts with a cascade pre-wash in a neutral chemical wash.
This process cycle consists of:
| 1. Rotational wash 60° – 80° | 3.00 mins |
| 2. Index drain | 4.75 mins |
| 3. Steam extract | 2.50 mins |
| Total: | 10.00 mins |
Vacuum Impregnation
Workload is held in a transfer device within the autoclave that descends and ascends the workload whilst the lid is closed.
This process cycle consists of:
| 1. Dry vacuum to 20mb | 7.00 mins |
| 2. Workload immersion | 0.75 mins |
| 3. Exhaust & soak | 0.25 mins |
| 4. Workload reset/sealant drain | 2.00 mins |
| Total: | 10.00 mins |
Cold Wash
The cold wash solution is a balanced aqueous formulation that induces sealant removal from the surfaces of the work load, that is then allowed to separate from the wash solution for recovery and re-use.
This process cycle consists of:
| 1. Rotational wash 20° – 25° | 2.50 mins |
| 2. Index drain | 4.50 mins |
| Total: | 7.00 mins |
Hot Cure
Cascade of hot solution brings the components up to temperature quickly to seal the impregnant into the pores.
This process cycle consists of:
| 1. Rotational wash 92° – 95° | 7.50 mins |
| 2. Index drain | 1.50 mins |
| 3. Steam extract | 1.00 mins |
| Total: | 10.00 mins |
