| Ultrasonic Cleaner | Cleaning Fluids | Temperature(s) | Concentration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Versa 120 Wash | Decoclean 440 | 70°C | 5% |
| Versa 120 Wash | Tap water | 50°C | 100% |
| Versa 120 Dryer | N/A | 70°C | N/A |
Process for cleaning chains:
Chain B was cleaned in the Decoclean 440, exactly the same as before with chain A but for an increased time. The chain had a total cleaning time of 1 hour. The chain was then rinsed for 3 minutes and dried for 10 minutes at 70°C. The increase in time showed good results. We advise filtration on the wash tank to prolong the life of the fluid.
