ALSO: In 99% of the cleaning, I would have to agree I have found it all ends with steel wool,BUCKETS of waterless hand soap, and a putty knife. Some things will never change. IP: Logged |

Depending on process, etc., I've seen thin dense chrome and titanium nitride plating on dies (especially the lips) reduce plate-out in some circumstances. If your equipment is completely unplated, you might start with some electroless nickel plating to help keep the flow moving (as long as the base metal is in good enough shape to hold the plating), this might allow you to run longer between cleanings. Also, depending on what steel was used for manufacture, you might be able to put the parts in a vacuum-pyrolysis oven (Beringer used to make these, but I think they are owned by Dynisco now). I've heard of some companies that use a fluid-bed cleaning system as well. -Bob Cunningham IP: Logged |

If you try electroless nickel, be sure to get it heat treated to increase the platings "hardness". Heat treating increases ENP from 40 Rockwall to around 60 (Duplex Hard Chrome 70 Rockwall) Steve H IP: Logged |
