Water Spots on Medical Devices After Washer Cleaning
Q. We are washing stainless medical devices in a washer and are getting water spots. We are using Solujet and Citrajet. What’s causing this problem?
A. Water spots typically occur because of two main reasons: the orientation of the parts in the washer is trapping dirty wash water and/or detergent dosing is insufficient.
Static and Dynamic Spray Balls for Clean in Place
Q. What are the differences between Static and Dynamic spray balls in CIP machines? A. The typical considerations in using either static or dynamic spray balls in CIP (clean-in-place) are that….
Residual Chlorine on Printed Circuit Boards
Q. We have found chlorine present on our printed circuit boards after ultrasonic cleaning and distilled water rinse. As ultrasonic cleaning detergent, we’re using either Liquinox or Detergent 8, but are unsure which one was used on affected boards. Could either be contributing to this issue?
A. It’s highly unlikely that either detergent, or your cleaning process, is the source of the chlorine residue. The cleaning process you described, if using detergent at recommended dilution levels, should successfully remove flux and process residues.
Range Lead Exposure
Making an indoor gun range safe from lead dust is possible with proper air ventilation and proper cleaning procedures that focus on lead abatement. When it comes to lead dust, it’s important to never dry sweep or shovel bullet debris. Wet cleaning, with proper lead dust cleaner is also essential.
How does Solujet stack up to a leading CIP detergent?
Unlike A LEADING CIP CLEANER, Solujet has high wetting surfactants that enhance emulsifying, wetting, dispersing and rinsing. The surfactants allow faster, more efficient cleaning and easier rinsing.
