Ultrasonic cleaning
principle
The Photocentric wash unit is an ultrasonic cleaner
for use in both industrial and domestic usage.
Made from high-quality stainless steel plate, the
Photocentric wash unit oers a strong ultrasonic
power output. Residue resin can be extremely hard to
remove by hand; however, it becomes easy with the
use of the Photocentric Wash unit and Photocentric
Cleaner. All 3D printed parts can be cleaned in the
ultrasonic process to remove resin residue, this can
be achieved to a ‘perfect’ condition with the use of
Photocentric Cleaner.

Product Operation
Usage
The following instructions will ensure safe and
correct use of your Photocentric Wash unit:
• Step 1: Place ultrasonic cleaner on a at,
stable surface.
• Step 2: Add Photocentric Cleaner to a level
where it will not overow – approximately
2/3 full.
• Step 3: Plug in the cleaner and switch
on via the switch at the rear of the unit if
present, otherwise at the wall socket. (If no
buttons are pressed, after eight hours your
ultrasonic cleaner will go into power save
mode. To restore power, press any button.
• Step 4: Place your printed part or
platform into the ultrasonic cleaner. If your
Photocentric Cleaner is completely full
of liquid with the printed parts immersed
then place the lid back on your cleaner to
prevent spillage.
• Step 5: Set the timer to the relevant
settings; we advise a maximum of 5
minutes for most printed parts. Then set
the ultrasonic power to maximum. Once
set, press the on button and this will enable
the ultrasonic function.
• Step 6: To end the cleaning process, press
the corresponding key again; if nothing
is pressed the ultrasonic will stop when
the timer reaches 00:00. Once your part
is nished washing, remove it from the
ultrasonic cleaner and then rinse down
with water. Removing the residue cleaner
is an essential step to getting a smooth
surface nish.

Maintenance
• Empty the liquid out of your Photocentric wash
unit after either a month of usage, or when it
is no longer cleaning your parts properly, the
specic option will depend on how frequently
the machine is in use. To empty the liquid,
disconnect all power supplies and carefully
place the out valve (as seen in the earlier
diagram) over a bottle or container. Once
positioned turn the valve to release all of the
Photocentric cleaner from inside your wash
unit. This bottle or container needs to then be
sealed and disposed of following your country’s
regulations and guidelines.
• Use a low power air compressor to clean dust
from the control system regularly
• Once a month on emptying the cleaner out
of your wash unit we also advise cleaning the
inside of the ultrasonic, please do this whilst
the machine is turned o, empty and not
connected to the power.

replace the cleaning solution more frequently
than is needed

Photocentric cleaner inside

explosion and will void the warranty of your

damage your tank.

during use.
