The team of Ecotecne specialists has devised an innovative high cavitation ultrasound washing system for cleaning and washing moulds for hollow glass. According to Ecotecne, this system developed in our laboratories is a microcleaning process that is faster than traditional cleaning and is achieved by immersion in ultrasound tanks containing alkaline and acid solutions. Patented ®
The entire system is PLC-controlled and uses robotized carriages. It is compact, practical, flexible, cheap and environmentally friendly. The moulds are guaranteed against wear for over 80% of their average life cycle. According to Ecotecne, the entire process complies with all environmental standards.
