Follow these important steps to ensure that purging with Asaclean® is most effective:

Purging Tips for Injection Molding

• For screw and barrel cleaning, keep the screw in the full forward position by increasing back pressure to the MAXIMUM safe level.
• Increase the screw speed to the MAXIMUM safe level once the barrel is full of Asaclean®.
• Once the purge pile is free of contamination, clean the nozzle area and check ring by dropping the back pressure and performing short, high-velocity shots.
• IMPORTANT: To displace the Asaclean® from the machine, follow the same procedures as above when
first introducing the next resin (i.e. Screw forward, high back pressure and high screw speed).
