The Ultrasonic Support Removal Tank automatically removes PLA support material from ABS models. The tank uses one of
two methods to remove or weaken the material:
Use caustic soda solution in the Ultrasonic Support Removal tank for 3 hours to dissolve the PLA material.
Weakening the PLA material for manual removal by lightly scraping or by hot water soak for 48 hours
1. Position the unit on a at and stable work surface. Do not knock or move the tank during operation. This risks splashing
water onto electrical components.
2. Pour 0.75 liters of water into the tank.
3. Place the models to be cleaned in the tank.
4. Close the lid, connect the power supply and press the power button to turn on the tank.
5. Use the -5 and +5 buttons to set the temperature. For best results, set the temperature to 80°C.
6. Set an alarm for 48 hours. Do not use the timer on the tank when using the hot water method. This is intended for the
ultrasonic operation used with the caustic soda method and will only run for 180 minutes.
7. After 48 hours, remove your model from the tank using the provided plastic tongs and immediately run under cold water
for 1-2 minutes.
8. Make sure you turned off the Ultrasonic Support Removal Tank.
9. After the model has been washed, the PLA support material should crumble away easily. You can use a blunt knife to
scrape the support away from the model. Additional rinsing may help ush remaining support material fragments from
the model.
METHOD ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
Hot water Avoid use of corrosive chemicals Support material requires slight physical
force to crumble away.
Support material in hidden cavities may
remain if user is unable to reach them.
Process is relatively extended.
Caustic soda Quick removal.
Support material in hidden cavities will be
dissolved without physical force, provided
the solution can reach the cavity
Requires health and safety procedures.
