  Abstract

In this study, evaluation tests for cleaning performance of various cleaning agents and selection of optimal ultrasonic cleaning parameters were executed to develop an efficient cleaning process in remanufacturing of laser copy machine. Cleaning performance tests were executed with 8 cleaning agents (A~H) to remove the contaminants of oil-ink, toner particles, and shoe polish. Physical properties and foamability tests were also applied. For 3 types of contaminants, cleaning agent G showed superior cleaning performance compared to agent A which has being used at a remanufacturing of laser copy machine in Korea. With cleaning agents selected in pre-tests, ultrasonic cleaning tests were executed to remove real contaminants on the parts of used digital laser copy machine parts. Cleaning agent G at 28 kHz ultrasonic frequency showed faster cleaning performance compared to agent A and other frequencies. The productivity and economic efficiency in remanufacturing of laser copy machine are expected to increase by adapting agent G and 28 kHz frequency at ultrasonic cleaning process.
