By participating in hands-on exercises of techniques for cleaning and cleanliness verification, attendees gain the understanding and knowledge to make practical, effective, and sustainable manufacturing decisions. While exercises are supplemented by demonstrations and tutorials, the workshop is not death by PowerPoint! Topics include aqueous, solvent, and &#;non-chemical&#; cleaning, including cleaning chemicals and cleaning processes (spray, ultrasonics, cyclic nucleation, in-line, batch). Most manufactured product and product contact surfaces require cleaning during (and sometimes after) manufacture and assembly.  Examples of areas where effective cleaning is essential include: metal fabrication, product assembly, optics, electronics, microelectronics, wafer fab, medical devices, aerospace/aeronautics, military, and additive manufacturing. WHAT DO YOU CALL CLEANING? There are many different terms for cleaning. Cleaning Precision Cleaning Critical Cleaning Safety/Critical Cleaning Surface Prep for Finishing Technical Cleanliness Residue Removal WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM THE WORKSHOP If you or your company fabricates, finishes, maintains or repairs product or product contact surfaces (like reaction vessels), this workshop is time well-spent. If you sell chemicals or cleaning equipment, this workshop will help you better understand and optimize the market for your products.

Dual Injection Molding - the process of injecting two colors at once

by Brennan ChapmanDual, twin, laminate colors, whichever you prefer to call it, is the process of injecting two colors at once. This offers bait makers the ability to imitate natural forages that our game species target. It also allows us to make some pretty wild stuff. Depending on the clarity and forage in the body of water I am fishing that day, I could be shooting baits to imitate a shiner, bluegill, crawfish, or something bright that is sure to grab the attention of fish in water with poor visibility. To make things universal for you tackle crafters around the world, I chose the Midwest Finesse softbait mold for this segment, otherwise known as the &#;Ned&#;. It&#;s simplistic shape and unique presentation to fish, has proven time and time again, it&#;s worthiness to be thrown into the mix for both fresh and saltwater applications. While some of us are fortunate enough to have beautiful, clear water to fish regularly, one thing we all have in common no matter where we are located, is the accessibility to stained water. For the sake of keeping things universal once again, I chose a stained water color. Many are intimidated by the process, but dual injecting your favorite colors is actually very simple. The number one aspect to remember when dual injecting, is temperature. We all know that your Plastisol must reach 350 degrees to convert from a liquid to gel state, and this is still certainly the case with dual injecting. However, it is very important that your temperatures remain consistent when shooting. To be safe, I make sure that both of my measuring cups are within 15 degrees of each other before I draw plastic through my dual injector. This assures that one color is not drastically hotter than the other, causing it to flow faster through my mold, thus either overpowering one color, or even mixing them entirely. I typically start injecting between 300 and 330 degrees. Some molds however, shoot better at even higher temperatures. The intimidation factor for most folks, is figuring out how to operate their dual injector. The dual injector by Do-it is not only easy to function, but is easily broken down into single injectors, making it a cost effective tool for tackle crafters. Within a few attempts, you will be wondering to yourself, &#;Why didn&#;t I buy one of these sooner?&#;
