Whether the mold heating tube can be washed with water mainly depends on the timing and method of cleaning.
1、 Cleaning timing
The heating tube should not be immediately washed with cold water after heating. Because the material of the heating tube will expand due to heat during the heating process, if it is immediately rinsed with cold water, due to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, the heating tube is easily damaged and may even explode. Therefore, it is recommended to wait until the heating tube has completely cooled down before cleaning.
2、 Cleaning method
Conventional cleaning: For general cleaning, rinse with water at room temperature. However, it should be noted that during flushing, water should be avoided from directly impacting the wiring port or sensitive parts of the heating tube to prevent short circuits or damage.
Deep cleaning: If there is stubborn oil or dirt on the surface of the heating tube, professional cleaning agents may be needed for cleaning. When choosing a cleaning agent, it should be ensured that it is non corrosive to the material of the heating tube and strictly operated according to the instructions for using the cleaning agent.
Caution: During the cleaning process, avoid using hard objects to scratch the surface of the heating tube to avoid damaging its coating or affecting the heating effect. At the same time, after cleaning, ensure that the heating tube is completely dry before use to prevent short circuits or electrical leakage.
3、 Summary
In summary, the mold heating tube can be washed with water after complete cooling, but attention should be paid to the timing and method of cleaning. Avoid rinsing with cold water during or immediately after heating to prevent damage to the heating tube due to thermal expansion and contraction. At the same time, appropriate methods and cleaning agents should be used during the cleaning process, and the heating tube should be completely dried before use. This can effectively extend the service life of the heating tube and maintain its good heating effect.
