# Industrial Specification: Automated Cleaning Module

## 1. Technical Definition
A specialized component within an Automated Mold Preparation Station that performs automated cleaning of molds between production cycles.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.0 MPa (5-20 bar) at 60-80°C cleaning fluid temperature**. Failure boundary: **Fluid pressure exceeding 2.5 MPa (25 bar) or dropping below 0.3 MPa (3 bar) for &gt;30 seconds**, Mechanism: **Cavitation-induced erosion at low pressure (below vapor pressure of cleaning fluid at operating temperature) and mechanical fatigue from pressure cycling beyond yield strength of stainless steel 316L components (σ_y = 290 MPa)**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Heat Sterilization F0 Lethality Model**:

> **Primary Equation**: $F_0 = \int_{0}^{t} 10^{(T-121.1)/z} dt$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Validates microbial reduction integrity for aseptic packaging.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| T | Process Temp (°C) | **$T \in [60-80°C]$ °C** (Per `temperature_range`) |
| t | Exposure Time (min) | Engineering Constant |
| z | Z-value | **10 °C** (Standard for *C. botulinum*) |

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Particulate contamination exceeding 15 μm in cleaning fluid | 8 | Nozzle orifice erosion increasing diameter from 0.5 mm to &gt;0.8 mm | Install 10 μm absolute filtration with differential pressure monitoring (ΔP &gt; 0.15 MPa triggers maintenance) |
| Thermal cycling between 20°C ambient and 80°C operating temperature at &gt;5 cycles/hour | 8 | Thermal fatigue cracking in welded joints (ΔT = 60°C, α = 16.5 μm/m·°C for 316L) | Implement controlled temperature ramp (max 10°C/minute) and expansion loop design in piping |
