1. A method of manufacturing a magnetic recording medium substrate, the method comprising:
cleaning the magnetic recording medium substrates using a lifting and drying device for cleaning a substrate by immersing one or more disk-like substrates with a central hole into a cleaning liquid disposed in a cleaning tank, and lifting and drying the substrate, the lifting and drying device comprising: a hanger mechanism that is inserted through the central hole of the substrates and supports the substrates while being hung thereon; an elevation mechanism that elevates the hanger mechanism between a position where the substrates are immersed into the cleaning liquid inside the cleaning tank and a position where the substrates are lifted from the cleaning tank; an ejection mechanism that is disposed in the cleaning tank and ejects the cleaning liquid from the downside of the hanger mechanism toward the substrates; and a blowing mechanism that blows a dry ambient gas on the substrates lifted from the surface of the cleaning liquid from the upside thereof; wherein the ejection mechanism is an mechanism wherein the ejected cleaning liquid flows, from the downside to the upside, toward a position where the lifted substrates move away from the surface of the cleaning liquid, and the cleaning liquid is divided toward both side surfaces of the cleaning tank in the vicinity of the surface of the liquid, and the blowing mechanism is an mechanism wherein the dry ambient gas is blown at a position where the lifted substrates move away from the surface of the cleaning liquid, so that the dry ambient gas flow toward the surface of the cleaning liquid from the upside to the downside, and the dry ambient gas is divided toward both side surfaces of the cleaning tank. |
