Kerry Ultrasonics has launched two new pieces of ultrasonic cleaning equipment, to remove oil, swarf and other manufacturing residues from machined parts
Kerry offers a number of cleaning methods.
While a simple ultrasonic clean and rinse is normally sufficient for window extrusion dies, more complicated objects such as medical implants and O-rings require the thoroughness of a fully automated clean, two-stage rinse and hot air drying procedure.
High intensity ultrasonic cleaning is a fast, meticulous but gentle cleaning method.
Ultrasonic frequencies created by the Kerry Pulsatron Mk III generator are perfectly suited to the critical surfaces of mould tools, which can easily become damaged by more aggressive cleaning techniques, resulting in imperfect mouldings.
When applied to this industrial sector, the efficiency of ultrasonics leads to dramatic reductions in cleaning time.
Manual abrasion of up to six hours, coupled with shot-blasting in extreme cases, is replaced by a twenty-minute process.
This also brings significant savings in subsequent tool changeover downtime.
