Kerry Ultrasonics has launched two new pieces of ultrasonic cleaning equipment, to remove oil, swarf and other manufacturing residues from machined parts
Installed as part of an existing automatic process, the transducer has led to an improvement in both cleaning quality and productivity.
Components are first pre-soaked in an alkaline solution to remove any grease or oil, before entering the ultrasonic bath which contains a mixture of detergents and rinse agents.
Immersion in an electro cleaner then precedes the plating stage, and the fittings are air-knifed dry.
Although throughput varies, the MMF manual ultrasonic bath would have been unable to cope with the volume of components requiring cleaning.
Kerry was able to secure the order through an on-site demonstration of the Sonopush efficiency: the 2000W, 25kHz probe takes just twenty minutes to leave fittings free from all contaminants.
