Ultrasonic Cleaning Equipment
Greco
Brothers Ultrasonic Cleaning Systems are the product of over 50
years of custom engineering experience and technical expertise.
We include only the highest quality sweep frequency ultrasonic
components in systems that are expertly designed with particular
attention to durability and ease of use. Whether you require a
simple ultrasonic cleaning tank or an automated cleaning bench,
we will be pleased to analyze every aspect of your application
and provide you with the most cost-effective solution to your
cleaning problem.
Ultrasonic Cleaning Tanks
Standard Ultrasonic
Tanks:
The standard batch tank is the simplest
ultrasonic cleaning system available. It consists of an ultrasonic
generator and a transducerized cleaning tank, (Diagram A). The transducerized
tank is constructed of stainless steel, with the transducer elements
bonded to the tank bottom. The ultrasonic energy is directed
upward through the tank. These systems are offered in the sizes
ranging from 10" x 12" x 10" deep to 20' X 24'
x 20" deep. They include the transducerized tank, sweep
frequency generator, thermostatically controlled heat, and connector
cables. All systems are available in frequencies of either 25
or 40 kHz. Stainless steel stands, covers, and filtration systems
are optionally available. |
Custom Ultrasonic Tanks:
When the part size or configuration
requires a special-sized ultrasonic cleaning tank, Greco Brothers
employs immersible transducers, (Diagram B). An immersible transducer
is a hermetically sealed stainless steel container which contains
a number of transducer elements. These transducers offer the
major advantage of versatility in system design. The custom cleaning
tank can be nearly any size that is appropriate to the application,
and the transducers can be mounted so that the ultrasonic energy
is directed and concentrated where it is needed most. |
The Complete Cleaning Process
Most cleaning applications require that the part be rinsed
and dried after cleaning. This can either be accomplished with
individual rinsing and drying systems, or in a consolidated cleaning
bench.
Individual Stations: Free-standing ultrasonic tanks,
rinse tanks and hot air dryers may be placed in line to create the complete cleaning process. Drip guards are installed between stations to keep liquid in the tanks. This approach offers the most versatility. If the cleaning process changes at some point in the future, tanks can be added or moved to accommodate the new process.
Consolidated Bench Construction:
Greco Brothers Ultrasonic Cleaning Benches offer several advantages over individual stations. Cleaning,
rinsing and drying stations are built into a stainless steel frame
and wired to a common electrical panel so that the electrical
portion of the installation is reduced to one connection. All electrical components
are connected to a recessed control panel on the front of the
bench. Water
inlets and outlets on each station are connected to common feed
and drain manifolds to further simplify the installation. Access panels on the front of the bench make it easy to perform routine maintenance tasks, and a removable stainless steel counter top
with a drip-proof lip simplify tank replacement if it should ever be necessary.
Closed-Loop/Deionized
Water Rinsing:
Rinse purification systems are
designed to eliminate the need to send rinse water to drain. These systems connect to the final rinse station(s) and circulate the rinse water through disposable treatment media; removing both organic and inorganic contaminants. By continuously
removing soap, contaminants, and minerals from the rinse water these recirculating
systems ensure that the final rinse station produces ultra-clean parts that can be dried spot-free.. |
Ultrasonic Rinsing:
If the parts have blind holes or are are particularly difficult
to rinse, ultrasonic transducers are installed in the initial
rinse station. This configuration ensures fluid flow through the tight or occluded crevices to remove any residual detergent or contaminants.
Static Rinses: A static rinse station is inserted between
the cleaning station and the first flowing rinse. The resulting
detergent-rich water in this station is used to replenish evaporative
losses in the ultrasonic; saving soap and extending the resin
life of the rinse purifier.
|
| Rotating Parts Barrels: These mechanisms are designed
to slowly rotate the parts as they are processed through each
cleaning stage. They are most useful with flat parts, which tend
to nest and with parts that contain small blind holes. |
Custom Designed Benches: In addition to the standard
models we offer, we also custom-build Consolidated Cleaning Benches to include only the cleaning, rinsing and drying
stations your process requires and
sized to meet your specific requirements. So if a standard system won't do, please call. You will be
surprised at how economical a custom cleaning system can be.
Our mobile sites are still in the development stage. For more detailed information on our systems, please call or visit our desktop site.
