Application Medical device industry requires cleaning medical equipment during manufacturing to ensure extrusion molded surfaces are cleaned of soils and any polymer particulate (flash, dust, etc). The parts can often be bundled which can pose a challenge for cleaning. With the side mounted flushing feature, the system is able to clean the catheters in a combine bundle […]
Ultrasonic Cleaning Systems Case Studies - Case Studies
Bi-Solvent and Co-Solvent Vapor Degreasers
The newer generation vapor degreasing solvents are more “environmentally and operator friendly” and more companies are finally shifting from NPB (n-propyl bromide) and TCE (trichloroethylene.) However, the newer HFE/HFC solvents are typically weaker solvents that do not remove heavier oils, grease, flux or wax as well with the removal of multiple chlorine and bromine atoms […]
3M Novec 72DA 73DE Solvent Vapor Degreaser For Medical Device Instruments
Application Many times the geometry of a part makes it difficult for aqueous cleaning systems to clean the entire part – inside and out. Small features like blind holes or even through holes with a very small diameter means that the water based solutions may not be able to wick or wet into an area […]
3D Printer / FDM Parts Post Process Ultrasonic Cleaning
Application The booming industry of 3D printed parts or FDM (Fused deposition modeling) for rapid prototyping and, in some cases, final use requires post processing of the parts to remove the support structure that is also printed to support the printed parts during printing. Our bench top ultrasonic cleaners and systems – in combination with […]
Machine Shop Parts Washer for Swiss and CNC Precision Parts
Parts Cleaner Machine Application Machine shops often need to wash parts that come out of machining centers with true oils (petroleum based) as well as water soluble coolants. Most tool shops start with a simple drum mounted solvent parts washer equipment but quickly outgrow the size and capabilities because it can only clean true oil […]
Ultrasonic Window Blind Cleaner – Ultrasonic Blind Cleaning Machines & Equipment
Customer Application One of the most difficult window treatments to cleaning either residential homes or commercial offices are window blinds. Trying to dust a window blind with a duster or vacuum only goes cleans just what can be lifted off by wiping, but years of dust and grime need to be scrubbed to loosen the […]
Automated Ultrasonic Injection Mold Cleaner System
The automated ultrasonic cleaning system washes, rinses, and dries various sizes of injection molds to remove resin gas buildup formed during plastic injection molding. The system is capable of processing 250 lb molds with additional capacity of overhead hoist to hold the molds during cleaning. The injection mold cleaner system consists of a 70 gallon, […]
Automated Ultrasonic Citric / Nitric Acid Passivation Equipment for Medical Device and General Parts
Application for Medical Device Passivation Case Study The automated ultrasonic passivation system processes medical device industry parts with precision part cleaning and nitric or citric acid passivation after machining and/or laser mark. The system is able to passivate the following grades of stainless steel: 17-4, 304, 316, various 400 series and the like with a neutral […]
Manual Benchtop Ultrasonic Citric Passivation System for Medical Device Parts
Application The benchtop ultrasonic citric passivation system processes medical device industry parts with precision part cleaning and passivation after machining and laser mark. The customer, Integrated Technology , is able to passivate the following grades of stainless steel: 17-4, 304 and 316 with a neutral pH alkaline cleaner and Citrisurf® 2250. Other stainless steel grades are possible […]
Medical Device Guidewire Automated Ultrasonic Cleaning and Passivation System
Application Medical device sterilization requires guide wire cleaning and passivation after grinding and processing. The parts are bundled and have a film of grinding particulate and oil coating them. The system is able to clean the wires in a combine bundle rather than separated individually. The automated wash-rinse-passivate-rinse-final rinse combined with the ability to process bundles of […]
