Cleaning

Guyson Corp. has designed and built an automated tire mold cleaning system that features a precision nozzle manipulator with three axes of movement. The custom pressure-blast machine is engineered to quickly and non-destructively clean both two-piece and segmented molds.

Madison Chemical introduces Stripper Q-17, a premium, powdered, heavy-duty alkaline paint stripper for ferrous metals. This versatile product can also remove light rust and coatings such as varnish, lacquer, alkyd and acrylic.

Blackstone-NEY Ultrasonics, a division of Cleaning Technologies Group LLC, introduces an innovation in a spray and ultrasonic combination aqueous parts cleaning system. The new Rotosonic (Patent Pending) will clean heavily soiled parts in a single machine, rather than having to purchase a spray cabinet and an ultrasonic machine separately.

HemiPleat premium retrofit filter cartridges from Camfil APC fit most leading dust collector brands and are guaranteed to last longer than standard filters. HemiPleat filters use a patented pleating technology that exposes more filter media to the air stream to boost the performance of industrial dust collectors.

Houghton International has developed an advanced cleaner designed to replace solvents in precision cleaning applications. Houghto-Rinse RTD is a water-based, nonflammable, ready-to-use cleaner that delivers outstanding process performance and surface appearance in a range of surface finishing applications.

Today, parts cleaning mostly means to fulfill defined cleanliness specifications. In order to clean as economically as possible, the potential of the cleaning system needs to be fully exploited. This is often prevented by the cleaning container. With the MEFO-BOX system, Metallform has developed a solution whose well thought-out design offers key advantages.

Dry ice cleaning is an innovative cleaning technology that can save both time and money in nearly any manufacturing environment. It is similar to other types of media blasting, but the Cold Jet systems use recycled CO2 in the form of dry ice to clean and prepare surfaces. The dry, nonconductive CO2 pellets are accelerated at supersonic speeds through a specialized hose and nozzle. Once the dry ice strikes the surface, the effect of the combination of kinetic energy transfer, thermal shock and gas expansion breaks the bond between the substrate and the contaminant and flushes the contaminant away.

Omegasonics announced Plural Additive Manufacturing, the exclusive North American distributor for industrial 3D printers manufactured by 3ntr, is offering Omegasonics new 815BTX cleaning unit to those purchasing its 3D printers to assist with removing support material.

EXAIR’s 3/8″ Super Air Wipe produces a 360° airstream that can blow off, dry, clean or cool the material passing through it. The split design can be clamped around continuously moving material such as wire, cable, pipe, hose and extruded shapes.

EXAIR's new 303SS Air Jets provide reliable and efficient blowoff and cleaning within corrosive, high temperature or washdown environments. These 1/8 NPT stainless steel air jets replace open tubes and pipe nipples on parts cleaning, drying and cooling operations. With temperature rated up to 400 degrees F, they will produce up to 1.25 pounds of force upon a target.
