The smallest machine’s footprint is 60x400 mm.
Niagara’s cleaning technology includes a holding fixture that revolves or swivels around the horizontal axis. A special nozzle frame provides the best cleaning and nozzle/nozzle frames can be adapted to the workpiece. Maximum permitted load and the permitted dimensions are adjustable.
Processing takes place in several steps. These involve washing spray cleaning, flood cleaning, injection flood cleaning and ultrasound cleaning. Subsequent steps include several optional features such as: demineralized water, drying with pneumatic pulse, hot air, circulating air, vacuum with infrared support if needed.
