Ultrasonic Parts Cleaning Systems



Blackstone-NEY Ultrasonics has introduced the Agi-Sonic AS-6000 ultrasonic parts cleaning systems.

"The combination of ultrasonics and part agitation has been demonstrated to provide the best results in challenging applications such as engine and transmission remanufacturing and aerospace MRO for the removal of corrosion and carbonaceous soils," said a company spokesperson. "In parallel, the systems are employed in day-to-day manufacturing applications such as component degreasing, swarf removal and passivation in nearly every industry."

The spokesperson continued, "In recent years, our customers have asked us for a larger version of the Agi-sonic with higher payload and larger working envelopes. With payload capacity up to 500 lbs. and tank volumes of up to 675 gallons, the AS-6000 answers the call. These larger systems have already been deployed in applications such a mold cleaning and degreasing of exhaust systems for heavy duty trucks."

In addition to part agitation and improved ultrasonic performance, the systems also include particle filtration, sparging and oil skimming as standard features to further enhance cleaning performance and maximize the useful life of the cleaning chemistry. The system HMI allows recipe setting to control cycle time and temperature, ultrasonic power and pump recirculation cycles. The auto-fill functionality provides adequate liquid level for proper oil separation and filtration function and the lift-out platform returns the parts basket to the operator level at the completion of the cycle.

The Agi-sonic units can be linked together with standard roller platforms and optional dryers to create semi-automated cleaning lines to reduce the need for operator support. Fully automated hoist and control systems are also offered for customers requiring a complete system solution.
