1. Food
In the food processing industry, maintaining cleanliness and hygiene is critical to ensure product safety and meet stringent health regulations. The best industrial ultrasonic cleaner can streamline the cleaning process and help prevent contamination, and ensure compliance with health and safety standards.
The best industrial ultrasonic cleaning technology for this industry is
BR-FOOD series – An ultrasonic cleaner specifically engineered for optimal cleaning, sanitising, and disinfection in the food industry. This line stands out for its ability to meet hygiene standards, eliminating bacteria and inhibiting the growth of microorganisms. These machines can be integrated into existing production lines, as well as single-stage and multi-stage automatic systems. Key features include lifting systems, oil decanters, and intuitive PLC controls with touch screens. All machines are constructed from AISI 316 stainless steel, offering superior anti-corrosion protection crucial for food applications.
Application within the food industry
These ultrasonic cleaners are designed for various food processing tasks, including cleaning processing equipment, conveyor belts, and moulds to maintain hygiene and prevent cross-contamination.
2. Printing
Maintaining Anilox rollers and sleeves is critical in the printing industry to ensure sharp, high quality print results. Poor cleaning practices, such as using harsh chemicals, can damage the roller’s fine cells, reducing its lifespan and impacting print quality. Ultrasonic cleaning restores these rollers to their optimal condition by reaching deep into the cells to remove all residues. This process improves print clarity and extends the life of the rollers, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
The best industrial ultrasonic cleaning technology for this industry is
The ANILOX series – Created as an ultrasonic cleaner solution for rollers and sleeves. To achieve maximum performance from an anilox roll, it is essential to implement preventive cleaning and maintenance practices. Poor cleaning practices are a significant factor, leading to 80% of rolls being replaced before reaching their expected lifespan. Common issues include the use of aggressive chemicals to remove dried ink, which causes micro-fractures in the cell walls and shortens the anilox roll’s life. Additionally, inadequate maintenance results in a gradual loss of volume, causing deviations in the final tone desired by customers.
This ultrasonic system provides a definitive solution for the cleaning and maintenance of these rollers. Acton Finishing’s exclusive ultrasonic cleaning technology ensures the best possible care and maintenance for anilox rollers of any size.
Application within the printing industry
The ANILOX series ultrasonic cleaners are used to clean Anilox rollers and sleeves, removing dried ink residues that can affect the quality of printed materials. Proper cleaning ensures that the fine cells in the rollers are clear, allowing for precise ink transfer during printing.
3. Moulding
The moulding industry requires clean, residue-free moulds to ensure the highest quality of manufactured parts, whether in plastic, rubber, or metal moulding. Contaminants can impact the final product quality and reduce the lifespan of moulds, making effective cleaning essential.
The best industrial ultrasonic cleaning technologies for this industry are
BR-800 MOLD – Ultrasonic Mold Cleaner – Specifically designed to clean steel moulds used in plastic injection, the BR-800 MOLD requires only one operator, enhancing efficiency. Due to the substantial weight and size of these moulds, a customised dimension for the loading rack was developed. The machine offers maximum power with minimum energy consumption. Its three-stage installation; ultrasound, rinse, and anti-corrosion drying process, is digitally controlled via a touchscreen for optimal ease of use.
BR-600 MOLD – Ultrasonic Mold Cleaner for bottles – Featuring two ultrasonic cleaning tanks equipped with OPS oil decanting technology, enabling simultaneous cleaning of two mould baskets. The system transitions through cleaning, rinsing, and passivation stages to ensure complete cleanliness. The installation includes a specialised loading and unloading area, a drip collection system, and four stages: two ultrasonic cleaners, one rinse, and one anti-corrosion protection process.
Application within the moulding industry
The BR-MOLD series is used to clean moulds employed in plastic and metal moulding processes. These systems efficiently remove residues, lubricants, and contaminants, preventing defects in moulded parts and ensuring the mould’s longevity.
4. Paint removal
Ultrasonic cleaning is a highly efficient method for removing paint and coatings from parts without damaging the underlying material. It’s ideal for paint removal, where precision and material integrity are critical. It offers a non-abrasive, efficient method for stripping paint, ensuring the underlying material remains undamaged. Ultrasonic systems provide fast, cost-effective cleaning with maximum energy efficiency, making them ideal for precision industries.
The best industrial ultrasonic cleaning technologies for this industry are
Multi-Stage Ultrasonic Cleaning Equipment – These systems offer multiple cleaning stages such as ultrasonic cleaning, rinsing, passivation, and drying. Features include automatic basket displacement, energy-efficient ultrasonic emitters, multi-frequency technology for thorough cleaning, and automated processes for operator-free functionality.
PRO Series Ultrasonic Cleaners – Available in capacities from 150 to 8000 litres, the PRO Series includes features like a pneumatic or hydraulic elevator for easy part handling, high-power ultrasonic generators, and the OPS (Oil Push System) for effective oil and dirt removal. The touchscreen controls allow for full-cycle programming, ensuring precise cleaning results.
Manual Series – Industrial Ultrasonic Cleaning Machines – Built with volumes from 60 – 8000 litres, the Manual Series provides high cleaning power with energy efficiency. It includes adjustable frequency, durable emitters, and stainless steel construction for long-term durability. Ideal for smaller operations with touch screen or analogue control options.
Application within the paint removal industry
Ultrasonic cleaning is used to remove paint, coatings, and residues from various parts while preserving the substrate’s integrity.
