Blackstone-NEY Ultrasonics is pleased to announce its newly redesigned Aquarius tank to tank precision ultrasonic cleaning system. Our patented technology allows us to incorporate seven (7) independent frequencies, 40-80-120-140-170-220-270, in a single tank which makes for a very compact design. Complete with a fully automated robotic transfer this high production cleaning
Ultrasonic cleaning is one step in a complete cleaning process. Combining ultrasonic cleaning with rinsing, drying and other processing steps in a unitized cleaning console helps assure process integrity. The addition of an automated, robotic transfer system provides process consistency and significantly reduces the labor required for parts cleaning. Aquarius™ Series
November’s Production Machining Magazine featured, “Meeting Medical Manufacturing’s Tough Demands,” an article written by John Fuchs, author of CTG’s, John’s Corner Technical Blog. An excerpt from the piece on ultrasonic cleaning and the medical manufacturing industry follows:“Manufacturers in the high-visibility medical manufacturing industry are under growing scrutiny and
In order to gain the most from your parts cleaning equipment investment, choosing the right system for your new product line is extremely important.
A few years ago I wrote a post about the possible perils of automated valves. The thrust of the post was that many automated valves rely on significant line pressure to hold the valve tightly closed. In applications where there is only gravity pressure, as in drain lines for example, valves that are perfectly effective under high … Continued
What happens when parts exit the cleaning process dirty? First of all, PANIC, especially in the case of critical cleaning for optics, semiconductor, disc drive and other industries where particles that can’t even be seen with a microscope render product worthless and unrecoverable! Then there is the inevitable quest for, “Why this is happening?” Although this scenario is … Continued
The applications for wire seem limitless. Wire is used for electrical conductors as well as in structural applications including suspension bridges and other architectural creations. There are about 1 ½ miles of wire in a typical car today and often over 150 miles in a jetliner. A cruise ship? Somewhere around 3,000 miles! Wire diameters … Continued
At first glance, plumbing a filter into a system doesn’t sound like a big deal. In fact, it really isn’t, but there are right ways and wrong ways to do it. Here are a few ideas. First, liquids should always be PUSHED, not PULLED through a filter. Most pumps used in industrial and precision cleaning … Continued
The cost of acquiring and disposing of cleaning chemistry is usually a major contributor to the overall cost of an industrial or precision cleaning process. Removing contaminants from cleaning solutions can potentially extend their useful life and reduce overall cleaning costs. Traditional filters including those of the bag and cartridge variety are commonly used to remove solid (particulate) contaminants … Continued
In designing the new CTG website, one key feature that was at the top of our “Must-Have” list was a venue for collaborating with our customers. Effective communication between our customers and the CTG engineers during the design and build of our equipment is critical. The CTG customer web portal provides our customers with a single resource for sharing all project related
