Blackstone-NEY Ultrasonics Introduces the New Agi-Sonic AS-6000 Ultrasonic Parts Cleaning Systems
The AS-6000 has payload capacity up to 500 lbs and tank volumes of up to 675gallons.
Blackstone-NEY Ultrasonics (Jamestown, N.Y.), a Cleaning Technologies Group company, has introduced the new Agi-Sonic AS-6000 ultrasonic parts cleaning systems. The Agi-Sonic system platform has had a long and successful history in heavy duty cleaning applications. 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.
In parallel, the systems are employed in day-to-day manufacturing applications such as component degreasing, swarf removal and passivation in nearly every industry.
In recent years, the company says customers have asked 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 675gallons, the AS-6000 answers the call. These larger systems have already been deployed in new applications such a mold cleaning and degreasing of exhaust systems for heavy duty trucks.
In addition to part agitation and best-in-class 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 guarantees 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.
