Ultrasonic Cleaners for Reed Cleaning

Cleans reeds effectively by means of ultrasound at appropriate temperature settings. Number of passes with the ultrasonic oscillator can be easily adjusted for enhanced cleaning efficiency. Pump circulation of water between the heating unit and washing basin makes for efficient use of heat energy. As is well known in the art, the reed 16 is a comb-like device which spaces the warp yarn 20 in the desired order and also places each succeeding filling thread against that already woven. The reed usually consists of a top and bottom rib 22 of metal into which flat metal blades or wires 24 are set. The space between two adjacent wires is called a dent and the count or fineness of the reed is calculated by the number of dents per inch. The warp 20 is drawn through the dents and the sizing and/or finish in the yarn tends to accumulate in the dents. This accumulation is especially bad in the area below the weft tunnel 26 in the reed. When it is desired to clean the size, finish and/or lint from the dents in the reed, the ultra-sonic reed cleaner is best suitable to clean .The size and number of ultra-sonic components on the ultra-sonic cleaner depends primarily on the width & length of the reed to be cleaned.
