  Ultrasonic Cleaning Systems Jet Washing Systems
Cleaning Surface. Ultrasonics cleans all surfaces which the solution touches, offering a universal clean to any item, irrespective of its surface geometry.

 

Jet washing only cleans the surface under the jet so internal chambers, and inaccessible surfaces, or surfaces with uneven geometry, are impossible to clean to a very high standard with this method.

 

Water Consumption Ultrasonics uses a fixed amount of water in the cleaning bath which can be recycled and filtered to last a considerable period. Jet washing uses large volumes of water which can become waste
Chances of Damage The forces created by ultrasonics suck dirt away from the item so do not move it around with the consequent potential for damage. High pressures used by jet wash systems can damage delicate and light objects which move about when hit by high-pressure jets.
Cleaning Levels Ultrasonics can achieve extremely high levels of cleanliness since they function at the micron level. The microscopic bubbles created in the liquid medium grow to a maximum size proportional to the ultrasonic frequency Jet blast cleaning is the process of using a high-pressure water pump to generate a flow of pressurised solution which is passed through a small diameter orifice to form a coherent stream of pressurised fluid. This jet of solution is then directly applied to any objects to be cleaned
Uniformity Cleaning Ultrasonics removes dirt from the surface into the solution, rather than just blasting from the surface.  Jet wash process is uncertain, and some residue is merely moved from one part of the surface onto another.
Flexibility in Cleaning Ultrasonic cleaning is more flexible and adaptable being able to use different solutions to remove a wide variety of contaminants ranging from oils to scale and rust. By contrast jet washing is almost invariably used to remove oils, loose particulate, inks and paints. It is not generally successful in removing scales and rusts.

ULTRASONIC CLEANING

A combination of ultrasound waves and a cleaning agent is used to thoroughly wash the roller. The anilox rotates in the heated chemical agent solution (e.g. caustic soda). Ultrasound waves activate a cavitation process, forming gas bubbles whose implosion on contact with the anilox surface releases pressure and temperature that help dissolve and destroy contamination in anilox cells. The process takes approx. 20-30 minutes or more depending upon the ink contamination on the roller. The cavitation bubbles formed in the cleaning solution during operation of an Ultrasonic Cleaning machines acts on Anilox Rollers like a gentle scrub thereby removing the ink from the complex cells of the rollers. Ultrasonic cleaning machines are one of the most effective ways of cleaning Anilox rollers.

ULTRASONIC ADVANTAGES

Ultrasonic anilox roll cleaning machines are fully automated for anilox roll and sleeves maintenance. Individually designed to deep clean anilox rolls, sleeves or gravure cylinders of all sizes, they reduce set-up times, minimize press downtime, increase the lifetime of the rolls and optimize printing quality. Ultrasonic anilox roll and sleeve cleaners are a perfect solution for daily washing and maintenance of the rolls. Short and gentle cleaning process leaves the rolls perfectly clean and ready for use in 30 minutes without causing any wear and tear to the roll. Ceramic anilox rolls cannot be properly cleaned with conventional mechanical methods. The ceramic cell cavities are far smaller than even the finest brush bristles. Although blast systems can clean coarse anilox rolls, only ultrasonic cleaners can thoroughly and safely clean the fine count anilox rolls being used today. Ultrasonic Anilox Roller cleaning machines have been designed to work with all types of ink. The water consumption is very low and the appropriate cleaning chemical works in conjunction with the machine to remove ink and other contaminants from the anilox roller. Ultrasonic Cleaning machine is one of the latest and advanced technology to safely remove the contaminants from rollers without causing any damage and are economical as well. The cleaning process releases the energy of millions of bubbles that implode by quickly eliminating all types of waste and consuming few energy resources.

What is Jet Washing ?

Jet blast cleaning is the process of using a high-pressure water pump to generate a flow of pressurised solution (up to 40,000psi) which is passed through a small diameter orifice to form a coherent stream of pressurised fluid. This jet of solution is then directly applied to any objects to be cleaned. The solution is usually water based, often containing a chemical to assist in removing the contaminant, and may also be heated to further assist the cleaning process.

What is Ultrasonic Cleaning ?

Ultrasonic Cleaning uses the varying pressures created by high frequency sound (greater than 20Khz) as it passes through solution to create and then implode tiny vacuum bubbles (1-200 microns). The force exerted by these implosions (up to 20,000 psi) are intense over a small area, removing particulate adhering to any item submerged in the solution.
