Aqueous degreasers are greener
alternatives
A pair of highly versatile aqueous degreasers provide a greener alternative for metal finishers degreasing with chlorinated solvents such as trichloroethylene.
An aqueous degreaser of high versatility has been introduced by Kerry Ultrasonics for metal finishers seeking an alternative to degreasing with chlorinated solvents such as trichloroethylene The Kerry Multimatic IW25V and larger IW50V are batch-type single chamber aqueous degreasers

Ultrasonic cleaners are solvent savers
Kerry Ultrasonics has developed an automatic monitoring system which allows users of its cleaning machines to check the rate at which costly solvents are used during processing.
Ultrasonic cleaning just the job for IMI Norgren
An ultrasonic cleaning system from Kerry Ultrasonics is helping one of the world's leading manufacturers of pneumatic valves to maximise productivity.
Their closed-loop cleaning processes run within a vacuum-tight treatment chamber fed from cleaning and rinsing reservoirs.
The modular design of these machines allows the user, at the time of purchase, to select only those features which will be required.
Process options include oil separation, ultrasonics, basket rotation, micro filtration and automatic loading/unloading.
The machine's small footprint suits most metal degreasing applications and is ideally suited to cell manufacturing environments.
For maximum flexibility, each stage of the cleaning process is independently programmable.
Users can choose immersion or spray wash with hot detergent, and baskets may be stationary, rotated or oscillated to suit component geometry.
Optional injection flooding cleans very greasy parts where swarf is present; ultrasonics may be selected for swarf removal from sensitive components.
Rinsing is carried out through either immersion or spray methods and can be followed by an optional hot air pre-dry.
After a final vacuum dry to remove any moisture remaining in blind holes, dry air is returned to the treatment chamber.
Taking a maximum load of 50kg in a 530 x 340 x 200mm carrier or 80kg in a 620 x 400 x 410mm equivalent, the cleaning systems can process up to six batches per hour.
They are also compatible with Euro tote bins.
