ULTRASONIC TRANSDUCER REMOVES POLISHING COMPOUNDS

Efficient RT transducer cleans brass bathroom fittings in just 20 minutes

Polishing compounds are removed from brass bathroom fittings prior to plating Modern Metal Finishes (MMF), a leading specialist in gold plating, enlisted the help of Kerry Ultrasonics in order to secure a major contract with one of the world’s most respected manufacturers of advanced plumbing products.

MMF were supplied with a Pulsatron RT 2000-25 transducer to facilitate removal of polishing compounds from brass bathroom fittings, prior to them undergoing plating. Installed as part of an existing automatic process, the transducer led to an improvement in both cleaning quality and productivity.

Components are first pre-soaked in an alkaline solution to remove any grease or oil, before entering the ultrasonic bath which contains a mixture of detergents and rinse agents. Immersion in an electro cleaner then precedes the plating stage, and the fittings are air-knifed dry.

Although throughput varies, MMF’s manual ultrasonic bath would have been unable to cope with the volume of components requiring cleaning. The order was secured through an on-site demonstration of the RT’s efficiency: the 2000W, 25kHz probe takes just twenty minutes to leave fittings free from all contaminants.
