Surface treatment applications require a clean substrate that is entirely free of contaminants. Not only does this help to provide a lasting metal finish, it also promotes product uniformity.
Ultrasonics Are Effective For Many Surface Treatments
Proper cleaning and rinsing promote the best results in plating and surface finishing processes such as:
- Electroplating
- Anodizing
- Pickling
- Passivation
- Etching
- Stripping
Ultrasonic cleaning uses the power of high-frequency sound for the complete and efficient removal of contaminants. Ultrasonic cleaning has proven very effective in ensuring that part surfaces are absolutely clean, due in part to the ability of ultrasonics to thoroughly clean the complete wetted surface area, including blind holes and crevices. Cavitation is the key to the effectiveness of ultrasonic cleaning, providing the power to blast dirt from surfaces. It has the added benefit of reaching every wetted surface of the object to be cleaned, including intricate crevices.
Blackstone-NEY Ultrasonics, a world leader in providing cleaning and waste minimization technologies, will introduce a host of advanced cleaning solutions at the MD&M West 2022 in Anaheim, California April 12 – 14. 2002. Visitors to Blackstone-NEY Ultrasonics Booth #1459 will be introduced to several new products, technologies, and services. Among the new technologies exhibited at the show will be:
Aquarius: Combining ultrasonic cleaning with rinsing, drying and other processing steps in a unitized cleaning console helps assure process integrity. The addition of an automated, robotic transfer, environmental enclosure, and DI water systems increases cleanliness levels and provides process consistency while significantly reducing the labor required for parts cleaning.
Aquarius Series Multi-Tank Ultrasonic Cleaning Systems are pre-engineered to meet a wide range of parts cleaning needs at an attractive price. This platform can also be featured to handle your nitric or citric acid passivation requirements.
HT- IPA: A perfected ultrasonic cleaning tank for use with Class 1, Div. 1 Group D, T4 solvents. The HT-IPA is designed for small parts cleaning applications in which a flammable solvent is required. The HT IPA is currently available in two sizes that are independently certified by ETL (Electronics Testing Laboratories).
Ransohoff will introduce a host of advanced cleaning solutions at the Shot Show Showcase in Las Vegas, NV on January 17 – 18, 2022. Visitors to the Ransohoff booth #52213 will see popular Drum Cleaning System with new features, along with many more cleaning solutions.
High Volume Continuous Cleaning: Cup and Cases, Primer Caps and Anvils
Utilizing both spray and immersion technology, our Ransohoff drum washers are fast, highly effective continuous cleaning solutions for cup and cases as well as primer caps and anvils, whether for pre-annealing, brightening and/or final cleaning.
Ransohoff Lean Jet Rotary Basket Immersion Cleaning
Our Lean Jet Rotary Basket systems clean using our patented parts washing and rinsing process of agitation, spray impingement, rotation, hydraulic purging through immersion, and heated blow-off drying. This machine is ideal for small, precision parts such as primer caps and anvils.
Ultrasonic Cleaning: Firearm Components
Blackstone-NEY Ultrasonics is a leading provider of precision ultrasonic cleaning equipment for firearm components such as barrels, triggers, magazines, and scopes. Our ultrasonic cleaning technology is also ideal for suppressors and silencers, considering they can be cleaned without disassembly, and at optimum frequencies to minimize erosion.
Megan Lovitt has joined CTG as the Director of Human Resources effective November 2021. Megan will serve as a member of the executive management team, overseeing all aspects of human resources including management, compensation, employee benefits, and training.
“Megan brings many years of Human Resources experience to CTG and we are excited to welcome her. She will be a strong contributor to the executive team" said our CEO, Barney Bosse.
Cleaning methods are as varied as the types of surfaces, substrates, and particles that exist. Not only is it important to consider all of these factors, it is necessary to think about how particles not only adhere to substrates, but also interact with and attach to each other. This is why there is no one-size-fits-all type of cleaning approach that works for every application.
The Mechanics of Cleaning
The mechanics of cleaning involve the removal of either soluble or insoluble contaminants, or a combination of both. Ultrasonic cleaning is the preferred method for the removal of soluble contaminants and particles that are less than approximately 6mm in size.
In today’s manufacturing world, a wide range of businesses are increasing efficiency and improving production with robotic parts washing and other customized automated washing solutions. Automated washing systems offer the added benefit of improving product quality and consistency, while freeing valuable human labor resources for other tasks.
While highly beneficial, the introduction of robotics and automation may initially seem overwhelming to manufacturers who lack experience with this technology. Cleaning Technologies Group (CTG) has significant experience and expertise in the development of parts washing systems which include integrated robotic handling and customized automation. We have developed a new first-step guide designed to introduce businesses to the benefits of implementing automated and robotic parts washing systems. Topics include:
- A New Dimension of Capability and Cost Savings
- Programmable Controls for Robotic Parts Handling and Parts Cleaning
- Robot Tended Cells and Modular Design Systems
- Robotic Parts Cleaning In Action
Cleaning Technologies Group will introduce a host of advanced cleaning solutions at Eastec 2021 in West Springfield, Massachusetts October 19 - 21, 2021. Exhibiting in Booth #3127, CTG will showcase a variety of new products, technologies, and services.
EASTEC 2021
EASTEC 2021, the largest Northeast manufacturing trade show, promotes the historical importance of manufacturing while showcasing its future in leading-edge industries such as aerospace, medical devices, automotive, industrial equipment and defense.
New technologies that CTG will be exhibiting at the show include:
JAMESTOWN, NY – The CTG family of companies is proud to recognize three Blackstone-NEY Ultrasonics employees who stepped into a perilous situation to help save a life.
Merle Delcamp, Dean Bennett, and Patti Carlson, employees of Blackstone-NEY Ultrasonics, each played an important role in the rescue of a local man who was in extreme danger.
When Merle Delcamp and Dean Bennett arrived for work at 6:30 am on Monday, July 19th, they noticed area resident, Mike Campbell, attempting to rescue a man in distress. The victim was an older man who appeared to have fallen into the Chadakoin River and was clinging to a tree.
The river’s rushing current was making the situation especially dangerous, as the three men worked to save the weakened man from the water. A steep cement bank was also impeding the progress of the rescue, making it too difficult for the men to pull the victim to safety.
