CTG will be exhibiting a variety of innovative cleaning technologies at the upcoming IMTS conference to be held in Chicago, Illinois. The International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS), happening at McCormick Place, September 10 – 15th, is the premier manufacturing technology show in North America, bringing together buyers and sellers from 117 countries.

The Rotosonic Combination Spray and Ultrasonic Cleaning System will thoroughly clean heavily soiled parts in a one system for maximum cleaning efficiency.

Among the systems displayed in the CTG booth will be our new Rotosonic™ Combination Spray and Ultrasonic Cleaning System. This automated ultrasonic cleaning system provides maximum cleaning efficiency through the use of high-pressure spray, part rotation, and ultrasonic energy. The Rotosonic will thoroughly clean heavily soiled parts in a one system, eliminating the need to purchase a spray cabinet and an ultrasonic machine separately. The Rotosonic provides the ultimate in flexibility in that it can either perform a single process or both processes, depending on your needs. The machine features a compact design, and eliminates the required labor and safety risks associated with moving parts from washer to washer.

Typical Applications:

Among the many innovative cleaning technologies CTG will be exhibiting at the upcoming IMTS conference will be our LeanJet® RB-2 Automated Immersion Cleaning System and our LeanJet® Cell-Jet.

LeanJet RB-2 AutomatedCell-JetOur LeanJet  RB-2 Automated immersion cleaning system incorporates two (2) industrial standard size baskets of parts per cycle, cleaning up to twenty (20) baskets per hour. This system cleans parts by using a washing and rinsing process of agitation, spray impingement, hydraulic purging through immersion and rotation, ultrasonics, and heated blow-off drying. Engineered specifically to process a broad range of challenging parts, the "triple action" batch cleaning process is especially effective for cleaning parts with internal bores and passages and complex geometries. The LeanJet RB-2 is  capable of meeting the most critical cleaning requirements. Customer specific basket designs are available to accommodate larger parts.

Aquarius™ Series Multi-tank Ultrasonic Cleaning SystemsCTG will be exhibiting many innovative cleaning technologies at the upcoming IMTS conference to be held in Chicago, Illinois. Among the systems displayed will be our Aquarius™ Series Multi-Tank Ultrasonic Cleaning Systems. This efficient high performance system combines ultrasonic cleaning with rinsing, drying, and other processing steps into a consolidated cleaning system to promote process integrity.

This combination system features automated robotic transfer, environmental enclosure, and DI water system to increase cleanliness levels. This design also provides process consistency while significantly reducing the labor required for parts cleaning.

The cost-effective Aquarius Series Multi-tank Ultrasonic Cleaning Systems are pre-engineered to meet a variety of parts cleaning needs.  This platform can also be employed to handle any nitric or citric acid passivation requirements.

Typical Applications:

Ultrasonic Parts Cleaners – More Power Doesn’t Always Mean It’s BetterWhen comparing parts cleaning equipment, you will most likely be looking at a number of factors including the amount of power offered by each system. In the case of ultrasonic cleaning equipment, more power does not necessarily mean the parts cleaner will provide more for your money.  

In some cases, high-powered ultrasonic cleaning systems are needed to do a particular job, but more commonly an assumption is made that more energy is better when it actually is not. In order to understand why more power in an ultrasonic parts cleaning is not always advantageous, you must consider the design, as it relates to ultrasonic transducers and cleaning.

The ultrasonic devices used in an ultrasonic parts cleaner incorporate a number of individual vibrators attached to a plate or diaphragm. A liquid media is contained on the other side of the plate. When the vibrators activate the plate, the vibration produces sound waves in that liquid media. The vibrators depend on resonance at a certain frequency to deliver the required amplitude for vibration to create the cavitation and implosion in the liquid that does the cleaning. The individual vibrators are able to convert about 40 watts of electrical energy into mechanical energy as vibration.

The International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) is the premier manufacturing technology show in North America. IMTS 2018 is scheduled to take place September 10 – 15, 2018 in Chicago, Illinois. IMTS 2016 set the show’s record for the highest number of exhibiting companies (2,407) and was the third largest in number of registrations (115,612) and in net square feet of exhibit space (1,370,256) at the McCormick Place complex. IMTS is held every even-numbered year in Chicago and brings together buyers and sellers from 117 countries.

As a parts cleaning solutions supplier to a wide range of manufacturing industries, CTG is excited to be participating in this year’s event. Attendees who visit the Cleaning Technologies Group in Booth #121513 will learn about our products, technologies, and services. Several new CTG advanced cleaning solutions will be introduced at the show. Among the new technologies exhibited will be:

GMC Stainless-Steel Ultrasonic Cleaning System - The Stainless-Steel GMC is an optional package to achieve chemical compatibility with aggressive caustic and acidic agents.

Rotosonic Combination Cleaning System - The new Rotosonic (Patent Pending) will clean heavily soiled parts in a single machine rather than having to purchase a spray cabinet and an ultrasonic machine separately.

New Blackstone-Ney Ultrasonics Cleaning Solutions to be Presented at Semicon West 2018

Semicon West 2018 will be taking place at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA, July 10-12, 2018. Semicon West is one of the leading events for the semiconductor industry. Thought leaders, businesses, and buyers who play a role in the extended electronics supply chain will come together to network and share information about new technologies and innovations. An estimated 20 to 50 thousand visitors are expected to attend this year’s event.

Parts Washing EquipmentWhether we are running appliances, charging phones or turning on lights, accessing electricity is a convenience we take for granted. As long as our devices do what they are expected to do, we do not give electricity a second thought beyond plugging into the outlet. It is, however, important to consider what happens behind the wall in terms of electricity. There can be significant variations in the connections, which may be of considerable importance when powering equipment such as parts washers.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Blackstone-NEY Ultrasonics Introduces the Stainless-Steel GMC Series Ultrasonic Cleaning System.

May 2018 – Jamestown, NY

 

Blackstone-NEY Ultrasonics, a division of Cleaning Technologies Group, LLC, is proud to introduce an innovation in cellular aqueous parts cleaning, offering a Stainless-Steel GMC Ultrasonic Cleaning System. The Stainless-Steel GMC is an optional package to achieve chemical compatibility with aggressive caustic and acidic agents. The GMC series comes in two sizes the GMC1818 and the GMC 3523.  The larger can accommodate parts with one dimension up to 35 inches and weighing up to 125 pounds. Both units are completely self-contained, are supported on casters and operate from commonly available power supplies making them easy to move where needed for either in-place or utility cleaning. Both systems include a pump and dual stainless cartridge filtration, a surface sparger, automated controls for heat, pump and ultrasonics, a lid and one standard basket. A drip pan (the open hinged lid in the case of the GMC 1818 or attached to the side of the tank in the case of the GMC 3523) allows draining one basket of parts while cleaning another.
