APPLICATIONS

The cleaning of heavily contaminated fuel and lubricating oil filters, cylinder heads and air coolers is often difficult. The use of only a cleaning agent is generally unsatisfactory, as only a part of the residues will be removed. In most cases carbon residues and other solid materials will be left behind. In these cases the use of ultrasonic sound waves in combination with a special cleaning agent gives good results. The special detergents in the cleaning agent keep the contamination dispersed in the liquid and the complexing agents will partly dissolve them. ULTRASONIc cLEANER has been specially developed for use in ultrasonic baths for the cleaning of all materials except zinc, galvanized parts and / or magnesium alloys. We advice to test light-metal alloys (aluminum, magnesium etc.) i.e. pistons, turbo-blower parts etc. in advance for 5 - 10 minutes.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

IN ULTRASONIC CLEANING BATH

Degrease the components to be cleaned, if necessary, with GP DEGREASER or QUIcK SPLIT cLEANER or TANKcOATING HV FAST, depending on the degree of contamination. ULTRASONIc cLEANER should be used in a 5 - 25% solution in water at a temperature of 50°C - 70°C. Dismantle the equipment to be cleaned (i.e.: remove top and bottom rings from the filtercandles), put the components in the bath, taking care that the elements are completely immersed and kept separate. We recommend a cleaning time of 5 - 30 minutes, but longer if necessary. Take the elements out of the bath and spray with a powerful water-jet. After drying TANKOTE or ELEcTRO cLEAN can be used to preserve the elements. The cleaning solution has to be renewed and the bath cleaned regularly, because in a contaminated bath the parts can not be cleaned effectively.

IN CLEANING MACHINES

ULTRASONIc cLEANER is, depending on the nature and degree of contamination, applied in a solution of about 4% in cleaning machines. The contaminated object must be placed in the machine and cleaned for 30 - 60 minutes at a temperature of 80°C - 90°C. Finally rinse with water.

ULTRASONIC TECHNOLOGY

Ultrasonic technology has been used for many years in the cleaning industry. Unimarine pioneered the use of ultrasonic technology to clean heavily contaminated equipment, such as heavy fuel oil-filters and heat exchangers. This required developing special chemicals and processes for each application. With many years of experience Unimarine has the expertise to provide plant operators with simple, effective and fast cleaning systems. Depots worldwide are equipped with the ultrasonic cleaning systems providing continual research and development in the field of ultrasonic and chemical technology.

HOw DOES ULTRASONIC wORK? The Ultrasonic system employs a unique combination of ultrasonic and cleaning liquids developed by Unimarine. The soiled components are submerged in a bath. “Transducers” produce high frequency sound waves, which cause very small bubbles or “vacuum spaces”. When these “spaces” implode, the liquid impacts on the surface of all objects being cleaned with very high power, even in extremely inaccessible areas. This is the big difference between ultrasonic and other cleaning methods, with the additional advantage of cost-effective results.

THE EQUIPMENT

The latest Technology has been incorporated in our equipment to provide reliability, flexibility and ease of operation. Backed by worldwide service and guarantees.

THE ULTRASONIC SYSTEM


SYSTEM SELECTION:

First select the tank size based on the largest piece of equipment likely to be cleaned.Select number of transducers required for your tank size.Select the generators required for your tank size. E.g. tank capacity 1 m3 = VG2 (generator) and 4 VT10 (transducers).Power requirements vary from system to system depending on the type of components and contamination to be removed.

Vecom Maraine engineers will give detailed advice on your individual needs.
