Multi-stage aqueous cleaning lines are widely used in the medical implant manufacturing process to clean oils and compounds from implants. Heavily contaminated parts pose a significant challenge for these cleaning lines, as even with filtration and surface skimming, the level of contaminants soon affects the cleaning results. Moreover, for complex parts with blind threaded holes, there is always the danger of trapped contamination, which can be overcome with fixture design. Kemet now offer modular spray tanks to quickly remove heavy contamination from any surface, including hard-to-reach cavities and holes.
In the past, the only spray option has been a separate spray washer, which means the parts have to be manually loaded from one style of basket to another and then manually transferred from the spray wash to the ultrasonic line. Kemets' new modular spray systems offer a seamless transition from the spray tank to the ultrasonic line. The spray tank becomes part of an automated line, taking the same basket all the way through the process with no additional manual handling needed at any point.
One of the significant benefits of having a spray tank as part of the line is that heavy contaminants can be removed by spraying, and these contaminants are collected and kept separate from the ultrasonic tanks. This separation of contaminants from the ultrasonic tanks means the longevity of filters and detergents can be extended, reducing the day-to-day cost of running the line. Furthermore, Kemet provides non-foaming detergents specifically designed for spray washing, meaning they can supply a full ultrasonic and spray wash turnkey solution for any challenge.
Kemets' modular spray tanks offer an efficient and cost-effective solution for in-process cleaning requirements. By seamlessly integrating spray tanks with ultrasonic lines, it is now possible to quickly remove heavy contamination from any surface, including complex parts with blind threaded holes. Additionally, Kemet’s non-foaming detergents for spray washing make them the ideal choice for a full ultrasonic and spray wash turnkey solution. Therefore, manufacturers looking to improve the efficiency and repeatability of their in-process cleaning requirements should consider Kemets' modular spray tanks.
