Fitted with a fully enclosed, overhead hoisting frame unit, to allow for a fully automatic lowering/rising of work basket into the process solution. There will be one work basket provided as part of the sale.
The machine is fitted complete with 2 x Ultrasonic Power Packs, a Localised Exhaust Valve (LEV) and with the ability to control all process temperatures via the LCD temperature units.
This enclosed vapour degreasing machine was purchased brand new and has only been used for our clients precision degreasing requirements. It has only ever worked single shift and never sub contracted to process other work than their own
It will be for interested parties to ascertain/judge as to whether their choice of chemistry to suit their needs, would be suitable for this machine and the parts cleaning machine is not being sold as one that conforms under any SED (Solvent Emission Directive).
The machine has been emptied of process solutions.
Our client will disconnect, position to an exit door. Buyer to lift, load, rig.
Location – Birmingham

Want To Know More About Vapour Degreasing?
Solvent cleaning in a vapour degreaser before the invention of ultrasonics relied almost exclusively on the solvency power of the cleaning agents. There of course was the rinsing power of the vapour condensing on the part and the mechanical rinsing of the spray wand, but for the most part, these steps have only limited effectiveness compared to what can be achieved with ultrasonics.
Ultrasonic cleaning in a vapour degreaser should strongly be considered if you have any of these following conditions or concerns:
- Contaminants containing inorganic contaminants such as salts, metal fines, buffing compounds or the inorganic components of a flux resin
- Contaminants that are baked on or cured or have difficulty being solubalised by your cleaning agent, and
- Parts that have complex geometries, blind holes or crevices.
By introducing ultrasonics into the vapour degreasing process the capability of the system to clean in the previously mentioned contexts is dramatically improved. At a micro level, intense activity on the surface of the parts is possible to physically displace and dislodge hard to remove insoluble contaminants as well as reach blind holes, threads and cavities that conventional solvent vapour degreaser cleaning would have difficulty reaching and cleaning. In addition, in many instances the rate at which organic contaminants are cleaned is accelerated by the ultrasonic process.
