Ultrasonic intensive treatment of wire

GEO-Reinigungstechnik has specia- lised in the design, manufacture and sale of continuous ultrasonic cleaning equipment for wire, cable and strip for over 15 years. Among other available methods for the surface treatment of wire- or band-shaped endless profiles, ultrasonic cleaning is recognised as a highly efficient cleaning method yielding excellent surface quality even at high processing speeds. GEO-Reinigungstechnik’s new ultra- sonic tube chamber URS 1000 is especially optimised for continuous industrial profile cleaning. Inside the tube, the cleaning fluid is exposed to a high-intensive ultrasonic field creating cavitation, or tiny vacuum bubbles which implode in the fluid. The concentration across the entire tube cross-section and the distinctive focus zone inside the tube causes an

lasting due to the 3.6mm thick stainless steel tube material AISI 316 Ti. Ultrasonic wire cleaning modules are generally incorporated in a com- plete wire cleaning station including cleaning solution management, rinsing, and drying if required.

intensive sonication which effectively removes soap, grease, oil, emulsions or crack residues inline. The space-saving narrow design and the inner diameter of the tube make the unit suitable for multiple applications. Hence the ultrasound modules are used in GEO’s custom-made cleaning and pickling equipment. Depending on requirements the modules can be arranged in row or parallel to increase ultrasonic exposure and, therefore, throughput. The ultrasonic unit is highly efficient, low-maintenance and long Rope grease specialist The high technology enterprise, IRIS Technology (Yangzhou) Co Ltd was founded in 2001. The company produces the IRIS brand of wire rope grease and anti- rust oil for metal products. To suit different purposes and operating conditions, IRIS’s other products include Koepe oil for wire rope, corrosion preventive for ACSR and OPGW, and transparent grease for galvanised steel wire rope.
