GEO specialises in the production of ultrasonic cleaning
lines, high pressure cleaning and rinsing jets, steam
cleaning, air wipes and mechanical (brush) cleaning systems
for wire strip, tube, cable, rod and similar longitudinal
configurations.
Today’s high quality demands on the cleaning processes
can be realised with proven GEO components,
complemented by state-of-the-art systems for continuous
bath monitoring, take-up and pay-off units and much more
according to individual requirements.
Whether in high-speed applications, the manufacture of
medical products, the contact-free cleaning of precious
metal and aluminium alloy strips for the production of
precision stamped parts as well as the fully automatic
cleaning of high-grade steel ribbon for the production of
high temperature superconductors, GEO components and
systems are used in a multitude of production and finishing
stages.
GEO’s integrated cleaning systems can be placed in-line
with the production line or placed off-line as a separate
process.
In the field of multi-wire cleaning, GEO’s new multi-strand
ultrasonic plant is based on expertise gained over two
decades of experience. Completely made of stainless steel
for an extremely long service life, particular attention has
been paid to easy and straightforward operation.
Cleaning, rinsing and drying are equipped with special wire
guides for intelligent handling. Coming into contact with
liquids is almost impossible. The energy efficiency of the
system meets the highest standards.
GEO’s popular ‘primary wire wipe’ system is now also
available for multi-wire treatment. Originally designed for
less demanding single wire cleaning applications, the new
concept allows the parallel operation of close together
arranged wires between two strips of absorbing tape
material.
Clean tape surfaces move continuously against the motion
direction of the material. In this way the wire does not come
into contact with contaminated wipers as is the case when
rags or stationary felt pads are used.
GEO’s product range is completed by a wide variety of
spiral brushes with metal and synthetic filaments.
