Improved precision cleaning from ultrasonic tank range

The Kerry branded ultrasonic KS cleaning tanks

SPECIALIST finishing equipment manufacturer Guyson International has recently upgraded its entire range of Kerry branded ultrasonic KS cleaning tanks. All models have been improved with an extended feature set and vastly upgraded operational performance that delivers superior cleaning results in faster start up times.

This uprated range of high quality ultrasonic cleaning tanks takes advantage of Guyson’s ongoing investment in its in-house engineering capability with new state of the art 3D CAD and Product Data Management (PDM) systems and the complete product range has been fully re-engineered and redrawn incorporating all the latest design best practice.

There are six standard tank sizes in the range with the smallest tank, being the KS300, having a tank capacity of 17.5 litres and extending all the way up to the KS4000 which has a very substantial 247.5 litre capacity. Larger sizes are available to special order. All are robustly constructed using AISI 316L polished stainless steel tanks for durability, whilst Kerry Pulsatron ultrasonic generators ensure powerful parts cleaning and long equipment life.

The newly designed tank range has a varied feature set which aims to deliver very real operational benefits for purchasers with features such as substantially increased number of heater pads to speedily raise the fluid temperature to operational levels, and clearly marked fluid max and min levels on the internal tank wall to enable easy filling guidelines. Optional low water level sensor housing and wiring is included in the tank build so retrospective take up of that function can be easily undertaken for the customer without them having to incur excessive costs and rework to the system.

Service friendly features include a removable rear panel to allow service access to rear tank heater mats and now incorporated into the new overall design the generator and processor boards and all major controlling electronics are housed in a lockable cabinet mounted to the side of the tank which allows for much easier access for tuning and servicing. This also removes them from any proximity to the floor where they may have been vulnerable to damp and water ingress.

Guyson’s Kerry KS systems have been designed to achieve optimum cleaning results using aqueous solutions. Ultrasonic transducers bonded to the tank base provide high performance and reliability together with uniform distribution of the ultrasonic energy. The frequency is factory tuned to the individual tank/transducer combination and then optimised under normal usage conditions with frequency sweep and fully automatic tuning.
