German Machine Tools of America’s (GMTA) BvL Niagara MO cleaning system features a two-tank design that comes with a flood spray cleaning system and revolving wheel technology. An optional ultrasound cleaning tank is designed to further ensure a high level of cleanliness.

The company says the system is well suited for small parts in baskets or individual parts on workpiece holders and works well for workpieces with complex geometric shapes. The machine’s compact footprint is 60 × 400 mm.

The system’s cleaning technology includes a holding fixture that revolves or swivels around the horizontal axis. Nozzle frame can be adapted to the workpiece, while the maximum permitted load and dimensions are adjustable. All processing steps are carried out in a chamber with a fully glazed door enabling operators to view the washing process. In addition, bath monitoring can be applied to the washer.

Processing takes place in several steps, including washing spray cleaning, flood cleaning, injection flood cleaning and ultrasound cleaning. Subsequent steps include optional features such as demineralized water and drying with pneumatic pulse, hot air, circulating air or vacuum with infrared support, if needed.

Additional options include drying systems and handling systems. Cascade guiding and floor drip trays are also available.
