Blackstone-NEY Ultrasonics Torrent M Series
Blackstone-NEY Ultrasonics (a division of the Cleaning Technology Group) offers the Torrent M Series cleaning system — an automated ultrasonic aqueous cleaning system designed for high-precision medical and pharmaceutical cleaning applications.
The Torrent is a single-chamber, front-loading rotary, basket-style machine that features 640 W of Blackstone-NEY single or multifrequency ultrasonics for vacuum and non-vacuum immersion wash or rinse, basket rotation with user-selected speed, direction and short cyclic modes, compressed air blow off, spray rinsing and hot air dry or vacuum dry with hot air assist.
Torrent M Series machines are self-contained, skid-mounted machines designed for both single-pass or multiple-pass chemistries, utilizing onboard reservoirs while reducing water consumption through a range of user-defined machine operation parameters.
This in-process or final clean ultrasonic cleaning system is said to meet FDA 21 CFR Part 11 audit trail regulations and GAMP 5 recommendations while simplifying machine IQ and OQ validation in demanding medical and pharmaceutical applications.
