Pre-Cleaning & Electrolytic Systems

Our Pre-Clean and Rinse Systems are designed to remove drawing lubricant residuals from the wires prior to subsequent processing. The wires maintain a level path though the hot wash section process tray that contains either water or a caustic cleaning solution. The system can incorporate an optional electrolytic boost for addition cleaning power. Following the wash section is a two or three stages water rinse and a high efficiency air wipe.

Level and Temperature Control

The tank and process trays are fabricated of FRP (fiber reinforced plastic) composite material using premium quality resin and corrosion resistant glass fibers. Pultruded FRP sections are incorporated into the tank walls for additional strength and to provide precise level surfaces for the internal trays and top flanges. A cover is included with the system to minimize heat losses.

A low maintenance vertical pump with high efficiency motor recirculates the fluid between the reservoir tank and process tray. Primary cleaning is done by the turbulent heated solution. The system trays each contain two ceramic weir bars that support the wires and maintain a flooded level in the tray. Special ceramic wiping bars are mounted at the exit of each stage to mechanically remove fluid drops.

Electrolytic Boost
Cleaning can be augmented by a special electrolytic boost system. The high amperage system has corrosion resistant current distribution grids (anode/cathode) mounted at the entry and exit to the process tray. Current is supplied by a low voltage power rectifier
with voltage and amperage control and safety systems.
