Blackstoney Valve Fittings

Valves and fittings are typically intricate and can be complex in design. They require precision cleaning to remove debris, oils, and other production materials. If valves and fittings are not thoroughly cleaned, their performance and reliability could be compromised in their intended applications.

Blackstone-NEY Ultrasonics develops commercial precision ultrasonic cleaning equipment that is well-suited for valve and fitting cleaning. Our ultrasonic cleaning technology is highly effective for removing dirt, grease and grime to meet ever-changing manufacturing and cleanliness specifications.

An important advantage of our ultrasonic cleaning systems is that they are designed for quick and easy setup. Our highly effective solutions let you improve your cleaning specifications and free your workforce to perform more productive tasks, providing you with a quick return on your investment. The ultrasonic cleaning process produces cavitation energy within the tank, which attacks the buildup of oils and residue from forging, machining and heat treatment.

The ultrasonic cavitation energy will effectively clean valves and fittings for the highest finish quality. This means effective cleaning as well as savings on time, labor and material costs.

Blackstone-NEY Ultrasonic systems are engineered for long life, durability, and excellent performance, while also being aqueous-based and environmentally safe.

LeanDrum CF

Ransohoff, a division of Cleaning Technologies Group LLC, has introduced its LeanDrum CF Washer. This new platform provides an energy efficient, reliable solution for your high-volume cleaning needs, along with an innovated design for cold forming applications.

The LeanDrum CF features a very robust, lower cost option utilizing stainless steel tanks, drum and housing, premium electrical components, full immersion cleaning system and forced air dryer technology to produce consistently high quality cleaning results over an extended machine life. With this new design, you may recognize less chemical utilization and have better oil control resulting in a longer bath life. In this new design, you will have the ability to apply more aggressive chemicals without foaming. The new LeanDrum CF is designed for easy access that will allow easy drum removal for maintenance.

The Ransohoff LeanJet RB-8 Immersion Cleaning System was recently featured online and in the print edition of Production Machining. Ransohoff’s rotary basket washer is touted as a productivity-enhancing solution to a cleaning process bottle-neck.

The application focus in the story was developed for Allfast Fastening Systems, part of California-based TriMas Aerospace. The company, which produces components and installation tooling for the aerospace industry, was in need of an efficient parts cleaning solution to replace a highly cumbersome and labor-intensive cleaning process. The operation in this application involved the manual cleaning of up to 5,000 parts per day.
