Ransohoff's new Lean-Jet RB-8 part of CTG's family of lean products, has met a new standard of cleaning.  CTG recently developed a specific new process consisting of part fixturing, chemistries, and cycle times to meet a customer's  200 micron cleanliness specification.  The cleanliness level exceeded the customer's expectations and the perfomance surpassed similar washers they currently have in house. In the new Lean-Jet RB-8 all of the internal passages are thoroughly cleaned and flushed using our patented "triple action" cleaning process.  After the initial wash, an ultrasonic cleaning cycle is used to enhance the "triple action" process.  To insure a maximum particle size of 200 micron is maintained, step filtration is used on the rinse tank.  This includes 50 micron bag filters, followed by 10 micron cartridge filtration.

CTG is continually striving to raise cleaning standards and this new process will allow CTG's Lean family of parts washers to meet your most demanding cleanliness specifications.

Suzhou, China - The Cleaning Technologies Group and National Machinery Co. Ltd. (Suzhou) hosted "China Aerospace High Efficient Technology Conference 2010"  at their Suzhou plant in China.  Around 100 attendees visited the facility and listened to a presentation about "Cleaning and Cold Forming Technology in the Aerospace Industry". Mr. Barney Bosse, President of Ransohoff CTG, started with a welcome speech.  Mr. Zheng Enlin, Vice GM, presented a variety of cleaning technologies, applications and equipments used in the areospace industry.  Mr. Cheang, Mun Pok, GM presented on the latest technology in cold forming for the aerospace industry.  The audience showed strong interest in both presentations and demonstrations.  After the conference, some attendees participated in some in-depth discussions with our sales team.  

Ransohoff, originally named The Ideal Concrete Company, was founded in 1916 by Nathan Ransohoff, introducing a batch type tumbling barrel as his first product line. Offering concrete mixers as the primary source of revenue, the idea of applying a finish to parts by tumbling them with an aggregate or corn media was originally born while Nathan was watching construction workers clean their tools in his cement mixers after a days work. Today, Ransohoff is one of the worlds largest producers of drum washers and tumbling barrels. Often used for cleaning and polishing ammunition shells, castings, carbon covered remanufactured parts, and fasteners.

Blackstone-NEY Ultrasonics is pleased to announce its newly redesigned Aquarius tank to tank precision ultrasonic cleaning system. Our patented technology allows us to incorporate seven (7) independent frequencies, 40-80-120-140-170-220-270, in a single tank which makes for a very compact design. Complete with a fully automated robotic transfer this high production cleaning system is designed to meet your most stringent cleanliness requirements. With the programmable controller being capable of running multiple recipes, dictated by an operator or part specific bar codes, this system is completely flexible for any part configuration. The controller can be programmed to track parts through the cleaning process as well as log all process parameter data points including dwell times, process temperatures, ultrasonic settings, and output this data for external storage. Ethernet connectivity is also standard in the Aquarius line allowing for full integration into any production environment. This system is designed to be modular and fully scalable allowing it to be used for a variety of final cleaning and Passivation processes for the Medical, Aerospace, and many other precision industries.
