ACS Takes the Pressure Out of Cleaning the Machine

16 December 2009

Since becoming the sole UK distributor for the new mobile universal low pressure cleaner range from PH-Cleantec in 2009, acs has witnessed an extremely high level of interest. In December 2009 an exciting new mobile unit was introduced for cleaning machine tools, adding to the range of mobile component cleaning systems currently available.

The Cleantec SRK1000-AS is an innovative new machine that heats water or machine coolant to 95 degrees C within a minute to conduct machine cleaning operations. The exciting new 1000SRK-AS works at an operating pressure from 3 to 7.5Bar to clean components and machine tools.

This new development from acs is ideal for manufacturers that use a variety of materials on machine tools and cannot allow contamination from one material to the next. The 1000SRK-AS will rapidly remove any swarf or excess material eliminating the risk of contamination. For maintenance departments, the extremely mobile cleaning unit can be wheeled to any machine in a production area within minutes, credit to its lightweight 55kg frame. To further improve access to machine tools, the unit has a 5m suction hose, 8m power cable and 5m lance hose attached to a standard 600mm lance.

The flexibility of the 1000SRK-AS enables maintenance/service engineers to comfortably load/unload the unit from a vehicle or storage facility direct to the area to be cleaned with exceptional ease. Once in place, the compact mobile unit that has no fluid tank can suck liquid directly from the machine tool coolant sump or can be connected to an external water tap providing a variable spray water volume from 1 to 1.8litre/per minute. This provides maintenance staff with a solution to removing stubborn marks, oil, swarf and stains from the area to be cleaned. It is this mobility and extreme deep cleaning capability that makes the 1000SRK-AS the ideal solution for thoroughly cleaning machine tools at planned maintenance downtimes. For further details on how to use the PH-Cleantec range in conjunction with planned, preventative, maintenance schedules please contact acs for a demonstration.
