Blackstone-NEY Ultrasonics’ Agi-Sonic AS-6000 ultrasonic parts cleaning systems platform is known for heavy duty cleaning applications. With payload capacity up to 500 lbs and tank volumes of up to 675 gallons, the latest Agi-Sonic AS-6000 model is a larger system than its past offerings. This model has already been deployed in applications such as mold cleaning and degreasing of exhaust systems for heavy duty trucks.

The combination of ultrasonics and part agitation has been demonstrated to provide the best results in challenging applications such as engine and transmission remanufacturing and aerospace MRO for the removal of corrosion and carbonaceous soils. The systems are employed in day-to-day manufacturing applications such as component degreasing, swarf removal and passivation.

In addition to part agitation and ultrasonics, the systems also include particle filtration, sparging and oil skimming as standard features. The system HMI enables recipe setting to control cycle time and temperature, ultrasonic power and pump recirculation cycles. The auto-fill functionality guarantees adequate liquid level for proper oil separation and filtration function and the lift-out platform returns the parts basket to the operator level at the completion of the cycle. 

The Agi-sonic units can be linked together with standard roller platforms and optional dryers to create semi-automated cleaning lines to reduce the need for operator support. Fully automated hoist and control systems are also offered for customers requiring a complete system solution.
