Ultrasonic Wire Cleaner

The TRANSONIC RKT-3000 Ultrasonic Wire Cleaner is a production tool designed specifically around the need to clean wire during or following the drawing process. The RKT 3000 processor assembly uses ultrasonic transducer elements arrayed radially around the circumference of a 6.0" diameter process tube. Wire is passed through the tube following drawing and exposed to a very high intensity ultrasonic field. This methodology will improve cleaning over traditional "wipe methods" significantly and often enhances throughput and improves productivity by permitting higher line speeds.

Ultrasonic exposure can be used to improve a variety of operations used daily in the wire industry. Typical applications for this processor include:
* Removal of drawing soaps and lubricants following the drawing process
* Removal of oxides and scale after quenching or annealing operations
