Specialist finishing equipment company Guyson International manufactures a comprehensive range of standard size configurations of Kerry KST submersible box type transducers. These products are designed to deliver the outstanding processing power of ultrasonic cleaning to existing industrial cleaning or degreasing tanks or to be incorporated into new cleaning lines on an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) basis.

Typical usage for these block type ultrasonic transducers would involve retrofitting to existing cleaning tanks - offering a lower cost alternative, when compared to a whole new cleaning system. Such tanks are often used in pre-treatment cleaning operations for processes such as anodising and plating, where the power of ultrasonics can speed up degreasing and improve subsequent rinsing processes by breaking the bonds of particulates from the component surfaces.

The piezoelectric transducers that deliver the ultrasonics are bonded to the inside surface of the hermetically sealed 316L stainless steel submersible waterproof box. This allows considerable flexibility for positioning of the KST transducer box, which can be located at the bottom of the tank, bulkhead mounted on the side wall(s) or hung over the lip of the tank (rack mounted), depending on the application and process requirements.

Power for the ultrasonic transducers is provided by the Guysonic Generator with Primewave Controller. The new powerful Guysonic generator can deliver up to 1000 watts (1kW) of power per channel, up to 2kW per chassis. The chassis can be connected together up to a maximum of 8 units delivering up to 16 kW. For larger ultrasonic tank systems this equates to fewer generators being required and real savings to be made. The new generator is also proven to deliver a very robust cavitation even with cooler tanks and non-degassed solutions.

In standard configuration the Guyson KST ultrasonic box transducers are available in 9, 12, 16, 18 and 24 block arrays, spread across twelve standard 316L stainless steel box permutations. Sizes range from the smallest at 265 mm square to over a metre in length, all being 100 mm in height. Guyson will also be pleased to quote for custom sizes to match specific requirements of an existing tank which you think may be suitable for ultrasonic cleaning.
