Turbex Versa Mk III redesign results in more capable and compact ultrasonic cleaning system

Four years of development work has enabled Turbex to launch the Versa Mk III. This more compact ultrasonic aqueous cleaning system features an improved method of basket handling and more convenient controls.

Turbex offers its Versa Mk III customers the opportunity to specify any combination of washing, deswarfing, degreasing, rinsing and drying processes in a bespoke line built from modular tanks and components. The system can be subsequently expanded or altered after installation, if required.

The method of transferring a basket of components between each stage has been improved. Handling is accomplished either manually, semi-automatically with the assistance of a pneumatic or electrical lifting arrangement, or fully automatically under programmable logic control. Omission of the former A-frames at each end results in a shorter overall footprint than previously.

Another facet of the redesign is the inclusion of degassing as standard. This removes air dissolved in the water resulting from emptying and filling a tank. Presence of air is undesirable, as it takes energy out of the ultrasonic action and reduces its effectiveness.

Perhaps the most far-reaching upgrade is in the control system, however. The panel on each tank allows more convenient control over accessory functions such as basket dunking and fine filtration. Previously, they were adjusted from elsewhere on the line. Other control improvements include more preset programs and a seven-day timer for each heater.

A line can have any number of tanks of either 40, 80 or 120 litres capacity. When loaded fully automatically, the basket of components can have a maximum basket weight of either 10 or 20 kg, while manual and semi-automatic handling allows loads up to 30 kg to be processed.
