Watch it work

Inside the chamber, on a real trial

Five clips from one customer trial, July 2026: the basket turning behind the sight glass, the chamber sealing, 25 kHz cavitation working the parts under the surface, the wash at full noise and the rinse jets that follow it. Filmed on an UltraWash trial — the same sealed-chamber process the UltraWash 70 runs at its own scale.

The parts and the before/after results are in the gallery above — production residue, stripped to base metal in a programmed cycle.

Why this machine

The critically-clean cell

The UltraWash 70 is the machine from our lock case study: a sealed chamber that takes a 470 × 320 mm basket through spray, injection flood wash, rotating ultrasonics, rinse, forced hot-air and vacuum drying — critically clean and assembly-dry in one cycle, roughly twenty minutes basket to basket.

Three heated Collection Tanks keep wash and rinse chemistry separate and filtered (10 µm cartridge + 50 µm bags), a belt skimmer takes the oil, auto-fill holds levels, and a Siemens S7-1200 runs five recipes behind an interlocked sliding door. For instrument makers, lock and hardware manufacturers, and any line where "clean" means gauged, not glanced.

The process library

One chamber. Eight recipe slots. This is what customisation means.

Every recipe below runs in this machine — same chamber, different sequence. Change the part family and the operator changes the recipe, not the machine. This is the UltraWash argument in one section: the processes are the product.

Critical degrease + RO dry

≈ 20 min

Pharmaceutical · nutraceutical · medical

Spray wash→US wash 72 °C→Flush2Drain→Gross rinse→RO rinse→Forced hot-air dry→Vacuum

The delivered pharmaceutical cycle: product and machine oils off, Flush2Drain purges the sump so residual oils never touch the rinse stages, RO water finishes spot-free, vacuum empties the blind ports. Verifiable, logged, repeatable.

Heavy degrease

≈ 12 min

Workshop · MRO · production parts

Spray wash→IFW + rotation→US wash→Gross rinse→Forced hot-air dry

The daily workhorse recipe: turbulation and rotation carry the bulk load, ultrasonics finishes the geometry, forced hot-air drying finishes for handling. No RO stage — throughput first.

Congealed & crystallised soils

≈ 25 min

Gelatin · slurries · food process residues

Warm soak + turbulation→US wash→Flush2Drain→Gross rinse→RO rinse→Vacuum

For soils that must dissolve before they can leave — congealed gelatin, crystallised slurries: a heated turbulation soak softens, cavitation strips, Flush2Drain takes the residue to drain before any rinse water is spent.

Pre-sterilisation instrument cycle

≈ 15 min

Medical · dental · veterinary reprocessing

Spray wash→US wash low power→Gross rinse→RO rinse→Forced hot-air dry→Vacuum

Instrument-grade chemistry at controlled power, RO finish, and drying complete before packaging — the cleaning step of the reprocessing workflow, parameterised and logged per basket.

Swarf & particulate flush

≈ 8 min

Machined components · pre-assembly

IFW + rotation→US burst→Flush2Drain→Gross rinse→Forced hot-air dry

Rotation keeps drillings changing aspect while injection flood evacuates chips; the ultrasonic burst clears what clings. Short, violent, effective.

Passivation-prep clean

≈ 14 min

Stainless fabrication · aerospace · food equipment

Spray wash→US wash→Gross rinse→RO rinse→Vacuum

ASTM A380 discipline: passivation only works on a genuinely clean surface. This recipe delivers it, RO-rinsed, ready for the citric line.

End-of-day maintenance cycle

≈ 6 min

The machine cleans itself

Flush2Drain→Collection Tank filter pass→Sump rinse

The recipe most machines never have: sump flushed to drain, Collection Tanks turned over through filtration, Monday starts clean. Initiated from the HMI like any other program.

Seven of the sequences we have delivered or specified — every stage time, temperature, rotation speed, spray pressure and ultrasonic power is an editable recipe value on the HMI.

A delivered cycle, minute by minute

The pharmaceutical 20-minute cycle — from a real proposal

Stage	Time	What happens
Load	15 s	Basket rolls in from the conveyor — single operator
Spray wash · 72 °C	60 s	High-pressure spray as the basket rotates and the tank floods
Ultrasonic wash · 72 °C	420 s	Rod-resonator cavitation with 360° basket rotation; drains to Collection Tank 1
Rinse2Drain spray · 70 °C	30 s	Flush2Drain purges sump and residues straight to drain — no cross-contamination into the rinses
Gross rinse · 70 °C	120 s	Hot flooding rinse with ultrasonics and rotation
RO rinse · 70 °C	45 s	Reverse-osmosis water finish — spot-free, residue-free
Forced hot-air dry · 120 °C	—	Regenerative blower drives forced hot air through the rotating basket — bulk moisture gone
Vacuum dry	—	Chamber vacuum evacuates blind ports and galleries — assembly-dry

Mixed aluminium, stainless, brass, carbon steel and PTFE parts to 60 kg; soils from machine oils to congealed gelatin and crystallised slurries — 24-hour, three-shift duty. Client naming pending permission.

Questions

Before you specify

What exactly happens inside the chamber?

One sealed chamber runs the whole sequence: spray wash and injection flood wash knock down and flush the soil, the basket rotates through swept 25 kHz ultrasonics for the deep clean, Collection Tank rinses follow, then forced hot-air and vacuum drying finish the parts — bone dry, inside the same door they went in through. Parts never see workshop air mid-process.

Why three Collection Tanks?

Wash chemistry and rinse water live in their own heated, filtered Collection Tanks and are pumped to the chamber per recipe stage — so chemistry is not diluted by rinsing, rinse water stays clean, and changeovers are a recipe selection, not a bath change.

What does vacuum drying add over hot air?

Blind holes and galleries hold water against airflow alone. Pulling chamber vacuum drops the boiling point and evacuates moisture from exactly the features that matter — the difference between dry-looking and assembly-dry.

How clean does the bath stay?

Each Collection Tank runs staged filtration — cartridge plus bag, down to 5–10 µm final — with coalescer or belt-skimmer oil removal and auto-fill make-up. The bath-defence playbook, plumbed in.

What controls it?

Siemens S7 PLC with colour HMI: five stored recipes covering every stage time, temperature and sequence, PT-100 sensing, interlocked pneumatic sliding door, and remote diagnostics on the 70 and 150.

Is this the machine from the lock case study?

Yes — the critically-clean brass lock process (spray + IFW degrease, water-spray rinse, hot air + vacuum dry) is the UltraWash sequence. Read it: the case study is the demonstration.

What if the standard chambers don't fit our line?

UltraWash is also our custom-build platform — front-loading always: conveyor infeed, cleanroom-adjacent builds and pharmaceutical finishes have all been delivered. The custom option starts from your parts and your takt time.

Power and services?

415 V three-phase throughout; heating 20–40 kW by model, and the 300 draws up to 96 kW connected. Compressed air for the door and process valves; water and drain at the machine. Site-services check on every quote.
