Ultrasonic Wire Cleaning Machine

Requests for cleaning processes in the wire industry are continuously increasing and at the same time with increased quality requirements. Cleaning is the removal of contaminants present on the surface of the wire but not chemically linked to it.
Cleaning is used for stainless steel, low and high carbon steel, aluminum alloy, copper wire to remove calcium and sodium stearate lubricant residues after the dry drawing process, or lubricant oil from a wet drawing machine or forming process etc.
Two types of technologies are usually proposed for this purpose: ultrasonic cleaning and electrolytic cleaning. Both of them have advantages and have to be chosen carefully depending on the type of wire and the type of products to be removed from the wire. Let’s compare briefly the two technologies.
