Heated wash is regulated efficiently
A special sump-pumping facility has been designed for the latest two-stage automatic conveyorised aqueous wash and dry system to regulate the cleaning efficiency of the heated wash solution.
A special sump-pumping facility has been designed for the latest Guyson Marr-Line 300/200, two-stage automatic conveyorised aqueous wash and dry system to regulate the cleaning efficiency of the heated wash solution and to minimise loss of production caused by the need for regular wash tank emptying and replenishing operations Built to process a continuous flow of a variety of steel bearing cages immediately after chemical deburring, the machine can be directly linked to an in-house water treatment recycling plant

Keying surface produced for anodising
When Bodycote a world leader in metal technology, were faced with a demanding finishing problem, coupled with an extremely tight delivery deadline, they approached Guyson International for help.
From an increased capacity 220 litres wash tank a predetermined volume of used wash solution is pumped periodically direct to the water treatment centre by a stainless steel sump pump linked to two newly introduced sensors positioned at two different wash solution working levels, high and intermediate.
Selected specially for this application, the sump pump delivers a slow flow rate of between 100 to 200 litres per hour and is capable of producing a lift of up to 6 metres high with enough power to reach a treatment plant distanced up to 80 metres away.
When the wash solution inside the tank reaches the higher working level the sump pump automatically activates and proceeds to gradually reduce the volume of solution in the tank to the intermediate level when it stops.

Quality cleaning for metal worked components
Metal-worked aluminium components are literally singled out for individual treatment by a new, aqueous based, three stage, wash rinse and dry system from Guyson International.
At this point the machine's automatic water fill system cuts in to top up the tank to the higher working level for the complete cycle to restart.
Meanwhile the pressurised spray washing and drying operations continue without interruption unless in the event of an emergency arising the wash solution falls below a preset safety level when a low-water level sensor stops the process pump and switches off the tank heating.
The thermostatically controlled wash solution is heated by 16kW electric immersion heaters and a predetermined dosing programme is followed to ensure a consistent cleaning efficiency as it is delivered under pressure by the machine's process pump to a series of upper and lower spray bars each fitted with control valves to adjust the flow to the spray jets.
Any contaminants in the solution are removed as it passes through a fine 200-micron inline filter fitted between the pump and the spray jets.
A continuous flow of bearing cages enters the system directly from the conveyor of the previous chemical deburring operation on to the Marr-Line 300mm wide stainless steel honeycomb mesh conveyor which moves at speeds varying from 300mm to 750mm per minute to produce a target throughput of 450 steel bearing cages per hour.
