OVERVIEW
Benchmark Series precision modular cleaning systems incorporate design
features and design standards by which all other systems are judged.
From state-of-the-art ultrasonic generators to the latest in process
management, the Benchmark Series will meet your needs. They are
designed from an end-user point of view. Quality, reliability, process
flexibility, and serviceability are all designed in. Virtually any
combination of cleaning, rinsing, and drying modules is available.
These systems are designed to minimize environmental impact. They use
soil management techniques like coalescing and ultrafiltration, water
management tools like cascade rinsing and closed-loop deionized water
modules, and efficient recirculating dryers to minimize waste streams.
UNIQUE DESIGN, DURABLE UNITS
The uniqueness of the Benchmark Series starts with the modular design.
Individual pre-engineered clean, rinse, and dry modules are selected to
form a continuous cleaning process tailored to the specific needs of
your application. Systems are not pre-configured which may limit
process flexibility and results or make future process changes
difficult and expensive. Available in standard tank sizes from 12" x
16" to 20" x 32", a Benchmark system is more than another cleaning line
- it is an investment in cleaning technology. As your needs or
technology change there will be Benchmark modules available to quickly
re-configure your system.
Stainless
steel construction is used throughout including structural components.
Benchmark Series units are resistant to corrosive environments and
process chemistry and are generally compatible with cleanroom
environments.

OVERVIEW
Benchmark Series High Performance Hot Air Dryers incorporate design
features and design standards by which all others systems are judged.
They have been developed from an end-user point of view - quality,
reliability, process flexibility, and serviceability are all designed
in. Room air is heated to expand its moisture-carrying capability and
recirculated in high volume to extract liquids from parts following
precision cleaning operations.
UNIQUE DESIGN FOR EFFICIENCY
The uniqueness of the Benchmark Series starts with the updraft airflow design. Significant testing has proven this design to be far more effective in most applications than traditional downdraft dryers. Benchmark Dryers can heat air from ambient to 250° F as required by specific application. This hot air can be recirculated, re-using the energy used to bring it up to operating temperature and thereby limiting operating costs. With recirculation rates up to 2100 cfm you can be assured of dry parts in the shortest possible time.
The entire process is Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) managed for precise drying and process repeatability and there is a built-in interface for linear material handling equipment.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Chamber sizes from 12" x 16" to 20" x 32"
- Wide temperature range from ambient to 250° F (+/- 3%) to accommodate different types of applications
- High volume airflow up to 2700 cfm to quickly and effectively remove all moisture
- Full Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to facilitate consistency even with changes to manage multiple applications
- Updraft design for efficient air usage and shortest dry cycles
- All stainless steel construction for durability
- Low-loss air duct design to optimize flow
- High response, non-contaminating Nichrome heater elements
OPTIONS
- HEPA filtration for high precision drying applications - 99.97% effective retention at particle sizes down to 0.3 microns
- Power cover with releasable hinge for operator safety
- Sliding power cover
- Forced air blow-off for gross water removal
