OVERVIEW
 The Branson Cylsonic Ultrasonic Wire Cleaner is a production tool designed specifically around the need to clean wire inline during or following the drawing process. The Cylsonic processor assembly uses heavy duty magnetostrictive ultrasonic transducer elements arrayed radially around the circumference of a 2.9" diameter process tube. Wire is passed through the tube following drawing and exposed to a very high intensity ultrasonic field. This methodology will improve cleaning over traditional "wipe methods" significantly and often enhances throughput and improves productivity by permitting higher line speeds.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Ultrasonic exposure can be used to improve a variety of operations used daily in the wire industry. Typical applications for this processor include:
- Removal of drawing soaps and lubricants following the drawing process
- Removal of oxides and scale after quenching or annealing operations
- Final cleaning before coating to improve adhesion
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Cylsonic wire cleaner utilizes high power 20 kHz magnetostrictive transducers to assure maximum energy in the process tube. The tube is constructed of Schedule 80, type 316 stainless steel for compatibility with a broad range of cleaning liquids. Multiple Cylsonic transducer head assemblies can be used in series to increase ultrasonic exposure and permit cleaning at line speeds up to 1000 fpm. Stainless steel flanges and gasket systems are available to facilitate multi-head use. Branson Cylsonic wire cleaners are driven by our G1KA ultrasonic generators. Cylsonic wire cleaning modules are generally incorporated in a complete wire cleaning stations including cleaning solution management, rinsing, and drying if required.

OVERVIEW
 The Branson WF3-16 Ultrasonic Wire Cleaner is a production tool designed specifically around the need to clean wire during or following the drawing process. The WF3-16 processor assembly uses ultrasonic transducer elements arrayed radially around the circumference of a 3.0" diameter process tube. Wire is passed through the tube following drawing and exposed to a very high intensity ultrasonic field. This methodology will improve cleaning over traditional "wipe methods" significantly and often enhances throughput and improves productivity by permitting higher line speeds.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Ultrasonic exposure can be used to improve a variety of operations used daily in the wire industry. Typical applications for this processor include:
- Removal of drawing soaps and lubricants following the drawing process
- Removal of oxides and scale after quenching or annealing operations
- Final cleaning before coating to improve adhesion
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The WF3-16 wire cleaner utilizes highly efficient 40 kHz piezoelectric transducers to assure maximum energy in the process tube. The tube is constructed of Schedule 80, type 316 stainless steel for compatibility with a broad range of cleaning liquids. Multiple WF3-16 transducer head assemblies can be used in series to increase ultrasonic exposure and, therefore, throughput. Stainless steel flanges and gasket systems are available to facilitate multi-head use. Branson WF3-16 wire cleaners are driven by our S8540 ultrasonic generators. These generators are equipped with a number of features which bring flexibility to liquid processing applications. They include line/load power control, amplitude control and several frequency options to optimize processing.
