Specialty Cleaning Systems
Advanced Systems Specialist

No other company designs and develops more specialized precision ultrasonic cleaning systems than Crest Ultrasonics.  Our custom engineered enterprise consoles feature a wide variety of patented advantages, as well as years of process refinement.  These capabilities synergize into enterprise unit that is more efficient, easier to operate and provides greater throughput per hour.

Crest custom machines are built upon firm foundations.  Often times, our custom systems are derived from two or several of our proven components.  Let’s examine some of Crest patented components that come together to make the world’s best ultrasonic cleaning systems:

The Rigibot is an automated servo controlled handling system that automates the cleaning, rinsing and drying phases of precision cleaning.  This component comes in a variety of strengths and sizes, and can be retrofitted to any of our existing systems with a minimum of effort.  The Rigibot is PLC controlled with a variety of safety mechanisms such as field programming and crash control.  An innovative “teach” feature provides the flexibility needed to achieve superior process cleaning.

The Rotumbler is a unique rotational delivery vehicle that can provide batch cleaning of small, intricate parts or components that tend to cup or retain cleaning fluids.  The rotating design provides substantial cleaning power over typically difficult components due to the constant rotation in a sub aqueous, ultrasonic cleaning environment.  This fosters better cleaning of micro components while eliminating the need for costly human involvement in such efforts.

A unique reverse rotation drain back process provides better preparation for rinse and or drying cycles.  Although the capacity of Crest Rotumblers is quite large, they are lightweight and non corrosive.  Even the drive train is made of durable, non corrosive materials that stand up to years of punishing use.

The Optimum Console is Crest Ultrasonic’s flagship cleaning system.  With over 3000 in use today, this cleaning station has proven both its versatility and durability to enterprise manufacturers.  A wide variety of patentened advantage come together to provide a better ultrasonic cleaning system.
