To coincide with
the recent Edale Open House event, Alphasonics have provided the Hampshire
based press manufacturer with a full refurbishment of their ultrasonic cleaning
system for demonstration and in-house cleaning purposes.
The ‘Megan’
system utilises the pioneering Alphasound Dual Frequency technology and is
capable of cleaning three aniloxes of up to 700mm face width technology at one time. It is also of the highest grade of equipment
in the Alphasonics range. The system was
originally installed in 2002 but has undergone a full overhaul to bring the
unit to current specifications for the benefit of Edale and their
customers.
Alphasonics UK
and Ireland Sales Manager, Christopher Jones said: “We’re thrilled to be able
to install not only what is essentially a brand new piece of kit, but also, an
example of the very best cleaning system on the market into Edale’s production
facility. It shows our dedication to
providing the very best quality of equipment and also indicates the strength of
the relationship between our two companies.”
The system will
now be used to clean aniloxes for Edale customers and also as demonstration
tool for those looking to install their own cleaning system to facilitate an
anilox cleaning regime.
Chris Chappel,
Edale’s Print Application Engineer, says “The Alphasonics tank is a crucial part of our anilox maintenance
schedule. With a clean anilox we can be sure that every time it goes to press
we achieve the best possible results.”
The system was unveiled and
demonstrated at the ‘Expo’ event in early February. Along with other OEMs, Alphasonics exhibited
and made educational presentations on their technology during the daylong event.
Chappel
continues, “Our relationship with the
company works well, and we have always had a high level of confidence in their
products. Taking part in our Open House event which we held in February this
year, we hope, has shown visitors the benefits of the unit for themselves.”
Suppliers,
distributors and customers descended on Edale’s production facility in Fareham,
providing a platform for interaction, education and valuable experience for
attendees and exhibitors alike.
Jones said: “All in all, it was a great event and
something we’re extremely happy to be a part of. I think everyone took something away from it
and the team at Edale should be congratulated on their hard work in putting
everything together so well.”
