Under Stencil Cleaning
Cyclone - Faster cleaning with less paper
Ushering in a new generation of under stencil
cleaning, Cyclone is a breakthrough technology
with the capacity to reduce a standard clean down
to just two sweeps. In addition to delivering onboard under stencil cleaning in half the time or less
compared with conventional cleaning technologies,
Cyclone also substantially reduces required paper
volume. Presenting manufacturers with a
significant time and cost saving, Cyclone delivers
advanced stencil cleaning to maximise preplacement yield and uptime. It’s a valuable
productivity and process enhancement tool.
Unlike conventional
cleaning technologies,
Cyclone’s unprecedented
bi-directional active
cleaning deploys a lateral
oscillating action during
traverse. When combined
with an innovative five-stage
cleaning head that extends
the active surface cleaning
area on every stroke, this
unique design allows
increased traverse velocity
for optimal high-speed
stencil cleaning
performance.
Cyclone’s high-flow vacuum
system harnesses the power
of an active carbon filtration
mechanism to further
extend and enhance
cleaning functionality.
A single wet oscillating
stroke simultaneously clears
apertures and removes
remaining residue using
Cyclone’s five head surfaces,
followed by a return
vacuum stroke using all four
vacuum vents. The result
totally eliminates the need
for a conventional third
pass.
Adding to productivity,
rapid paper changeover
ensures minimal
interruption of the line
beat, while cassette-based
paper change is achieved
without unloading the
stencil. As a consequence,
Cyclone delivers a
breakthrough combination
of shorter cleaning cycles,
longer intervals between
paper roll changeover and
dramatically reduced
changeover times. For
today’s manufacturers,
this equates to significantly
higher throughput and
uptime in the critical preplacement process.
