Improved precision cleaning from ultrasonic tank range

for tuning and servicing. This also removes them from any proximity to the floor where they may have been vulnerable to damp and water ingress. Guyson’s Kerry KS systems have been designed to achieve optimum cleaning results using aqueous solutions. Ultrasonic transducers bonded to the tank base provide high performance and reliability together with uniform distribution of the ultrasonic energy. The frequency is factory tuned to the individual tank/transducer combination and then optimised under normal usage conditions with frequency sweep and fully automatic tuning.

filling guidelines. Optional low water level sensor housing and wiring is included in the tank build so retrospective take up of that function can be easily undertaken for the customer without them having to incur excessive costs and rework to the system. Service friendly features include a removable rear panel to allow service access to rear tank heater mats and now incorporated into the new overall design the generator and processor boards and all major controlling electronics are housed in a lockable cabinet mounted to the side of the tank which allows for much easier access

ELECTRONIC & Engineering Co Ltd (EECI), India, specialises in providing innovative and cost effective ultrasonic test systems for tubes and pipes. EECI has more than three decades of experience in delivering UT systems for the inspection of tubes and pipes from a quarter of an inch to 100 inches diameter. UT Systems designed and manu- factured by EECI have: state of the art digital ultrasonic test electronics; automation to achieve higher testing speed, minimise manpower requirement and improve quality of testing; turnkey single point responsibility, unmatched after sales service and application support; and SPECIALIST finishing equipment manu- facturer Guyson International has recently upgraded its entire range of Kerry branded ultrasonic KS cleaning tanks. All models have been improved with an extended feature set and vastly upgraded operational performance that delivers superior cleaning results in faster start up times. This uprated range of high quality ultrasonic cleaning tanks takes advantage of Guyson’s ongoing investment in its in-house engineering capability with new state of the art 3D CAD and Product Data Management (PDM) systems and the complete product range has been fully re-engineered and redrawn incorporating all the latest design best practice. There are six standard tank sizes in the range with the smallest tank, being the KS300, having a tank capacity of 17.5 litres and extending all the way up to the KS4000 which has a very substantial 247.5 litre capacity. Larger sizes are available to special order. All are robustly constructed using AISI 316L polished stainless steel tanks for durability, whilst Kerry Pulsatron ultrasonic generators ensure powerful parts cleaning and long equipment life. The newly designed tank range has a varied feature set which aims to deliver very real operational benefits for purchasers with features such as substantially increased number of heater pads to speedily raise the fluid temperature to operational levels, and clearly marked fluid max and min levels on the internal tank wall to enable easy

meet the inspection code requirement of third-party inspectors. EECI recently installed two systems to a leading spiral pipe manufacturer located in North America. The first system was installed for 100% inspection of coils (width 2,100mm) whereas the second system was installed for weld inspection having configurable test configuration of 4I + 2X + HAZ + ON BEAD + TANDEM + PIPE END testing along with advanced laser seam tracking module. This fully automated system has PC-based data logging and test reports generation as per the format required by the customers and international inspection agencies.

The scope of supply includes project engineering, supervision of erection and commissioning and training of operating personnel. The EECI product range includes portable ultrasonic flaw detectors and thickness gauges along with complete range of probes, reference blocks and related accessories, magnetic particle equipment, eddy current test system incorporating Institute Dr Foerster’s test electronics and sub assemblies.
