Edale gets cleaning overhaul from Alphasonics

Ultrasonic cleaning specialist Alphasonics has overhauled the Megan system installed at press manufacturer Edale a decade ago to provide it with up-to-date technology for in-house cleaning and demonstration purposes.
 
The Megan system utilizes Alphasound dual frequency technology and is capable of cleaning three aniloxes of up to 700mm face width technology at one time. 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. The system will 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.    
 

'With a clean anilox we can be sure that every time it goes to press we achieve the best possible results'

The refurbished system was unveiled and demonstrated at the Edale Open House event in early February where, along with other OEMs, Alphasonics exhibited and made educational presentations on their technology. 
 
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.’
 
Chris Chappel, Edale’s print application engineer, said: ‘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.
 
‘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.’
