Edale installs Alphasonics demonstration unit

To coincide with the recent Edale open house, Alphasonics has provided the Hampshire, UK-based press manufacturer with a full refurbishment of its ultrasonic cleaning system for demonstration and in-house cleaning purposes. 

The ‘Megan’ system utilizes the 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 its customers. 

Christopher Jones, Alphasonics UK and Ireland sales manager, 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, 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.’

The system was unveiled and demonstrated at the ‘Expo’ event in early February. Along with other OEMs, Alphasonics exhibited and made educational presentations on its technology during the day-long event. 

Chappel continued: ‘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.’
