OMNI X TDR-ZP

General Description

The OMNI X TDR-ZP is a fully

integrated cleaning, rinsing,

and drying system consisting

of an ultrasonic cleaning tank, a

two-stage cascade rinse tank,

a recirculated hot air dryer,

and TDR-ZP material handling

system. It’s specifically designed

to provide superior, precision

cleaning of small and medium

items in a variety of applica-

tions. When integrated

with the optional TDR-ZP

two-dimensional transport

system, the OMNI X becomes an

automatic high-throughput cleaning

system with precise PLC control.

Advanced-technology Cavitation Cleaning

OMNI X 1012 systems use ultrasonic cavitation to both

clean and rinse the parts. Cavitation is produced when

high-frequency, high-intensity sound is applied to a

liquid. The sound creates waves of high pressure and low

pressure that pass through the liquid. The low-pressure

OMNI Series

waves create microscopic vacuum bubbles, and when

the next high-pressure wave hits them, they implode

suddenly to create shock waves that blast the soil and

contaminants from even the tiniest holes and crevices.

The turbulence created by cavitation enhances the

action of cleaning chemistries by constantly exposing

surfaces to fresh chemistry. In the same way it improves

cleaning, ultrasonic cavitation also enhances rinsing.

Ultrasonic Cleaning Tank

The basic wash tank is suitable for use with emulsifying chemistries. It’s constructed of

316 stainless steel, with stainless steel fill and drain connections and recirculating pump

and filter to ensure continuous removal of particulate matter. The cleaning tank is equipped

with Branson S8340 industrial 40 kHz ultrasonics as standard equipment, with other

frequencies optional. Cleaning tanks are heated and capable of maintaining 160°F.

Heated Rinsing Tanks

The OMNI X employs two rinsing tanks in a counter-flow cascade arrangement from tank

#3 into tank #2 that provides excellent rinsing while substantially reducing water consump-

tion. A variety of cavitation technologies are also available on rinsing tank #2 to ensure that

all soils and cleaning chemistries are driven from blind holes and crevices before the drying

cycle. Rinsing tanks are heated to maintain the incoming water temperature. Options

include resistivity-controlled water make-up, pump and filter, a variety of ultrasonic fiters,

and rust-inhibitor configuration for tank #3.

Recirculating Hot Air Dryer

The hot air dryer utilizes both elevated temperature (up to 250°F) and rapid air movement

(up to 200 scfm) to thoroughly dry parts. The hot air is recirculated to provide the high

velocity required for rapid drying. Recirculation also reduces the amount of energy

required to maintain air temperature. A percentage of the air is continuously vented to

maintain low humidity in the dryer. Units are equipped with analog over-temperature

safety control and an air-flow safety switch to protect heaters. An optional power cover

is available on automated systems.

All functions on the OMNI X, including temperatures and times, are controlled by a PLC and a 6-inch diagonal, 3-color,

touchscreen operator interface. The touchscreen is angled for improved visibility, and a lockable power disconnect switch

and emergency stop switch are on the stainless steel control box.

Optional Automation with Load and Unload Shelves

Adding a TDR-ZP two-dimensional robot to the OMNI X provides precise process control and maximizes throughput. The robot

is fully integrated with the OMNI X at the factory and requires no additional set-up. It consists of a stepper-motor-powered hori-

zontal drive and pneumatic vertical lift for precise positioning. All drive components are located below the OMNI X countertop

to minimize the potential for contamination. Flex-sequence programming allows the user to process baskets through the tanks

in any sequence. Ten recipes of up to 16 steps each may be programmed by the user. All OMNI X functions may be controlled

automatically as recipe configurations. Optional load and unload platforms that include basket sensors may be mounted to the

OMNI X frame. Accumulating zero-pressure-load and -unload conveyors are also available.
