When manufacturing precision components, cleanliness isn’t just important—it’s critical. Contaminants on metal strips, such as oils, grease, or particulate matter, can compromise product quality, interfere with downstream processes, and cause premature equipment failures. These issues not only impact the reliability and performance of the finished product but can also lead to costly production delays and increased waste. The SSS-690 Ultrasonic Metal Strip Cleaner from Zenith Ultrasonics addresses these challenges with state-of-the-art ultrasonic cleaning technology engineered explicitly for continuous metal strip processing. By combining features like precision tensioning, automated controls, and heated cleaning solutions with advanced filtration systems, this cleaner ensures consistent removal of tough contaminants, extending production efficiency and helping manufacturers maintain the highest quality standards.

What Is the SSS-690?

The SSS-690 is a specialized ultrasonic strip washer engineered for reel-to-reel cleaning operations. This industrial-grade system uses high-frequency sound waves to remove contaminants from metal strips as they pass through the cleaning chamber. Unlike traditional cleaning methods that rely on harsh chemicals or spray operations which do not reach all product areas equally and can damage sensitive stampings, ultrasonic metal cleaning provides thorough decontamination of all product areas while preserving the integrity of delicate surfaces. The system operates by generating microscopic cavitation bubbles in the cleaning solution. These bubbles implode rapidly, creating powerful micro-jets that penetrate every surface irregularity to dislodge dirt, oils, oxides, and other contaminants. This process ensures consistent cleaning results across the entire width and length of the metal strip.

Who Benefits Most from This Machine?

The SSS-690 serves industries where precision and cleanliness are non-negotiable. Electronics manufacturers rely on this technology to prepare metal strips for component assembly, ensuring optimal conductivity and preventing connection failures. Automotive suppliers use ultrasonic strip washers to clean stamped parts before coating or welding operations. Medical device manufacturers find particular value in the SSS-690’s ability to achieve pharmaceutical-grade cleanliness standards. The aerospace industry depends on this level of contamination removal for critical components where even microscopic particles can affect performance and safety. Metal finishing operations also benefit significantly from reel-to-reel cleaning systems. Whether preparing strips for plating, anodizing, or powder coating, the SSS-690 ensures optimal surface preparation for consistent finish quality.

What Sets the SSS-690 Apart?

The SSS-690 ultrasonic strip washer is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern manufacturing environments, offering unparalleled efficiency and reliability. It is designed with advanced ultrasonic cleaning technology to ensure every metal surface is meticulously cleaned to the highest standard. Several key features distinguish the SSS-690 from standard industrial parts cleaning systems:
