elma wf pro · elma suprol pro www.elma-germany.com Elmasolvex® VA Single-chamber ultrasonic vacuum technology for cleaning with solvents. TÜV-certified safety due to intrinsic Ex-protection.
The new standard for the use of flammable solvents in watch movement cleaning.
• Ex-certified solvent-based cleaning of watch movements (TÜV Rheinland).
• Protection against solvent vapours and odours using extraction or self-contained filter system. • Vacuum technology also reaches difficult-to-access places and removes gas bubbles from the movements. • Cleaning and rinsing using multi-frequency ultrasound in rotation or oscillation process. • Machine can be completely rotated, media containers and connections are very easily accessible. • Media containers are easy to replace and rinse out. Integrated particle filter for increasing the service life of the cleaning and rinsing solutions. • Wide range of practical accessories; see accessories catalogue.
Ultrasonic and vacuum technology guarantees.
• maximum cleanliness due to removal of interfering gas bubbles.
• explosion safety due to the Ex-protection measures integrated in the machine.
Process: Ultrasonic / vacuum process for solvents in the rotation or oscillation process
Solvent cleaning: ex-certified for flammable solvents with flashpoint >= 12 °C; e.g. elma wf pro, 3 x elma suprol pro, drying
