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;

Processes and media

The quality of the mechanical watches and thus the requirements

in production and service for the movement cleaning have in-

creased continuously. Complex design of the precision engineering

and continually increasing requirements for materials and surfaces

require a cleaning process which satisFes these most exacting de

mands.

Ultrasound achieves excellent cleaning results requiring only very

short process times. However, technically, ultrasound must be con

sidered as a heater which makes explosion protection a difﬁcult

technical requirement.

Elmasolvex

VA has its own self-contained intrinsic Ex-protection

due to the vacuum technology used and all the measures required

by TÜV and the applicable technical regulations for explosion safe-

ty. This means that the explosion protection measures integrated in

the machine already rule out any Fre hazard in the primary zone,

operation in compliance with the manual provided. The use of ul-

trasound is thus legally possible and permitted. The TÜV test per-

formed conFrms the requirements for the use of the prescribed CE

mark.

elma wf pro and elma suprol pro

Cleaning and rinsing solutions. ReFormulated, optimised For watch movement cleaning with ultrasound.

In addition to the requirements For optimum cleaning, the cleaning and rinsing solutions must also satisFy

the requirements For environmental compatibility and proper disposal.

The reFormulated „elma wF pro“ and „elma suprol pro“ characteristics For cleaning, deoxidation, rinsing

and fast redrying have been optimised and thus have improved action and stability.

elma wf pro

cleaning solution

• Stable microemulsion, particularly with regard to heating caused by ultrasound, entrainment oF mois

ture and effects caused by vacuum.

No milky or unwanted precipitation even aFter long usage.

• Optimised For ultrasonic cleaning.

• Tried and tested in vacuum cleaning.

• Strong deoxidising action and clear brightening For non-Ferrous and precious metal alloys.

• Removes even highly resiniFied oils.

• Very high stability For water absorption with respect to humidity in tropical and subtropical climates or

in the case of moisture traces on the parts to be cleaned.

• The moisture is removed From the workpieces. They are absolutely Free oF water aFter the cleaning and

rinsing.

elma suprol pro
