TierraTech México has developed the TT-10.000, a high-capacity industrial ultrasonic cleaning machine designed for a world leader in the manufacturing and remanufacturing of industrial mid-range gas turbines. This system is specifically engineered for cleaning LP gas turbines and compressors, simultaneously removing carbon deposits and epoxy paint, ensuring optimal preparation for maintenance or refurbishment.
The system replaces traditional abrasive cleaning methods, reducing cleaning time, costs, and risk of damage to critical components.
Six-Stage Ultrasonic Cleaning Process for Turbine Remanufacturing
The TT-10.000 features six tanks of 2,642 gallons each, providing a complete and controlled cleaning workflow:
-
Tank Nº 1: Ultrasonic cleaning with alkaline detergent to remove heavy carbon and contaminants
-
Tank Nº 2: Rinsing with ultrasonic water for uniform residue removal
-
Tank Nº 3: Cold rinsing with micro bubble system for precision cleaning of intricate parts
-
Tank Nº 4: Hot rinsing with micro bubble system to ensure complete elimination of residues
-
Tank Nº 5: Passivation of the parts to prevent corrosion
-
Tank Nº 6: Drying for fully moisture-free components
Reducing Costs and Improving Process Efficiency
This ultrasonic cleaning system eliminates the need for abrasive blasting of turbine components, reducing process times and operational costs while ensuring the integrity of sensitive parts. By combining multiple cleaning stages with ultrasonic cavitation and micro bubble systems, the TT-10.000 achieves superior results in high-volume remanufacturing environments.
The TT-10.000 demonstrates how industrial ultrasonic cleaning machines can be tailored for the most demanding remanufacturing applications, delivering precision, efficiency, and reliability for critical power generation equipment.
