Clean Stainless Steel TIG Welds And Surfaces To Protection
The new generation of the Fronius MagicCleaner – the advanced electro-chemical cleaner for the perfect finish on stainless steel TIG welds and surfaces – is now available in two variants.
In addition to meeting the highest standards of aesthetics and hygiene, Fronius has packed even more into the robust shell: TIG welds can now be polished to a shine and workpieces can be marked with logos or serial numbers.
From interfering with a clean visual appearance in architecture, commercial kitchens or stainless steel swimming pools to the food and pharmaceutical industry, strong temper colours range from being a mere visual distraction to a quality defect to be avoided at all costs. They indicate a chromium oxide protective layer that is not intact and which can be a starting point for corrosion or deposits.
Cleaning and passivation restore this protective layer over the weld and on stainless steel surfaces. With the MagicCleaner, these can even be carried out at the same time in one simple and time-saving step. At just 4.5 kilograms, the lightweight MagicCleaner 150 (15 A output) is the perfect portable companion for construction sites. Its big brother, the MagicCleaner 300, is ideal for more intensive applications and for cleaning longer TIG welds. Delivering up to 30 A of performance, the MagicCleaner 300 weighs 14 kilograms and has a 1.8 l cleaning fluid tank as well as a patented compressed air blower. Both devices can be operated intuitively and supply the cleaning pad with electrolyte, thus eliminating the cumbersome process of having to immerse it in a separate container full of liquid.
Precise and economical consumption
With the MagicCleaner, the electrolyte is precisely dosed and conveyed specifically to where it is needed. The pads and brushes included in the scope of supply even penetrate into corners and gaps, ensuring optimum cleaning with minimal use of materials. Electro-chemical cleaning is also much more resource-friendly than conventional pickling in chemical baths and does not attack the material, as is the case with sandblasting, for example. Naturally Fronius also uses innovative inverter technology for its weld-cleaning solutions, which makes the devices lightweight and particularly energy-efficient.
Three functions in one device: cleaning, polishing and marking
On highly polished materials, the weld seams should not only be pure, but downright radiant. Achieving this could not be easier thanks to the "electro-chemical polishing" function. Direct (DC) current is used to brighten the seams and make them shine in no time. But the MagicCleaner can do even more: company logos, item or serial numbers, and barcodes can be applied to stainless steel in black or white print. All that is needed is a suitably designed film and a special electrolyte solution. This is a good and cost-saving alternative to embossing, printing or gluing.
