The Standard By Which All Others Are Judged The Branson Benchmark sets the standards by which all others are measured, incorporating the latest in cleaning technology, a modular approach, and an uncommon level of service. The Benchmark is Branson’s flagship aqueous ultrasonic cleaning system, a culmination of over 60 years of experience. So much more than just a piece of equipment, the Benchmark is a process solution customized to your precision cleaning needs.
Quality You Can Rely On, Year After Year Medical Since 1961, Branson has been a world leader in the development of ultrasonic precision cleaning equip- As with all Branson equipment, the environments and process chemistry, ment. Continually evolving, always Benchmark is built in North America. and they are generally compatible innovating, we stand strongly — and Stainless steel construction is used with clean room environments. Inside proudly — behind the Benchmark.
Superior by Design The uniqueness of Benchmark cleaning systems Standard Tank Sizes starts with the modular design. Configured exactly • 12 x 16 x 12" Deep (~10 gallon) • 16 x 20 x 16" Deep (~20 gallon) • 20 x 24 x 20" Deep (~40 gallon) • 20 x 32 x 20" Deep (~55 gallon) as required for your particular need, the design is determined by tank size, process requirements (wash, rinse, dry, etc.), dwell time per process step, and the type of automation used.
Standard Features • 1 to 14 process stations • All-stainless-steel construction, including frame, tanks, drip pans, lift-off covers, countertop and plumbing • Recessed countertop for fluid spill containment Subhead white • User-friendly front-mounted control panel with digital temperature controllers and watertight switches • Low voltage electrical controls • Direct-bonded piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers • S8300/S8500 sweep-frequency ultrasonic generators, available in 25 kHz to 170 kHz • Screw-
Build a Custom Workflow Virtually any combination of cleaning, rinsing, passivation and drying modules is available to create a custom workflow. Individual modules are selected to form a continuous cleaning process tailored to the specific needs of your applications, not pre-configured, which may hinder your ability to properly clean delicate components or expand as your cleaning requirements change.
Automation Two-Dimensional Robot (TDR) The Branson TDR Series two-dimensional robots are microprocessor- or PLC-based systems designed for automated cleaning. Ruggedly constructed, they’re appropriate for use in either production or clean room environments. The systems are available in two standard load capacities of 15 kg and 50 kg (plus fixture weight) and a variety of configurations to accommodate most production needs.
Benchmark Benchmark System Configuration Options Optional Features • Automation • PLC controls with operator interface • SECS/GEM or CAMX communication protocol • Remote-mounted electrical control box • Data acquisition • Bar-code or RFID • Custom tank sizes • Plastic tanks • Sanitary plumbing • Exhaust hoods for acid or corrosive fume removal • Coved-corner electropolished stainless steel tanks • Semi-aqueous wash tank for use with low-flashpoint chemistry • Side-mounted ultrasonic transducers •
