12.1  SuperCleanox VI HD 

 

At 3,450VA, this is currently the most powerful weld cleaning appliance 
in the world!   

 

Three performance levels cover all your requirements: 

 

from  gentle  cleaning  of  thin,  TIG-welded  metal  sheets  to  polishing 
strongly tarnished or scaled MAG welds.   

 

The power electronics were matched to the high output.   

 

Thermal  fuses  only  switch  off  above  140A  permanent  current 
(100% duty cycle) or 400A pulse current.   

 

Brush and 16mm² earth cable 

 

supply  the  power  to  the  workpiece  without  electrical  and  thermal 
losses. 

 

interruption-free under tough continuous use 

 

up to 100 metre cable length can be used 

 

2-fold brush 

 

4-fold brush   

 

Large surface cleaner 

 

Dark marking 

 

Light marking 

12.2  SuperCleanox VI 

The "SuperCleanox VI" is a compact electrochemical weld cleaning appliance. 
It was developed for commercial use in skilled trades and industry.   

 

Power output 2,500 VA   

 

up to 80A continuous current (100% duty cycle) or 200A pulse current. 

 

Three  performance  levels  for  both  cleaning  and  polishing  solve  almost 
every cleaning problem:   

 

from TIG-welded thin metal sheets   

 

to  MAG-welded  beams,  you  can  clean  and  polish  all  the  different 
welds in heavy-duty industrial applications.   

 

Use of:   

 

cleaning and polishing handles with rigid carbon electrode and felts. 

 

2-fold brush.   

 

4-fold brush.   

 

Large surface cleaner (only under optimal conditions) 

 

Dark marking 

 

Light marking 

12.3  SuperCleanox IV+ 

The SuperCleanox IV+ has been designed for tough, permanent use in 3-shift 
industrial operations.   

 

Power output 1,500 VA   

 

80A continuous current (100% duty cycle) or 140A pulse current 

 

two performance levels for cleaning and polishing.   

 

This output power is completely sufficient for most cleaning tasks.   

 

Use of: 

 

2-fold brush.   

 

Dark marking 

 

Light marking 

 

Use of the following cleaning tools is limited: 

 

4-fold brush 

 

Rigid carbon electrodes with felt 

 
These electrochemical processing appliances work with low DC and AC voltages, which are not dangerous for humans.
