The integration of Ultrasonic technology into Farleygreene’s sieving units has proved to be nothing short of a miraculous solution to not only eliminate mesh deblinding and blocking, but also to accelerate throughputs by a massive 400%.

The patented next generation version goes above and beyond the abilities of predecessor by applying a continuously varying wave, known as ‘frequency variation’, to the mesh screen. This solves common problems that the ‘single wave’ resonance frequency systems of the past suffered from; including heating and ‘hot spots’ that ran the risk of causing premature mesh failure, as well as the individual tuning of each screen in order to work correctly. The new ‘Sonotech’ system, however, finds its own frequency and uniformly washes over the entire screen in a smooth and consistent wave pattern; thus reducing the need for wasteful re-meshing. The converter probe is conveniently situated outside the internal sieving area, to escape material caking as well as making the mesh frame much easier to clean and just a single control box can now run three screens, representing a huge cost saving from other systems on the market, which require the inconvenience of devoting a generator for deblinding each mesh.

Farleygreene can fit the ‘Sonotech’ to all machines from the ‘Sievmaster’ range of screening equipment, as well as a simple retro fit onto other manufacturer’s existing ultrasonic mesh frames. Test units are readily available for demonstration at our facility, or on site trials can also be arranged.
