Abicor Binzel Abicleaner 1000 AC/DC Stainless Steel Weld Cleaner

When conventional abrasive grinding techniques or traditional pickling methods encounter their limitations, the ABICLEANER emerges as a swift and gentle solution. In contrast to conventional cleaning approaches involving pickling pastes, abrasives, brushes, fleece, or emery, electrochemical surface cleaning with the ABICLEANER leaves no unsightly grinding or pickling marks on the workpiece. Moreover, with its millions of carbon fiber brush filaments, the ABICLEANER effortlessly accesses challenging areas like inner seams of railings, effectively cleaning them after welding without any residual traces, all accomplished while operating at 80 amps with a 100% duty cycle.

In many industrial production processes, tarnishing is undesirable due to aesthetic considerations, and this is where the ABICLEANER truly excels. Particularly when welding stainless steel, it can create unsightly tarnish colors that mar the appearance of railings, facades, switch cabinets, and other surfaces. Ideally, these tarnish marks must be gently removed. The use of pickling pastes or other abrasive and grinding tools can be both highly toxic and leave unsightly blemishes on the delicate stainless steel surface. Anyone who has attempted to clean a kitchen extractor hood with a felt sponge and scouring agent knows the frustration of these surface scratches. With the ABICLEANER, even intricate surface patterns like waffle designs remain unchanged, preserving their original appearance.

In addition to its gentle surface cleaning capabilities, achieved through a hydrofluoric acid-free solution, the ABICLEANER also possesses the ability to restore corrosion resistance following mechanical, chemical, or thermal treatments. Stainless steel forms a protective layer of chromium oxide when exposed to the environment, rendering it corrosion-resistant. After cleaning the weld seam surface with the ABICLEANER, this precious metal is passivated, regaining its corrosion-resistant properties.

To ensure that tarnishing has no foothold, this compact and lightweight unit operates with alternating current and is employed in settings where tarnish is unwelcome. The ABICLEANER 800 is ideally suited for cleaning and passivating stainless steel surfaces post-welding, such as stair railings, balcony railings, stainless steel facades, as well as in pipeline construction and chemical and plant engineering applications.
