VIPIR 3-in-1 Pretreatment System for Metal Surfaces
Ideal for metal surface preparation The modular VIPIR
(Vertical Pressure Island with Rinse) and the integrated PIR (Pressure
Island with Rinse) three-in-one pretreatment systems clean,
phosphatize, and rinse in one machine. These systems are ideal for
painting or powder coating pretreatment applications and other metal
surface applications. Customers save money on labor, water use and
chemical use versus hand wiping metal parts prior to painting or powder
coating. The VIPIR wash system can also be integrated with existing
wash pads. |

The VIPIR provides chemical savings through:
- Programmable logic control of a water inlet flow meter and
peristaltic pump for adjusting and controlling the volume of chemical
injection.
- The capability of the system's wash tank to remain at a
consistent ration of chemistry to water for a much longer duratino of
continual re-use. This is a result of the rinse water not diluting the
wash tank and programmable automated chemical injection.
The VIPIR provides ease of use through:
- Adjustable PLC controlled functions for adapting to the operational
needs of the end user to keep any cleaning operation running at peak
efficiency.
- Built-in safety features that protect the operator and the components of the machine, including:
-water
level control that ensure the machine only functions when there is
sufficient water to cover the heating element and to supply the
pressure pump
-machine shutdown when filter needs cleaning
-machine shutdown if an electrical overload occurs
The VIPIR provides water and engery savings through:
- Pressureized fresh water that rinses parts faster and with less water
- A small wash tank that requires less water
- The use of a highly efficent heating element within a small tank
