Cage Cleaning Machines: Various Cage Cleaning Solutions

1. Cabinet-type Cleaning Machine: Compact and Flexible, Ideal for Small to Medium Facilities

Technical Principle

Cabinet-type cleaning machines clean cages using high-pressure hot water spray combined with cleaning agents. The typical process includes pre-rinsing, main cleaning, high-temperature rinsing, and drying. Its enclosed structure prevents cleaning fluid splashing, meeting biosafety standards.

Core Advantages

Space Adaptability

Designed with a vertical lifting door, it usually occupies less than 2m×1m×1.5m. Suitable for laboratories with compact cleaning room spaces.

Efficient Cleaning

It can handle 40 mouse IVC cages at a time, completing the entire process in 4-6 minutes.

Precise Control

Siemens PLC system supports parameter customization, with traceable data.

Applicable Scenarios

Small to medium laboratories, animal hospitals, and pet stores. Suitable for facilities with annual cleaning volumes below 100,000 cages.

2. Tunnel-type Cleaning Machine: Continuous Operation, High-efficiency Engine for Large Facilities

Technical Principle

Tunnel-type cleaning machines use a conveyor belt for multi-stage processing. Cages pass through pre-washing, main washing, rinsing, and drying zones in sequence. Take the STIER TA-2BTM2 as an example: it is equipped with 9 groups of spray arms. Fan-shaped nozzles cover the cage surface, and the pre-rinsing program traps residues to avoid blockages.

Core Advantages

Automated Production Line

It can handle hundreds of cages per hour. For example, the STIER LW1500 model reduces manual intervention by 70%.

Energy-saving Design

A heat recovery system reduces energy consumption. Water usage is 40% less than traditional equipment.

Safety Protection

Emergency stop devices and double-layer heat-insulating doors prevent operators from scalding.

Applicable Scenarios

Large pharmaceutical companies, SPF-level animal rooms, and food processing plants.

3. Rotary Cleaning Machine: Industrial-grade Decontamination, Enemy of Complex Structures

Technical Principle

Rotary cage cleaning machines use a conical drum to rotate, driving workpieces to move forward by their own weight. They are paired with high-pressure nozzles (top and bottom) for multi-angle spraying. Their two-stage filtration system separates metal debris and particles, ensuring clean circulation of cleaning fluid.

Core Advantages

Handling Complex Structures

Pendulum motion + 360° spraying can clean irregular workpieces like bearings and auto parts.

Flexible Production Line Adaptation

Supports linkage with oiling and drying systems, reducing turnover costs.

Applicable Scenarios

Machinery manufacturing and industrial scenarios requiring cleaning of irregular cages.

4. Ultrasonic Cleaning Machine: Precision Cleaning, Terminator of Micropore Stains

Technical Principle

Ultrasonic cleaning relies on cavitation: transducers generate high-frequency vibrations (20–100kHz). This makes micro-bubbles in the cleaning fluid burst, creating local high pressure to strip dirt from micropores. Precision parts cleaning often uses a multi-stage process: pre-rinsing → alkaline cleaning → pure water rinsing → drying.

Core Advantages

Non-destructive Cleaning

Non-contact cleaning, suitable for fragile items like optical lenses and surgical instruments. Cleanliness reaches 98%.

Customization Capability

Supports frequency adjustment (28kHz for hard dirt, 400kHz for precision electronics).

Applicable Scenarios

Medical device labs, electronic component laboratories, and cultural relic restoration fields.
