Air Powered Mechanical Immersion Agitation was pioneered and perfected by Magnus Equipment over 60 years ago. It is often copied, but never duplicated.

The basic principle of mechanical immersion agitation is to move parts up and down, through, and in some cases, in and out of the cleaning solution. Moving the part through the solution causes solution to flow over all part surfaces and through passages creating turbulence on the part surface. Bringing parts in and out of solution allows filling of passages and holes when submerged, followed by draining when raised out of the solution.

For parts with very complex shapes, combinations of rotation and up and down agitation are necessary to provide solution flow to all areas of the part. The mechanical agitation may also be combined with solution agitation (turbulation) or ultrasonics to increase the mechanical energy available for cleaning. In all cases, as described in the cleaning formulation section, the solution movement provides the mechanical energy and solution exchange necessary for efficient surface cleaning and chip removal.

Features:

Short and long stroke selection (long stroke is in and out of solution)
Adjustable stroke speed (speed may be slowed to avoid damage to delicate parts and more aggressive for difficult soils)
MAGNUS agitation air cylinder has a life-time warranty
