System Features

The 2000 Advanced Modular Disk Cleaning System uses a modular design that is configurable for all substrate or media applications.

  • Utilizes our patented Cascade Scrubber module.
  • 430kHz to 2MHz frequency options.
  • 2000, 2400, or 3600 watts per tank.
  • High tank turnover capability.
  • Configurable for 3.5" to 1.8” form factors.
Cassetteless Handling System

The 2000 uses an advanced cassetteless handling system that minimizes disk contact. As cassettes are fed into the cassette cleaning module, the disks are removed and are progressed through the system independently of their cassettes.

Cassettes are cleaned using Multi-Frequency Ultrasonics and a Hot DI dryer, then are transferred via an isolated class 10 conveyor system to the dryer module where they are reunited with cleaned disks.

Ultrasonics / Megasonics

The 2000 is available with both Multi-Frequency Ultrasonics and High-Frequency Megasonics rinsing modules. Each module uses individual 4-sided overflow tanks that are available in stainless, PFA, and quartz, with optional quick-dump-rinse (QDR) capability.

High-flow, low turbulence, heated recirculation systems combined with minimum-volume, high-watt-density tanks translates into increased yields and lower rejection rates.

Cascade Scrubber

Our patented Cascade Scrubber module individually scrubs disks while rotating and translating to progressively cleaner brushes. This results in precision double-sided cleaning, including the ID and OD, without the contamination that can occur with older designs that allow dirty fluids to fall down on to clean disks.

  • Maximizes scrub time.
  • Integrated soap dispense.
  • Controlled environment.
  • High throughput.
Hot DI Vapor Dryer

Our patented Hot DI Vapor Dryer module uses advanced particle-neutral technology and an ultra-clean environment to thoroughly dry disks without leaving any contamination behind.

The Hot DI Vapor Dryer module is compatible with metal or glass substrates, and is configurable as Hot DI, Hot DI with IPA Assist, or Ambient DI with IPA Assist.
