Utilising its new DPH430-4 Digital Printhead Cleaning System, Alphasonics, manufacturer of ultrasonic cleaning systems, has launched a digital print head cleaning service.
By using advanced ultrasonics and Nano-Surge technology, the company claims the DPH430-4 Digital Printhead Cleaning System has set a new standard in printhead cleaning.
Developed for digital printing applications across all sectors, the DPH430-4 is engineered to remove microscopic contamination while safeguarding sensitive nozzle plates, internal channels and piezo structures.
According to the company, by combining advanced ultrasonic technology with a newly developed nano-chemical cycle, the system achieves levels of consistent cleanliness not possible through mechanical or chemical processes alone.
The Nano-Surge technology operates at a microscopic level, enabling chemical penetration into tight geometries. When precisely integrated with controlled ultrasonic energy, the result is thorough cleaning of complex digital printhead assemblies.
David Jones, managing director at Alphasonics, commented: “The addition of Nano chemistry allows us to achieve contamination removal through controlled chemical action rather than mechanical agitation alone. When integrated with our ultra-safe Alphasound Technology, the result is a balanced cleaning process designed specifically for high-value digital printheads. We are confident the DPH430-4 will redefine expectations in printhead maintenance while delivering significant cost savings for printers.”
Digital printheads represent a major capital investment for print operations and improper cleaning methods can compromise nozzle geometry, internal alignment and long-term reliability. In many environments, traditional cleaning methods fall short, leaving premature replacement as the only option — resulting in unnecessary expense and operational disruption. The DPH430-4 has been engineered to safely clean sensitive nozzles, ink channels and internal components without compromising structural integrity — protecting press capital expenditure while enhancing print quality and production continuity.
