Lipsner-Smith‘s Time Proven Design Continues to be Further Developed to Produce the New CF9200. New Solvent Reclaimation Design Provides Drastically Reduced Operating Costs and Many Additional Benefits:

Now Get Up To 50% More Feet of Film Cleaned Per Each Gallon of Fluid
A new chiller replaces the older compressor-type refrigeration system and provides greatly enhanced solvent recovery over previous models. You will save tens of thousands of dollars on cleaning fluid costs. Reduced Maintenance and Repair Costs. The new CF9200 design is simpler and more trouble-free. In addition, there is a 2 year warranty on the chiller.

The CF9200 incorporates the latest generation of powerful ultrasonic generator which is user adjustable — an industry first!
Operates at a higher frequency of 40 KHz and produces more cleaning power with 50% more ultrasonic transducers. More powerful cleaning action with the same important film safety built in.

Adjustable Buffer System Improves Cleaning Performance
This new enhancement to Lipsner-Smith film cleaning technology has been proven to substantially improve solvent cleaning performance. The user can now increase or decrease buffer pressure to suit particular requirements or individual types of cleaning work.

In addition, the new CF9200 incorporates a multi-cartridge solvent filtering system, stainless steel solvent and vapor lines, and refined cabinet and door sealing to reduce vapor loss and decrease running costs.

Whisper-Quiet Operation
The newly re-engineered CF9200 replaces the noisy refrigeration compressor for solvent recovery with a sealed chiller system that is quiet and vibration-free. Now the finest film cleaning system is suitable for use in noise-sensitive office environments as well as in film labs and archives.

Clean Film Without Perchloroethylene
Lipsner-Smith has designed the CF-9200 Film Cleaning System to allow use of one of the world’s most advanced cleaning liquids, 3M Novec Engineered Fluid HFE-8200.

HFE-8200 has many properties that make it ideal for use with motion picture film.

The new CF9200 has been especially designed for use with HFE-8200. Together they achieve dramatically improved solvent performance and enhanced cleaning ability. As a result, you realize safe, cost effective and high performance cleaning, without the handling issues of chlorinated solvents. HFE-8200 and the CF9200 improved cleaning machine design allows a top speed of 240 fpm (66m/min), more than double the speed of previous perchloroethylene based models.

Upgrade Your Existing Lipsner-Smith Film Cleaning Machine
Because of it‘s unique properties, it is not practical to use Novec HFE-8200 in film cleaning machines designed for chlorinated solvents. There may be material incompatibilities, inadequate ultrasonic and cleaning arrangements and unnecessary levels of solvent losses.

However, certain existing Lipsner-Smith Film Cleaning Machines are candidates for upgrading and retrofitting to work with HFE-8200.
