Autowash Foaming Characteristics

The Seta Autowash is a benchtop unit that automatically cleans diffusers used in foam testing. It uses one or two solvents to clean the diffuser and air tube without removing any parts. The autowash has up to 10 preset washing programs and cycles solvent through the diffuser in one direction only to avoid blocking pores. Operators simply load the diffuser, select the wash cycle, and the autowash cleans and dries the diffuser unattended in under 5 minutes with no solvent exposure for the operator.
