Lavamin

Fully automatic specimen cleaning machine, ensuring residue-free specimen surfaces after grinding and polishing to improve the quality of subsequent microscopy analysis.

The Lavamin is Struers' fully automatic cleaning machine designed specifically for post-preparation cleaning of metallographic specimens. Abrasive particles, polishing suspensions, and contaminants left behind after grinding and polishing directly affect the accuracy of microscopy observation and analysis results if not thoroughly removed. Through programmed ultrasonic cleaning and drying cycles, the Lavamin ensures every specimen achieves the highest cleanliness standard before entering the next preparation step or microscopy analysis.

Key Features

  • Fully automatic ultrasonic cleaning — thoroughly removes residual abrasives and polishing suspension
  • Programmed cleaning cycles — multiple stored parameter sets with quick switching
  • Automatic drying function — cleaned specimens ready directly for analysis
  • Compatible with Struers standard specimen holders — integrates with preparation workflow
  • Intuitive interface — fully automated cleaning process
  • Low water consumption design — reduces cleaning fluid usage

Applications

  • Standardised post-grinding/polishing cleaning for metallographic specimens
  • High-cleanliness specimen preparation before SEM/EBSD analysis
  • Automated batch specimen cleaning to improve laboratory efficiency
  • Contamination-free cleaning of precision electronic component cross-section specimens
  • Integration with Xmatic fully automatic preparation system
