Pro-Ject Audio Systems announces the release of a new, extremely powerful, wet record cleaning machine that removes dirt and dust from your valuable vinyl.

Pro-Ject say that the new record cleaning machine is super powerful and cleans a record in 1 to 2 rotations with the best results come from 1 turn forward, 1 turn backward. It turns the record very fast (2 seconds per rotation) “about 3 times faster than other cleaning machines do”. 

Features

• A robust easy-to-use metal arm with mechanically stable fixing that doesn´t use springs.
• A new type of clamp protects the record label from the cleaning fluid and avoids damage of the label. Because the record does not touch the platter, it will not have direct contact with dirty surfaces.
• A big container (2.5 litre) for used fluid which shows fill capacity and guarantees no spillage of used cleaning fluid. Discharging used fluid is extremely easy.
• Newly developed vinyl cleaning concentrate ´Wash it´ for vinyl and ´Wash it 78´ for shellac records.´ Note: ´Wash it´ is optimised for cleaning standard vinyl records. It is not usable with 78 rpm shellacs. For shellacs, Pro-Ject offer the optional special fluid ´Wash it 78´.

Conventional cleaning machines consist of the rotational platter (we do not have one) and vacuum arm with a vacuum cleaner motor. The record can rotate very fast in both directions. Cleaning liquid is applied to the record and consequently spread out by brush. Then the cleaning liquid with all the dissolved impurities is evacuated by the vacuum arm. The vacuum arm is connected to an air/water separator tank. This tank protects the vacuum cleaner motor against the residue of the cleaning liquid and dry air is blown out. The vacuum arm is equipped with two brushes which are self adhesively stacked beside the groove in the vacuum arm. When vacuum suction is applied, the record attaches to these brushes.
