FAQ's

What makes the Cougartron ProPlus better than other brush machines?
The ProPlus is designed to be faster, more powerful and reliable on any job.

Why is the ProPlus better than sock machines?
The Cougartron is faster and provides better accessibility to the cleaning site.

How is it better than pickling paste?
Safety is usually the first concern when considering an alternative to pickling paste, and the Cougartron's electrochemical cleaning system uses a very low concentration of cleaning acid. The steam/smoke that comes off during the cleaning process is actually 80% water vapour. Read more on electrochemical cleaning fumes here.

What's more, the Cougartron's fast, one-step cleaning passivates immediately and leaves no stains. It brings the weld back to the natural finish of the stainless, and has even been found to improve corrosion resistance after welding.

Is it faster than pickling paste?
Yes! There's no waiting around with the Cougartron. The ProPlus passivates immediately, and it works fast regardless of how dirty the weld is. 

Why is the ProPlus better than abrasives?
The electrochemical cleaning process doesn’t alter the stainless steel surface, so there is no possibility of rust, or further contamination. The ProPlus will provide a surgical level of weld clean, making it safe for food, pharmaceutical and other high purity fabrication requirements. There's also no vibration injury or metal dust, making it safer to use.
