CleanBlastPRO
Next-generation fiber optic end-face cleaning system
CleanBlastPROTM is the latest automated fiber end-face cleaning system from VIAVI Solutions. Based on the original concept from its predecessor, the CleanBlastPRO has been redesigned from the ground up to deliver all the benefits of the original CleanBlast while adding improvements where they matter most. The result is a system that component and connectivity manufacturers and integrators can easily deploy throughout their production facilities to ensure clean fiber connectors.
Equipped with an internal solvent tank, air filtration system, cleaning handset, 6-foot umbilical and an LCD
screen, CleanBlastPRO gives users an intuitive and automated fiber connector cleaning system that can be
easily deployed. Once the CleanBlastPRO is attached to an air source, the user can clean a wide variety of fiber end faces.
Key Benefits
- Ensure clean fiber end-faces for every connector type
- Streamline cleaning workflows in production environments with fast cleaning cycles
- Automate connector cleaning at the push of a button
- Remove, rather than spread or embed, loose debris from end faces
- Reduce costly consumption of cleaning materials (cloths, clickers, swabs, etc.)
- Utilizes 3M NovecTM 72DA, the industry’s most trusted and effective solvent for cleaning fiber end faces
Applications
- Optical component production environments
- Cable assembly contract manufacturing
- Optical system assembly
Key Features
- Uses a precise non-contact air-solvent-air sequence to blast and remove contamination particles
- Comprehensive selection of precision cleaning tips for most fiber connector types
- High performance air filter system
- Hassle-free solvent management
- Additional connections for secondary air tank, foot activation pedal, backplane handset extension
Streamline connector cleaning workflow with a repeatable automated process
CleanBlastPRO gives component and connector manufacturers control of the cleaning process
throughout their entire production facilities. This automated system manages the fluid and air
delivery to ensure fast and repeatable cleaning at the press of a button.
- Dedicated cleaning profiles are optimized for different connector types. Each profile delivers a series of precision air, solvent, and vacuum steps that are fine-tuned to the millisecond for optimal cleaning performance.
- CleanBlastPRO monitors the status so that you can proactively ensure it is properly maintained.
- You’re never surprised of the system’s status, so it won’t take your production line down.
Handset and Cleaning Tips
- Front facing light provides optimized visibility when inserting
- Two configurable buttons (top and bottom) to activate the light and initiate the cleaning process
- An optional extension handle is also available for use with backplane applications
- Additional connections for foot activation pedal, backplane handset extension, USB3 input for device updates
- Features a comprehensive selection of precision cleaning tips for most fiber connector types, male(patch cord), female (bulkhead), PC and APC ‒ including SC, LC, FC, ST, E2000, MPO, MPX, MT, SMA, HMFOC, SN, CS and more
- With backwards compatibility to the large selection of FCLT series tips, existing CleanBlast users can leverage their existing investment of cleaning tips

New hassle-free management features make deployment and operation easy
The CleanBlastPRO controls are intuitive so that users can easily manage their cleaning profiles and receive information and notifications to ensure system care. With multiple on-board sensors, CleanBlastPRO actively monitors the system performance, ensuring that users are proactively informed of any maintenance needs, and can properly care for the system and plan ahead without guesswork, speculation or unwanted production line downtime.
- On-board LCD screen provides key user information
for all operational and maintenance needs, including
managing cleaning profiles, refilling, gathering diagnostic
information and upgrading - Colored LED indicators inform users when system is
ready for use or in need of maintenance. - Fuel gauge indicates amount of solvent available
All interface connections on the CleanBlastPRO are standardized to accept 3rd party connectivity; including the following:
– ¼” input on the base unit (for foot-pedal activation)
– 3.5 mm input on the handset (for backplane handset extension)
– Camera mount attachments on handset (for
single-hand operation)
– Standard 12VDC/2A Power Supply
– USB3 input for device updates
- Spill-proof internal solvent tank ensures easy
transport across the room or across the globe,
even with a full solvent tank - Front-facing ports enable easy solvent refilling of the entire tank in <2 minutes
- Automatic filter drain prevents moisture from collecting in filters in humid environments
- Automatic drain valves in air-filter canisters prevent condensation in the air supply fromcontaminating the system.
- Active fluid vapor vacuum keeps fumes away from operator.
- Sealed refill system prevents external contaminants from entering the filling system. This prevents cleaning system from distributing contaminants onto the connector
- System automatically ensures sufficient refill without overfilling
Specifications
Example Usage
The CleanBlastPRO from VIAVI Solutions is a fiber optic end-face cleaning system that provides an automated cleaning process to ensure clean fiber connector end-faces at the press of a button. Ideal for fiber connectivity manufacturers, the CleanBlastPRO is equipped with a refillable internal solvent tank, intuitive LCD interface, and a handset that supports a comprehensive selection or precision cleaning tips for most fiber connector types. This video provides a demonstration of the CleanBlastPRO being used to clean simplex connectors in both patch cord and bulkhead applications.
