How many pounds of pressure does the unit produce?
Being a pneumatic appliance, some people ask: “What is the psi?” or “How many pounds of pressure?” Although psi is a factor in the equipment’s design and performance, it is truly an irrelevant question that will not provide a reader or user with valid information. There are many factors that contribute to the efficacy or performance of the system – orifice size providing air flow, volume of air, lubricity of water, abrasivity of the dental cleaner, the mass of the substrates, the hydrophobic or hydrophilic nature of the dental cleaner, particle size, particle shape, distance from surface being struck, shape of the spray emitting from orifice (fanned or focused), as well as other factors. The compressed air is generated by a high tolerance piston compressor. The dental device uses a high and low pressure system. The low pressure system enters the cleaner cup and propels the cleaner slurry out of the cup into the tip. The slurry then joins the high pressure system at the point of the tip
