The new Unkai Protein Skimmer Neck Cleaner is the first design innovation we’ve seen in this product category in quite a number of years. Way back in 2010 Deltec introduced themanual neck cleanerwhich was integrated into the lid of their skimmer, and this space has been fallow ever since.
Perfect Reef Systems, also known as PRS Japan has a history of really thinking outside the box with the市场上的第一个流量计,Automatic Zeovit reactor和more recently with their beast of a skimmer, the hyper-engineeredUnkai protein skimmer。PRS日本不满足于将任何旧颈部清洁装置放在其杰作上，而是开发了Unkai螺旋颈清洁剂。
As the name implies, instead of using squeegee blades to simply wipe down skimmate from the neck of the protein skimmer, PRS developed a 3D squeegee with a helical shape. When spinning in the right direction the angled, spiral wiper blades help to keep the neck clean,和to bring up the wastes into the skimmer cup.
同时,大多数回收船脖子继续教育aners either run 24/7 – affecting skimming performance – or have to be plugged into an external timer, PRS has also developed their own timer to set the period and frequency of cleaning cycles. So far it seems that the spiral neck cleaner is only designed for use with the Unkai protein skimmer but hopefully we can see this innovation become compatible with many more protein skimmer models.
