MIDWEST AUTOMATE: A COMPLETE MAINTENANCE System FOR HANDPIECES 

Handpiece performance and longevity relies on proper maintenance, so why risk the variability of manual maintenance?

And why have staff members tied up for the amount of time it takes to clean just one handpiece when Dentsply Sirona Midwest’s Automate can reduce handling time on three by 80%? The manual method requires 30 steps to clean, lube, and expel three handpieces. The automated method requires just 13 steps for the same number of handpieces.

Automated maintenance is three times more efficient, so your staff will spend less time on maintenance and have more time for what’s really important – taking care of your patients.

DS Midwest Automate system for handpieces The Midwest Automate is a complete maintenance system designed to consistently and precisely clean, lubricate, and remove debris from up to three handpieces at a time, with reduced staff downtime. Using a system like Automate helps extend the life of handpieces, enabling them to deliver long-term, reliable, and more efficient performance. The Automate was designed to accommodate a wide range of handpieces, allowing clinicians to clean and maintain their current variety of manufacturer’s handpieces. Dentsply Sirona Midwest offers an extensive line of adapters and maintenance couplers for the Automate, providing clinicians the flexibility to use the Automate with their existing handpieces.

The Automate has a handpiece count sensor that enables the use of one, two, or three ports without compromising the consistency of the clean, lube, and expel cycles. It also has a dedicated chuck cleaning port that cleans and lubes handpiece chucking mechanisms. The port has been designed to promote easy insertion and extraction of rotary instruments.

The Automate waste containment system prevents excess oil spill, keeping the work area clean while reducing clean-up time. Disposable absorption pads catch oil and debris for easy cleanup. A rubber seal in the door limits odors and prevents spray fumes in the working area. 

Operation is easy and intuitive.

The control panel has a simple display, a bright array of system indicator lights, and one-touch start buttons. Dentsply Sirona Midwest stands by the rugged stainless-steel design for durability and low maintenance with a 3-year warranty.

When purchasing an Automate system, it comes with a supply of absorbent pads, an air tube with wall connector, a power connection, multiple couplers and adapters, Midwest Aerosol Spray, and an in-service instruction session and a continuing education program.

What you can expect from incorporating the Dentsply Sirona Midwest Automate into your practice is consistent performance, longer turbine life, simpler cleaning protocol, and ease of mind that handpieces are well cared for and processed consistently.
