LEVAR Amano Record Cleaning Machine

Compact in size - strong in performance. On this basis, we have developed this single-sided record washing machine, which already includes all the essential features of the large Unica and Twin models. This machine, which is produced in Germany, is also characterized by low noise development and strong suction as well as great robustness and durability. The proven microfiber technology is also used in the AMANO. Apart from the microfiber strips , there are no wearing parts. The cleaning is done on one side, the individual cleaning agent application is done manually in seconds. The cleaning performance is excellent and can also be operated individually.The LEVAR AMANO offers a very good price / performance ratio for users who want to use a professional machine without compromising on quality.

The philosophy of the LEVAR brand

Our record cleaning machines stands for professional vinyl cleaning, intuitive operation, best cleaning results and high suction performance in the drying process. The result is a clean, absolutely dry and immediately playable record. Nowadays it is expected that the record can be placed and played back immediately after the cleaning process.

Production & Quality - Made in Germany

The high manufacturing quality of the machines and the longevity of the components are exemplary. Our LEVAR models only differ in terms of ease of use and equipment. We offer a suitable model for every user type and price range to make it easier to enter the "world of washing".
 
LEVAR machines are designed in such a way that they do not require regular wearing parts. There are no consumables such as brushes, rollers, O-rings, wheels, wipers and much more. Only the microfibre strips should be changed routinely, of course. And the optics? "Form follows function" was the basic requirement and makes the machines compatible with living rooms.

Development & many years of experience

The development of the LEVAR cleaning concept and the resulting models is based on the many years of experience of MHW AUDIO GmbH and the wishes of thousands of RCM owners. Already for 2 decades we are specialist for vinyl cleaning and trade partner of nearly all brands. Against the background that we ourselves are passionate vinyl listeners and collectors, our own machine series is a long-cherished need to meet our own demands for form, cleanliness and function.
 
A record washing machine should generally be "simple but solid". Electronic "gimmicks" or "fixed preset programs" have proven to be unreliable or unnecessary in our twenty years of experience with customer requests and the "real" washing routine.

 
Error susceptibility or a lack of individual adaptability of the machine to the "actual" degree of soiling of a record is something we often hear. We have followed the "easy wash & dry" concept from the very beginning and the success of our cleaning concept confirms this every day.

The three-stage LEVAR cleaning Concept

With a few intuitive steps to a clean, dry and playable record: Gentle, time-saving, quiet and thorough. From our many years of experience, this always includes three decisive parameters, which we defined precisely during the development of the machines: What is needed is a powerful cleaner that is capable of dissolving or loosening the majority of dirt deposits. It requires a groovable medium which is able to loosen and push away those dirt particles which cannot be loosened by a cleaning agent alone. A quick and powerful suction is required to remove the dirty water and the dirt particles dissolved in it from the plate. And this in the interests of the user as quietly and quietly as possible.

First cleaning stage - The effective cleaner

A high quality cleaner for the adhesion and detachment of dirt residues such as: dusts, microparticles, greases, release agent residues, wet driving residues, traces of use. All these external influences combine and/or "bake" into the groove. These residues are the main causes of crackling and cracking. A routine basic cleaning with every vinyl purchase is therefore highly recommended. This applies to both brand-new records and used vinyl. The LEVAR models are characterized by a low consumption of cleaning agents during operation. The cleaner can be dosed individually (depending on the degree of soiling).

Second cleaning stage - Grooved microfibre strips

Our special microfibre technology has the ability to penetrate deep into the groove and flank and gently remove the dirt. During this phase the important interaction between cleaner and mechanics takes place. One cleaner alone cannot lead "without brush" to the desired result and the brush alone cannot gently remove the dirt "without" one cleaner.
 
With our technology, the microfibre strips run permanently "in and through the detergent bath" and pass carefully, continuously and well-watered over adherences - without scraping them off by force or scratching the surfaces.
 
The particles dissolved in this way are removed from the microfibre strips "as gently as possible". A decisive difference to "common" brush concepts made of plastic with too thick fibres, which usually do not reach the groove or the bottom of the groove.

Third cleaning stage - suction & drying process

Low-noise, fast and powerful extraction! Drying by extracting the dirty water is fast, quiet and low-noise. The liquid is sucked off completely. The label (sticker on the plate) remains absolutely dry. Manual post-drying, as known from other machine concepts, is no longer necessary.
 
The vinyl can be placed directly after the cleaning process and played back or archived. Another aspect that makes a comfort machine. Also the choice of the individual cleaning & suction time as well as the dosage of the detergent quantity. The user should be able to determine these parameters individually.
 
A vinyl record, "considered on its own", is always contaminated in different ways.
 
The records take the cleaner differently strongly. A long washing time (which often works wonders) may require repeated rinsing. Wet running residues, release agent residues, caking and traces of long-term use or soiling of flea market items or heavily used panels, all this - individually and in combination - requires an individual cleaning time and quantity of cleaner in order to achieve the optimum result. In this case, pre-defined programs or technical gimmicks are of little help.

Conclusion of the defined 3 cleaning stages:

The LEVAR 3-step program is mandatory for optimum washing results. Numerous test series confirm this. Usual brushes or brush machines often only fulfil 1 to 2 of the listed points or simply miss a lot - e.g. a non-existent groovability due to too "wide" plastic or nylon fibre brushes (these cannot physically reach the groove base), no or a too weakly acting cleaner or harmful household remedies from the car, optician or window cleaning sector which are not adapted to vinyl, or homemade cocktails made from dishwashing detergents, etc., Often a wet label due to missing total label coverage or faulty technical concepts (manual post-drying with a cloth required) and air drying, i.e. no extraction with plastic tub devices with hand crank and without the possibility of a real "reaction time".
