Process Technology

The technical configuration and equipment of a cleaning unit is determined by the chosen cleaning process.

Cleaning methods

Units with1-, 2-, 3- or more baths allow for combination of various cleaning steps within a single unit.

Basic cleaning units

Cleaning in bath 1 – at atmospheric pressure, with aqueous medium

  • Cleaning of machined parts (after turning, milling, drilling, etc.).
  • Particularly suitable for the removal of graphite, AW and EP additives, salts, soaps, and emulsion residue. Generally suitable for the removal of dust, metal chips, surfactants, stearates and polishing paste.
  • Preparation of parts for downstream processing such as joining (by clinching, etc.), assembly and packaging.

Cleaning in bath 1 – under vacuum, with solvent

  • Cleaning of machined parts (after turning, milling, drilling, etc.).
  • Particularly suitable for the removal of grease, oil, wax, resins, corrosion protection agents and esters.
  • Generally suitable for the removal of dust, metal chips, surfactants, stearates and polishing paste.
  • Preparation of parts for downstream processing such as joining (by clinching, etc.), assembly and packaging.

Rinsing in bath 2

  • Cleaning of machined parts after turning, milling or drilling, grinding, polishing, lapping and honing, punching and forming (stamping & bending, deep drawing, extruding, etc.).
  • Particularly suitable for the removal of fine particles such as graphite, AW and EP additives, salts, soaps, and emulsion residue.
  • Generally suitable for the removal of dust, metal chips, surfactants, stearates and polishing paste.
  • Preparation of parts for downstream processing such as joining (by clinching, welding, etc.), assembly, coating, gluing and packaging.

Preservation in bath 2

  • Cleaning of machined parts (after turning, milling, drilling, etc.).
  • Particularly suitable for the removal of graphite, AW and EP additives, salts, soaps, and emulsion residue.
  • Generally suitable for the removal of dust, metal chips, surfactants, stearates and polishing paste.
  • Preparation of parts for downstream processing such as joining (by clinching, etc.), assembly and packaging.
  • After cleaning, the parts are treated with a preservation agent for extra protection during storage.

Preservation in bath 3

  • Cleaning of machined parts after turning, milling or drilling, grinding, polishing, lapping and honing, punching and forming (stamping & bending, deep drawing, extruding, etc.).
  • Particularly suitable for the removal of fine particles such as graphite, AW and EP additives, salts, soaps, and emulsion residue.
  • Generally suitable for the removal of dust, metal chips, surfactants, stearates and polishing paste.
  • Preparation of parts for downstream processing such as joining (by clinching, welding, etc.), assembly, coating, gluing and packaging.
  • After cleaning, the parts are treated with a preservation agent for extra protection during storage.
  • By using two processing chambers, the cleaning and drying processes are separated, so that two batches can be processed at a the same time.
