Water jet cleaning
Contamination of parts or components of machines, equipment, or production lines is an inevitable part of almost every manufacturing process. Since the cleanliness of individual elements largely determines the quality and durability of the final product, the washing stage is a critical part of production. In industrial applications, various cleaning techniques are used, selected based on the type of surface and the nature of the contamination.
Industrial parts cleaning is a critical process that impacts the high quality and safety of finished products. After the production process, parts may have residual contaminants such as machining fluids, oils, metal chips, dust, and many other similar impurities that can jeopardize their functionality and performance. All of the aforementioned contaminants must be removed not only at the end of the production process but also frequently during it, before subsequent processing stages. This can involve traditional cleaning, as well as passivation or other anti-corrosion protection.
Industrial cleaning – principle of operation
Post-production and inter-process industrial washing involves the use of specialized equipment and cleaning fluids to thoroughly clean parts and tools. The washing process and the detergents used will depend on the type of components being cleaned and the contaminants that need to be removed. Among the most popular industrial washing methods are:
- Water washing
- Solvent cleaning
- Ultrasonic cleaning
- Spray cleaning
- Immersion cleaning
- Jet stream cleaning
Industrial Washing – Applications
Industrial washing has a broad range of applications across various industry sectors, including automotive, aerospace, medical devices, electronics, and many others. Examples of industrial washing applications include:
In the automotive industry, industrial washing is used to clean parts such as engine components, transmissions, bearings, and brake pads. This helps remove contaminants like oil, grease, and metal shavings that can affect the performance and reliability of the parts.
Industrial washing is used in the aerospace industry to clean parts such as turbine blades, fuel injectors, and hydraulic components. This is essential for maintaining the safety and reliability of aircraft components, as even the smallest amount of contamination can have a significant impact on the safety and performance of the equipment.
In the medical device industry, industrial washers are used to clean components such as surgical instruments, implants, and prosthetics. This is crucial for preventing the spread of infections and ensuring patient safety.
Water Washing
Water washing is one of the most commonly used methods. It utilizes aqueous cleaning solutions, which are safer and more environmentally friendly compared to solvent-based cleaning methods. Another popular method is ultrasonic cleaning, which involves the use of high-frequency sound waves to agitate the cleaning solution, allowing it to penetrate even the tiniest crevices and remove contaminants. Various types of washers are employed, and when combined with appropriately selected detergents, they allow the process to be tailored to the complexity of the parts, the type of existing contamination, and the batch size.
