    CLEANLINESS MULTIPLE PROCESSES
    CATERED FOR BY STANDARD MODEL
    Mechanical cleaning features Filtration  
    • Swivelling, rotating; interval/ set cycle rotating. Diagonal positioning of parts carriers
    • Full bath, flooding and splash flooding
    • Splash flooding across entire depth of processing chamber
    • Vapor degreasing
    • Ready for upgrading with ultrasound unit
    Drying
            Condensate drying in combination
            with vacuum technology.

     

    • Continuous full-flow filtration of medium: during filling and emptying of processing chamber
    • Additional bypass filtration
    Bath Maintenance
    • Consistent high distillation performance
    • Residual distillation under vacuum with automatic oil discharge

    Filters with sealing collars and mesh sizes of 150 to 1 µm clean the entire solvent volume of each bath.

    The parts movement is adjusted for optimum cleaning, based on the actual parts geometry.
    Vapor Degreasing
    Solvent vapor condensates on the parts in the processing chamber, removing all oil and grease.
    • If implemented as the initial step in the cleaning cycle (optional), vapor degreasing keeps the bath clean. For some degreasing tasks, vapor degreasing might even do away with the second bath.
    • Heats the parts to the temperature required for fast and economical vacuum drying.
    First bath in cleaning cycle
    The solvent is pumped from the tank through filters into the processing chamber. Depending on the requirements, the parts are mechanically moved inside the chamber for more effective cleaning. The solvent is heated by solvent vapor from the vapor generator for maximum energy efficiency.
    Second bath (optional)
    Solvent from a second tank is used to rinse the parts to remove brass chips, grinding dust residue, polishing paste and similar contaminants. This process might be omitted, if no such particles are present on the parts. Alternatively, the second bath can be used as a preservation bath (optional, with switching option).

    Ultrasound unit (optional)

    • Push-pull oscillator for efficient ultrasound transfer to medium
    • Enhances the efficiency of the vacuum technology
    • Parts are moved during treatment for best cleaning results

    Optimized position of oscillator for maximum mechanical effect.
    The bottom line --- your advantages    
    The required technical cleanliness is achieved by means of standard cleaning programs or user-defined programs. At the PERO Technology Center, the most cost-effective cleaning method (parts geometry and contamination) is determined. The high-performance vapor generator automatically disposes of all residual. Clever energy-saving technology and heat recovery are standard.

    Disposal
    Thanks to continuous distillation, a sufficient quantity of clean medium is always available in the machine. Oil and other contaminants that are not eliminated by filtration are removed from the solvent through residual distillation. The distillation sludge is extracted through gas-tight pipes to a drum for disposal.
     

    Test Run
    Prior to shipping your cleaning machine, PERO carries out extensive wet test runs of the filled and fully heated unit. During the test runs, the emission values are measured. We also check whether your parts carriers can be properly used in the machine and optimize the processes accordingly. On request, we even test the machine with the dirty parts you wish to process.
