Hybrid cleaning system – Two processes, one goal: perfect cleanliness

Modern cleaning systems in industrial parts cleaning increasingly rely on combined media handling to meet the highest cleanliness standards while maintaining high efficiency. Hybrid systems and BEYOND systems differ fundamentally in their process strategies.

In hybrid systems, solvents and aqueous media are operated separately in two independent circuits. Cleaning takes place in multiple steps: first, organic residues such as oils and greases are removed using solvents, followed by an aqueous cleaning step to eliminate inorganic contaminants like salts or particles. This separation allows for targeted media selection and process optimization but is associated with longer cycle times, as the media must be applied sequentially.

BEYOND systems, on the other hand, follow an innovative approach: here, solvents and water are used simultaneously within the same cleaning chamber. This parallel media handling allows both organic and inorganic residues to be removed in a single process step, significantly shortening batch times and increasing efficiency. The process is further enhanced by CNP technology (Cyclic Nucleation Process), which deliberately generates cavitation to remove even the finest contaminants from complex geometries—gentle on materials yet highly effective.

These systems are modular, highly automated, and particularly suitable for cleaning hybrid components, sensitive materials, and applications with the highest cleanliness requirements, such as medical technology, optics, semiconductor manufacturing, or aerospace. They combine maximum cleaning performance, short cycle times, and high process reliability in a single system.
