Our Managing Director Andreas Fritz spent a few days with our partner SAMT in China in November. They had organized a customer day in Hangzhou on the subject of “Cleaning gears and bearings”. Andreas Fritz presented the products of the Surface Alliance and their possibilities to have systems manufactured locally at SAMT. This was followed by several more customer visits to discuss current projects. It is always an advantage to be able to maintain contacts personally on site. Proximity to our customers is important to us.
At the anniversary conference on industrial component cleaning from 11 to 12 September 2024 in Dresden, our colleague Markus Mitschele gave a presentation on solvent cleaning through the ages – worldwide. He was supported by Michael Onken, SAFECHEM. The two speakers outlined the developments from the open TRI tank to the closed vacuum system and shed light on how solvent cleaning has adapted to changing conditions.
At the subsequent general meeting of the Industrial Parts Cleaning Association, Markus Mitschele gave an overview of the activities of the Process and Plant Technology Committee, which he chairs. Many companies are involved in the committee, so much has been achieved in recent months and some guidelines are about to be finalised.
Our customer Mountop Precision in Taiwan is a well-known manufacturer of rotary valves for a wide range of applications. We are delighted that they have decided in favour of a cleaning system from HEMO for the construction of a new hardening shop at their Taichung City site. By expanding its capacity, Mountop can clean its own components to the best possible quality before and after heat treatment and utilise the surplus capacity for contract cleaning and heat treatment – there are no limits to the flexibility of our cleaning system.
Last year, we expanded an existing system at Wilkinson Sword in Solingen with an automation system with an accumulation section and connection to an automated guided vehicle system (AGV). The AGV, which transports goods between the various production areas throughout the company, was realised by the customer. Sick AG, another partner involved in this project, has published a film in which you can see our system and conveyor technology in action. See for yourself.

The 16th meeting of the AWT Technical Committee 14 “Parts Cleaning” took place on 21 March. The event was designed as a hybrid event to enable as many people as possible to attend. To ensure the optimum quality of such events, we invested in equipment for the conference room, including a Microsoft Surface Hub and a corresponding remodelling of the premises.
Cooperation and dialogue with experts in specialist committees has long been important to us. You can get further together than on your own.
We would like to thank all participants for their commitment and look forward to the next meeting.
Since January we have an additional location. As our previous capacities are exhausted, we have rented a hall with an area of 500 m² in Oberderdingen. The distance to our headquarters in Ötisheim is very manageable at just 15 kilometres. We are pleased to have enough space again to fulfil our diverse customer orders and to be able to react even faster.
Our employee Markus Mitschele, responsible for project planning and sales, was on site as a speaker at the fully booked basic seminar on quality assurance in parts cleaning in Heilbronn with 47 participants and informed the participants about the basics of industrial parts cleaning. In addition to the presentation of different wet chemical cleaning processes, common system concepts and their areas of application were highlighted. This was followed by a practical session in the afternoon to exercise putting the information presented into practice.
