Modern solvent cleaning systems are advanced vacuum systems that enable fully automated, safe, and efficient cleaning of components – especially in demanding industries such as automotive, aerospace, or medical technology. They operate in closed loops, allowing solvents such as modified alcohols, hydrocarbons, or perchloroethylene to be used safely and continuously recycled.
The systems are flexibly configurable and can be adapted to different component geometries, levels of contamination, and process requirements. Typical cleaning steps such as flood washing, vapor degreasing, ultrasonic cleaning, and drying run fully automatically – controlled via PLCs or industrial PCs with process monitoring and documentation.
A special feature of modern systems is the automatic preservation process, which can be carried out at the end of the cleaning cycle. A corrosion protection agent is applied to the cleaned components – either by spraying, flooding, or vapor injection. This ensures that the parts are immediately protected against environmental influences after cleaning and can be safely stored or transported without the need for manual post-treatment.
This integrated preservation saves time, reduces potential sources of error, and increases process safety – especially for components that are not processed immediately. The combination of cleaning and preservation in a single system makes modern solvent cleaning systems an important part of efficient manufacturing processes.
