Our Approach
The cleaning system and cleaning medium must be optimally matched to achieve the desired cleaning results and process efficiency.
We are not tied to any particular manufacturer or supplier. Instead, we identify the solution that is technically and economically best suited to your application.
Water-Based Cleaning Media
In Practice:
Water-based cleaning media consist of water combined with chemical additives.
They are widely used in industrial cleaning applications and are particularly effective for removing particles, emulsions, and certain types of contamination.
Typical Characteristics:
- Broad range of applications
- Easily combined with mechanical cleaning methods such as spray cleaning or ultrasonic cleaning
- Commonly used in high-volume and serial production processes
Solvent-Based Cleaning Media
In Practice:
Solvent-based cleaning media are primarily used for the removal of oils, greases, and other demanding contaminants.
Typical Characteristics:
- Excellent degreasing performance
- Suitable for complex geometries and hard-to-reach areas
- Often used in compact, enclosed cleaning systems
Selecting the Right Cleaning Medium
Choosing the right cleaning medium depends on a variety of factors, including:
Component geometry
Type of contamination
Required cleanliness standards
Downstream manufacturing processes
Type of cleaning system
In many applications, both water-based and solvent-based cleaning processes may be viable options, each with its own advantages and limitations.
Common Selection Mistakes
In practice, it is common to encounter situations where:
A cleaning medium is selected that is not ideally suited to the contamination
The interaction between the cleaning system and the cleaning medium is not sufficiently considered
Decisions are oversimplified by focusing solely on water-based versus solvent-based cleaning
This can result in inadequate cleaning performance or unnecessarily high operating costs.
Our Approach
We do not evaluate cleaning media in isolation. Instead, we consider them as part of the overall cleaning process.
This includes:
Selecting the most suitable cleaning medium
Matching the medium with the appropriate cleaning technology
Considering filtration and media treatment requirements
Integrating the solution into the overall production process
To validate the cleaning performance, we conduct cleaning trials in most cases. This applies even when the preferred solution appears obvious at first glance, ensuring that the chosen process delivers reliable and reproducible results under real operating conditions.
More Than Just the Cleaning Medium
If required, we support you not only in selecting the right cleaning medium, but also in designing and optimizing the entire cleaning process.
We combine:
Cleaning System
Cleaning Medium
Accessories & Peripheral Equipment
to create a solution that is both technically effective and economically optimized.
