MACH 2024: A clean sweep from Ecoclean

As an essential step in manufacturing processes, parts cleaning significantly contributes to high product quality and adds considerable value. Also, almost all industrial sectors are confronted with more stringent particulate and film-type cleanliness specifications.

At MACH in Birmingham, Ecoclean will provide information about its product portfolio, which is optimally tailored to fulfil a broad range of cleaning applications with high cleanliness requirements. By way of example, an advanced EcoCwave machine will be shown live on the company’s stand to illustrate the various features and process options.

Regardless of industry sector, parts cleaning is one of the critical processes in manufacturing today. Due to increasing demands on component performance and reliability, new products, changing manufacturing processes, coating and bonding technologies as well as modified materials, the requirements for particulate and film-like cleanliness are constantly rising.

This is particularly true in high tech sectors such as the semiconductor supply industry, medical device engineering, aviation and aerospace, optical and optoelectronic as well as vacuum, laser and analysis technologies.

In order to solve these challenging cleaning tasks in a needs-based, efficient and sustainable manner, not only is comprehensive technological know-how required, but also knowledge of applications and respective physical relationships.

As a full-range supplier of future-orientated, flexible, and energy-efficient solutions for industrial component cleaning, Ecoclean and UCM, the Group's division specialising in precision and ultra-fine cleaning, have both and cover the entire spectrum of wet-chemical processes using water-based media, solvents and modified alcohols.

This means that cleaning processes and systems, such as injection flood washing, spray cleaning, high-pressure, immersion, ultrasonic, megasonic and plasma cleaning, as well as Ultrasonic Plus or Pulsated Pressure Cleaning (PPC) and drying techniques for both batch and individual part cleaning, can be efficiently tailored to specific requirements.

Machine and process design is carried out in the company's own test centres which include cleanrooms as well as adapted plant and measuring technology available for tasks in medical technology and for high-purity applications.

At MACH, Ecoclean will exhibit its broad range of adapted system concepts for batch and single parts cleaning with aqueous media and environmentally compatible solvents, as well as matching high-purity equipment packages.

The latter will be demonstrated on the advanced EcoCwave for immersion and spraying processes with water-based cleaning agents. The system technology, media routing, media preparation and design of this full-vacuum single-chamber system have been specially adapted for high-end cleaning applications. Thus, it is capable of achieving consistent results that meet highest requirements, even if it concerns geometrically complex components. Process options that can be combined in almost any way, such as high-pressure spray cleaning, ultrasonic, plasma cleaning, as well as PPC, contribute to this.

Forward-looking service solutions will be another feature on Ecoclean’s stand. These include an iOS and Android compatible service app for maintenance and repair requirements, tailored service and maintenance concepts, developments regarding the digitisation of cleaning processes, options for modernising and adapting systems, as well as training programs for customer employees.
