Our hermetic circuit solvent cleaning systems are able to carry out the washing and drying treatment completely under vacuum. We use solvents of alcohol derivative (modified alcohols or better alchopropanol), which have a degreasing power, similar to chlorinated solvents, which are specifically used when the demand calls for a strong degreasing phase, certainly superior to hydrocarbons (similar in chemical-physical characteristics but different in their management). Basically they offer low toxicity and eco-toxicity, they evaporate completely without leaving residues on the pieces. They are non-corrosive and are able to remove water from metal surfaces, which is very important compared to chlorinated solvents, they do not require the use of stabilizers.
The construction with high thickness AISI 304 stainless steel (DIN AISI 1.403) (not like the off-line of laundry machines) allows us to reach high vacuum rates to avoid stressing the solvent and also allows the pieces to dry very quickly. The whole plant cycle; spray stage, immersion with or without ultrasound, solvent vapors and drying, takes place under vacuum, this guarantees the hermetic seal of the plant. Each washing stage is carried out with a clean solvent, in fact, each system is equipped with a double distiller that guarantees solvent is always ready and clean, even for short cycle times. This turns into a continuous washing process and a high consistent washing quality. Vacuum drying prevents airborne particles from contaminating the cleaned parts inside the process chamber in a hermetically sealed environment, therefore extremely clean, since the chamber is also “washed” with each work cycle.
