Vacuum Solvent Cleaning machines
99% Recovery of material waste, reduction of management costs, high economic benefits, sustainability and innovation
Used mainly with modified alcohols. Benefits of the machines are:
- Minimal loss of solvent significantly reducing process cost and environmental impact
- Distillation, separation, and filtration of contaminants allows oils to be reused in machining processes and swarf/particles to be reused or economically disposed of.
- Uses modified alcohols with a flash point of more than 60°C under vacuum, so machines do not have to be manufactured to ATEX approved rates, reducing build cost.
- Ethernet connection providing online diagnosis of technical issues and predictive maintenance.
- Cleans component areas that are hard to reach with Aqueous/HFE solvents, including blind holes and tubes
The latest generation KP modified alcohol washing machines, operate in a complete vacuum treatment cycle in all phases, ensuring excellent cleaning of finished products from wastage and oily substances, without releasing harmful substances into the environment. The systems use a combination of spray, basket rotation, aqueous cleaning, modified alcohols hydrocarbons, hydrocarbons HFE and ultrasounds.
All KP products guarantee a drastic reduction in consumption by halving the processing cycles thus obtaining a perfect degree of cleaning thanks to the essential contribution made by the integrated ultrasound system and the use of “universal” washing liquids with low environmental impact. The washing cycle may vary according to the pieces to be treated thanks to the supplied software equipped with a microchip which allows the system to manage multiple loading stations with relative washing and finishing cycles.
The machines allow you to work with all types of materials including AVP, AVZ, PR 80, 16CrNi4, 16Cr- Ni4Pb, 18CrMo5, 42CrMS4, Aluminium 11s, Brass, Stainless steel Aisi 303, ETG 88, ETG 100. In addition to the most common materials, PVC, Teflon, Ergal, as well as other alloys of copper, bronze, and cast-iron steels.
The ideal applications are recommended according to the quantities to be treated, the quantity of contamination, the size of the semi-finished products. Kleen Power Technology is appreciated in the fields of precision mechanics, automotive, heat treatment, oleodynamic components, springs, moulded components, fashion accessories, jewelry, watches, components for furniture, medical, dental, cookware, cutlery, and electronics.
Full vacuum functioning - continuous filtration of washing liquid - continuous distillation continuous monitoring of operation conditions - Easy access for maintenance
Complete stainless steel construction - vacuum holding systems - spraying pumps –Vacuum pumps - Cryogenic abatement system - Chip filter - Double washing liquid tank - Touch screen operating panel - Remote assistance via Internet
Ultrasound transducers (up to five transducers per system, where it is necessary to remove obstinate material, such as polishing paste made more resistant by cooking and drying, in this case, the hot detergent alone is not enough.) - Additional filtrations
Energy Saving & Low Operating Costs
Distillation and the continuous filtration of modified alcohols and hydrocarbons used for washing and for the finishing of metal components that need treatment, with the aid of filters that allow the complete separation of the emulsions from the water with continuous automatic discharge, allows the total recovery of the dried and deodorised metal fillings already in the filter, and the recovery of 99% of the emulsifying oils present in the product that needs treatment.
The reuse of perfectly clean metal scraps and emulsifying oils, both recovered during the washing cycles of the washing machines, are put back in the production chain with remarkable economic advantages for the company and ecological for the environment including the working one, thus corresponding to the virtuous circular economic model.
Manual or Automatic Loading Platforms*
The cleaning machines can be equipped with manual loading platform with roller conveyor which allows coplanar movement that facilitates the manual loading and unloading.
Certain models can be equipped with an automatic tray and lid which allows greater control in the movement of the baskets during the washing cycles. All automation operations connected to the functions of the washing machine, are controlled by the management software specifically programmed by the technical office.
