Cold-cleaning parts cleaner Hakupur A 934 from Kluthe saves energy costs
Efficiently save energy by using a cold-cleaning parts cleaner: Hakupur A 934 from Chemische Werke Kluthe cleans workpieces between 20 and 40°C in the automotive industry, for example, and prevents discoloration of aluminium alloys.
In times of exploding energy prices, parts cleaners that are operated "cold" - i.e. between 20 and 40°C - effectively help to save energy in the process chain. Hakupur A 934, the cold-spray and high-pressure parts cleaner for intermediate and final cleaning processes, has many successful applications. The formulation is label-free and free from boron, monoethanolamine and biocides. This results in a high level of user safety and employee protection. The surfactant structure used in the cleaner also ensures that it works with low foaming even at pressures above 100 bar.
The cleaner is primarily designed for workpieces made of aluminum, steel and cast iron. This makes it the ideal medium for use in engine and gearbox construction. For example, it is used by a well-known German car manufacturer to clean aluminum cylinder crankcases in two central systems with a volume of 60 m3 each and nine individually filled systems. The parts to be cleaned are made of different aluminum alloys, some with a high silicon content. These alloys can be easily attacked by alkaline cleaning solutions, causing them to darken in color. This discoloration also leads to errors in optical surface recognition systems and thus to reworking or rejects, which can be avoided by using a cold-cleaning parts cleaner.
