Safechem: Automated solvent monitoring in parts cleaning

Designed to bring solvent monitoring into the age of Industry 4.0, Safechem's Maxicheck Connect enables greater process stability, reliability and efficiency - while reducing human error and manual effort. Regular monitoring of the solvent condition is crucial for a reliable and stable cleaning process. Until now, common practice has been based on manual testing, which is error-prone and often inconsistent. Maxicheck Connect eliminates these weaknesses by combining intelligent automation, networked data evaluation and real-time information - changing the way manufacturers monitor and control their cleaning process. Thanks to integrated sensor technology, the device delivers standardized and precise measurement results that are consistent and comparable. It independently measures key solvent parameters such as acidity, alkalinity and acid absorption capacity - for both perchloroethylene and modified alcohols - and issues real-time alerts as soon as critical deviations are detected.

Maxicheck Connect documents and analyzes measurement data

As a digitally networked system, Maxicheck Connect automatically documents all measurement data. This ensures complete traceability, which considerably simplifies audits and compliance checks. In addition to automated measurement, the device also acts as a digital early warning system. Continuous data collection enables comprehensive trend analysis and supports predictive maintenance and data-based, proactive decisions to identify and prevent potential problems at an early stage. "With Maxicheck Connect, we are making solvent monitoring much simpler, smarter and more reliable," says Sebastian Hill, Business Development Manager at Safechem. "The system allows users to focus on process optimization instead of routine checks - while providing data-based insights that enable predictive process control and greater process stability."

For high-purity and high-precision applications

Maxicheck Connect offers high added value, particularly in industries where cleaning precision and process consistency are crucial - such as the semiconductor, optical, medical and precision industries. In an increasingly digitalized production environment, where automation, traceability and compliance requirements are constantly increasing, Maxicheck Connect helps manufacturers to raise their solvent monitoring standards through state-of-the-art quality management, proactive process maintenance and strategic risk minimization. The device is TÜV-certified and therefore meets the highest standards of safety and quality. The underlying technology is patented. Maxicheck Connect also won the German Design Award 2026 in the "Excellent Product Design - Industry" category - a testament to its innovative strength and design quality. Maxicheck Connect also took 3rd place in the FiT2Clean Award 2025, which is presented annually by the German Industrial Parts Cleaning Association (FiT) for outstanding product innovations.
