Degreasing system
Various components are used in a degreasing system to clean and degrease workpieces. These systems are of crucial importance for the preparation of surfaces prior to further machining processes such as coating, painting or electroplating. The operation of such a system is based on a multi-stage process that aims to remove oils, greases, lubricants and other contaminants from the workpieces.
At the beginning of the process, the parts to be cleaned are loaded into the degreasing system. Depending on the type of contamination and the nature of the workpieces, various cleaning methods can be used, including spray cleaning, immersion cleaning or ultrasonic cleaning. These cleaning steps are often supported by the use of special cleaning solutions or chemicals aimed at effectively dissolving the contaminants.
After the workpieces have been cleaned, a rinsing process often follows to remove excess cleaning solutions and chemicals. This step is important to ensure that the surfaces are free of residues and that no unwanted reactions with subsequent coatings or processes occur. Modern degreasing systems in surface technology are often equipped with advanced technology that enables precise control and monitoring of the cleaning process. This can include the automation of process parameters, real-time monitoring of cleaning solutions or the integration of chemical recovery systems to make the process more efficient and environmentally friendly.
Overall, degreasing systems play an essential role in surface technology by improving the quality and durability of coated workpieces and ensuring that they meet the required standards. Through effective cleaning processes, they help to ensure the reliability and performance of products in various industries.
