Immersion cleaning

Immersion cleaning is a common process in industrial cleaning technology that is used to thoroughly clean workpieces and components. In this process, the parts to be cleaned are completely immersed in a cleaning medium, such as water, cleaning solutions or solvents.

During the immersion cleaning process, the soiled parts are immersed in the cleaning bath and left there for a certain period of time. The cleaning fluid then dissolves and removes dirt, grease, oil, soot and other contaminants from the surfaces of the workpieces.

This process offers several advantages. Firstly, it enables efficient cleaning of large quantities of parts in a short time. In addition, immersion cleaning is particularly effective when cleaning complex components with hard-to-reach areas, as the cleaning medium can reach all surfaces.

Immersion cleaning is used in various industries, including automotive, electronics manufacturing, metalworking and aerospace. It is an important step in manufacturing to ensure that manufactured parts are clean and free from contamination, ensuring product quality and longevity.
