Steam degreasing system

In surface technology, the steam degreasing system is an important device for the thorough cleaning of workpieces before further machining processes such as coating, painting or electroplating. These systems use steam as a cleaning agent to remove oils, greases, lubricants and other contaminants from the workpieces.

The operation of a steam degreasing system is based on the principle of condensation. Water is heated in a closed system to generate steam. This steam is then fed under pressure into the cleaning chamber where the parts to be cleaned are placed. The hot steam condenses on the workpieces and dissolves the dirt on their surface. By using steam, even hard-to-reach areas of the workpieces can be cleaned effectively, as the steam can penetrate into every corner and crevice. This results in thorough degreasing and removal of soiling without the need for abrasive methods or aggressive chemicals.

After the cleaning process, the steam is condensed and discharged, leaving the cleaned workpieces dry and free of residue. This enables seamless integration into subsequent machining processes without the need for additional drying or rinsing steps. Modern vapor degreasing systems in surface technology are often equipped with advanced control and monitoring systems to ensure precise control of the cleaning process. This can include the automation of temperature, pressure and time parameters to achieve consistently high cleaning quality.

Overall, vapor degreasing systems play a crucial role in surface technology by providing an efficient and environmentally friendly way to remove contaminants from workpieces. Through thorough cleaning, they help to improve the quality, durability and performance of coated products in various industries.
