Thermal cleaning

Thermal cleaning is a process that is used in various industrial contexts to remove contaminants from surfaces. This method uses high temperatures to remove organic substances, varnishes, paints, oils and other contaminants from workpieces. The material is heated to a certain temperature, causing the contaminants to oxidize and evaporate.

Thermal cleaning is carried out in special ovens or chamber systems that allow precise temperature settings. Controlled heating ensures that the organic compounds in the contaminants are broken down while the actual workpiece remains intact. This method is particularly suitable for complex components with hard-to-reach areas, as the thermal energy is distributed evenly over the entire surface.

The process has the advantage that no chemical cleaning agents are required, which is more environmentally friendly. It is used in various industries such as metal processing, plastics manufacturing and the electronics industry to clean components before subsequent processing steps or to prepare them for painting and coating processes.
