Wet processes

Wet processes in cleaning technology are a widely used method for cleaning surfaces and components in various branches of industry. In this process, cleaning liquids or cleaning solutions are used to remove dirt, oil, grease, residues and impurities from surfaces.

A typical wet process begins with the application of the cleaning liquid to the surfaces to be cleaned. This liquid can be water mixed with detergents, surfactants or special chemicals to enhance the cleaning action. The cleaning liquid can also be heated to increase cleaning performance and dissolve stubborn dirt more effectively.

After applying the cleaning fluid, the surface is mechanically processed to loosen and remove the dirt. This can be done by brushing, spraying, immersion or ultrasonic cleaning, depending on the type of surface to be cleaned and the type of soiling.

After the dirt has been loosened, the surface is thoroughly rinsed with water or other rinsing agents to remove residues of the cleaning fluid. Depending on the requirements, the cleaned surface can also be dried or treated with a preservative to prevent corrosion or maintain the surface quality.

Wet processes in cleaning technology are used in a variety of applications, including the cleaning of components in the automotive industry, the cleaning of products in the food industry, the cleaning of medical devices and instruments and the cleaning of machinery and equipment in manufacturing. They provide an effective and efficient method of removing contaminants and ensuring the cleanliness and quality of surfaces and products.
