parts2clean 2023: New solutions, trends and knowledge in industrial parts cleaning
parts2clean 2023 will feature new solutions, trends and knowledge for process-reliable and sustainably clean components. The trade fair will showcase innovations and further developments in all exhibition areas and will score points with an extensive supporting program.
Companies from all manufacturing industries are faced with the task of continuously improving product quality and cost efficiency as well as reducing energy and resource consumption. Optimized and adapted cleaning processes can make a significant contribution to this. Parts2clean will present solutions, trends and knowledge for this purpose. The 20th leading international trade fair for industrial parts and surface cleaning will be held from September 26-28, 2023, at the Stuttgart Exhibition Center in Germany.
Whether degreasing, classic component cleaning or high-purity applications, as different as these tasks may be, technological and social trends are changing the requirements for parts cleaning. As a result, higher cleanliness specifications have to be met in almost all cleaning applications, especially when it comes to residual filmic contamination. In order to be able to offer competitive products in the long term, cleaning must also be as economical, energy-efficient and resource-efficient as possible. In addition, in more and more cases, the stability of the cleaning processes must also be proven. "As the world's most important information and procurement platform for industrial cleaning technology, parts2clean offers impulses, solutions and services for adapting all steps of parts and surface cleaning to the increased requirements and making them fit for the future," explains Christoph Nowak, Project Director at Deutsche Messe AG. "Effective knowledge transfer for parts cleaning that meets requirements and is both process-safe and sustainable is also the focus of the supporting program at the 20th leading international trade fair."
Innovations and further developments in all exhibition areas
One guarantee for this is the participation of practically all market and technology-leading companies from the industrial cleaning technology sector. "Many of these exhibitors use the anniversary event to present new and further developed products and services to the international trade audience for the first time," reports Christoph Nowak. This includes new and optimized system concepts for degreasing and classic cleaning tasks as well as for precision cleaning and high-purity applications such as those increasingly encountered in the optical and semiconductor supply industry, electromobility, medical, pharmaceutical, sensor, measurement and analysis technology. "Due to the steadily growing importance of these applications, the classic core areas of parts2clean were expanded at the anniversary event to include the highlight topic of High Purity," adds Christoph Nowak. However, this is not only demonstrated by plant and process engineering solutions for cleaning high-tech components, but also by the broad range of products for setting up, equipping and optimizing cleanrooms.
Exhibitors will be responding to the trend towards ever higher particulate and filmic cleanliness requirements, which is prevalent in almost all industries, with innovative and adapted process technologies and solutions for cleanliness control. Energy-efficient drying alternatives will also be presented for more resource-efficient operation of wet-chemical cleaning systems. Whether for the removal of contaminants over the entire surface or selectively, the importance of dry individual parts cleaning is increasing both from the point of view of cleanliness technology and energy, which is also reflected in the range of products on display at parts2clean. Another topic that exhibitors will be providing information about is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of industrial parts cleaning. When it comes to cleaning media, bath monitoring and care, water treatment, corrosion protection and packaging, as well as cleaning and transport containers, the companies are waiting with new and further developed products.
Effective knowledge transfer through supporting program - including High Purity
"Complementing the exhibitors' cross-technology, cross-material and cross-industry presentations, the sophisticated supporting program offers visitors a wealth of knowledge and know-how on current topics in component cleaning and various trends in growth industries," reports Christoph Nowak. The special show "Process Chain Technical Cleanliness", organized jointly with the CEC (Cleaning Excellence Center), will demonstrate ways of implementing the required component cleanliness in line with requirements and in a sustainable manner, including accompanying quality assurance using innovative technologies.
The exciting program of lectures and presentations on trends and new developments at the action area of the Fachverband industrielle Teilereinigung e. V. (FiT) will be complemented by the top-class presentation of the FiT2clean Award, worth 10,000 euros, on the third day of the trade show. A highlight of this year's parts2clean bilingual technical forum program is the keynote lecture by Dr. Nicole Smits, Cleanliness Expert at ASML Netherlands B.V., which will kick off the High Purity lecture series. She will provide information on the importance of cleaning and the cleanliness requirements for EUV technology and how these can be achieved. Other topics in this session deal with requirements and solutions for medical, pharmaceutical and microtechnology, precision optics and sensor technology, among others. No less interesting are the presentations by high-ranking experts from industry, research and academia on the topic blocks "Fundamentals of Industrial Cleaning Processes", "Monitoring and Controlling Cleaning Processes", "Cleaning in Electrical Engineering/Electronics" and "Monitoring and Analyzing Cleaned Surfaces". All presentations will be simultaneously translated (German <> English). Participation in the parts2clean technical forum is free of charge for trade show visitors, and the complete program is available on the parts2clean website. (OM-09/23)
