Flowtronic
Our Flowtronic® type systems are made for applications with high material throughput and at the same time meet the highest cleanliness requirements.
Industrial components must be cleaned with absolute reliability—regardless of the type of contaminants adhering to them, their size and complexity, or the materials they are made of. PURIMA offers industrial cleaning solutions that meet every requirement and consistently deliver the desired results. What sets this apart: At the start of the customized development process, PURIMA experts work with you to analyze your cleaning requirements, taking into account your existing process and manufacturing chain. Based on this analysis, we develop tailored cleaning solutions that integrate seamlessly into your production line. Depending on the task, PURIMA develops precisely tailored cleaning processes that operate autonomously within a closed system—from the receipt of parts through cleaning, drying, and finishing to media treatment. It doesn’t matter what the task at hand is: whether it’s large-volume production runs of complex transmission parts, small-batch production of machine spindles, or special parts such as cylinder-crankcase assemblies weighing 110 metric tons—PURIMA systems clean exactly as you require.
Whether your workpieces need to be stripped of paint, rust, or coatings, our systems will meet your cleaning goals—efficiently, precisely, and sustainably. Get an overview of our wide range of applications here and see examples of cleaning goals we’ve already achieved through treated components!
What sets innovative cleaning systems apart is the ability to select the appropriate process based on specific needs. Only the ideal combination makes a parts cleaning solution a truly unique high-performer within the respective production chain. PURIMA’s engineers and designers are masters of the full range of relevant cleaning technologies. With every project, they develop a new technological combination aimed at creating the best, most economical, and most sustainable cleaning concept for the specific requirements. The motto is: “Nothing is impossible”—because for particularly stubborn deposits, they can even apply water pressure of up to 4,000 bar.
Did you know that stubborn component contamination or workpiece coatings can be removed using the high-pressure water process – without the addition of any chemical additives? PURIMA cleaning systems with high water pressure are not only powerful, but also environmentally friendly. With pressures of up to 4000 bar, the cleaning material is treated powerfully and in a focused manner or over a wide area on the desired contours or surfaces, completely without chemical additives. Our large-area cleaning with patented special tools and integrated suction technology opens up a wide range of application possibilities. Depending on the requirements, our high-pressure technology is used both for cleaning individual parts and in our continuous flow systems. From decontamination to deburring and decoating, many applications are possible: paints, resins, release agents, ceramic coatings and radioactivity are professionally removed using high-pressure technology
Adhering oils and greases from production processes or incrustations and dried production residues on components are typical requirements for the spray cleaning process step. The aqueous cleaning medium is sprayed at low pressure specifically onto the surface to be cleaned by means of a nozzle. This can be done from all directions. The impurities are either directly detached by the mechanical energy and flushed away or softened to be completely removed in the following cleaning step. Either the component or the nozzle is set in motion to ensure uniform impingement. If particularly high purity requirements have to be met, the spray process is suitable as the final fine cleaning stage in industrial cleaning plants. Any remaining particles are thus removed 100 percent from the surface. removed from the surface.
The cleaning of components in an immersion bath is one of the classic applications in the field of industrial parts cleaning. For immersion cleaning, the items to be cleaned are immersed in an aqueous alkaline or acidic cleaning solution and treated there for a defined time. Here, too, the dissolution of contamination can be improved by component movement: rotation or oscillation in the baths ensures uniform distribution of the cleaning medium. The efficiency of immersion degreasing can also be increased by raising the basin temperature. The time factor also depends on the degree of soiling of the components to be cleaned. The process is simple, economical and gentle on sensitive surfaces. Immersion cleaning is usually combined with the mechanical support of ultrasound and pressure flooding in our plants.
Cleaning with the right vibration: In ultrasonic cleaning, components are subjected to vibrations between 20 and 130 kHz. These are generated in oscillating elements on the sides of the pool or on the bottom of the pool. The effect of ultrasound in the liquid is high tensile and compressive forces, which create vacuum bubbles. The subsequent implosion of the vacuum bubbles produces a very high mechanical effect on the component surface. Due to uniform propagation of the sound in the cleaning medium, full accessibility of the component surface and thus excellent cleaning is ensured. Dirt particles adhering to the surface are detached in this way without attacking or abrading the material itself. Cavitation occurs on all surfaces that are covered with liquid. Ultrasonic cleaning is optimized by rotation, oscillation and pressure flooding of the components. The ultrasonic cleaning process is ideal for reaching geometrically complex parts with narrow joints or blind holes where other cleaning methods have little or no effect. In addition, the sonic frequency can be variably adjusted, so that coarse cleaning through to fine cleaning is possible with this process.
Contamination with chips and oils can be found on workpieces directly after mechanical processing. In most cases, these must be removed before the next machining step. Pressure flooding is often combined with ultrasound in installations. Nozzles are arranged in the process basin in specific relation to the workpiece. Optimal mechanical cleaning effect can be achieved by using ultrasound and pressure flooding alternately. At the end of each cleaning process, depending on the requirements of the process and the desired results, drying and preservation can be easily integrated in our systems.

Our Flowtronic® type systems are made for applications with high material throughput and at the same time meet the highest cleanliness requirements.

Whichever cleaning technology our customer chooses – the desired performance is only guaranteed if the media used in the system meet the highest requirements for cleanliness and cleaning efficiency.

Our single-chamber spraying systems treat a wide variety of components using the spraying process. The products to be cleaned are as individual as the plant itself.

Rototronic® cleaning systems are capable of performing all movements and angular positions to clean components with complex geometries.

Basket washers on aqueous basis treat serial parts in high quantities or also individual single parts at highest cleanliness requirements by multiple layer changes.

Flushing and testing systems are used for a wide variety of line types, some of which have the highest cleanliness requirements.

The PURIMA rotary transfer machines handle series parts in high volumes with the highest cleanliness requirements in the tightest of spaces.

PURIMA high pressure plants are based on pure water cleaning without the addition of chemicals at maximum mechanical energy.
Clean water is a precious resource worldwide—including in industrial parts cleaning. From the perspective of environmental protection and cost-effectiveness, it makes sense to keep the water used for cleaning in the process cycle for as long as possible through ongoing, demand-based treatment. However, when the water finally reaches the end of its service life after prolonged and repeated use, it is free of contaminants, oils, and greases, so it can be sent to wastewater treatment or discharged into the sewer system. To ensure these goals are reliably and sustainably achieved, PURIMA has developed comprehensive expertise in water treatment and integrated it into its cleaning systems—giving the resource “water” the highest priority. PURIMA’s systems are inherently environmentally friendly—using water as the cleaning medium nearly 100 percent of the time.
