Flowtronic
Our Flowtronic® type systems are made for applications with high material throughput and at the same time meet the highest cleanliness requirements.
Absolute reliability is required when cleaning industrial parts. And that no matter what impurities are on them, how big or complex they are, or from what materials they’re made. PURIMA provides industrial cleaning solutions that satisfy any requirement and that always deliver the desired results. At the beginning of the individual development process, the PURIMA experts work with you to analyse the cleaning requirements, taking into account the process and production chain. On this basis, targeted cleaning solutions are developed which fit seamlessly into the production line. Depending on the specific task, PURIMA develops customised cleaning processes that run autonomously in a self-contained system – from inputting parts, to cleaning, drying and finishing, and media preparation. It doesn’t matter what task is being tackled: be it a large series of complex transmission parts, a small series of machine spindles or custom parts such as 110-tonne engine blocks – PURIMA systems clean exactly the way you want them to.
Whether you need paint stripping, derusting or decoating: our systems will fulfil your cleaning objective – and that efficiently, precisely and sustainably. Find out more about our range of applications here and see some real-life examples of cleaning goals that have been fulfilled!
The special thing about innovative cleaning systems is the range of possible processes to meet your needs. Only when you have the ideal combination does the parts cleaning solution truly deliver as an element in the respective production chain. PURIMA’s engineers and designers have complete mastery of all the relevant cleaning technologies. For each contract, they develop a new technological combination, with the aim of delivering the best, most economical and most sustainable cleaning concept for the respective requirement. Their motto is “There’s no such thing as impossible” – because when they encounter stubborn incrustations, they can turn the water pressure up to as high as 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 valuable commodity all over the world – including in the field of industrial parts cleaning. For both economic and environmental reasons, it makes sense to keep the water used for cleaning in the process cycle for as long as possible through appropriate, ongoing treatment. When, after multiple uses, the water finally reaches the end of its useful life, it is free of impurities, oil and grease, and can therefore be released into waste water disposal systems. To ensure that these goals are achieved reliably and permanently, PURIMA has developed comprehensive expertise in the area of water treatment, which in turn informs the development of cleaning equipment – they give top priority to the resource of water. PURIMA’s systems are environmentally friendly as a matter of principle – using water almost exclusively as the cleaning medium.
