The stuff that quality is made of: metal swarf is an important and expensive recyclable material that is reused in the manufacture of fittings in a wide range of industries. However, the swarf must be cleaned for this purpose as part of the manufacturing process.
Complex workpieces cleaning, rinsing and drying that have a weight comparable to that of an Airbus A350: This was the task faced by parts cleaning specialist PURIMA from Porta Westfalica. For a major customer who, among other things, manufactures engines for the shipping industry, the task was to develop an automated cleaning system that cleans large-dimensioned cylinder crankcases of ship engines fully automatically and efficiently: The housings can weigh up to 110 t.
A fully automated and integrated into the customer’s infrastructure integrated cleaning system for components of battery trays, which are used as fixed components in e-vehicles PURIMA, the Porta Westfalica-based expert for industrial component cleaning, has successfully implemented a cleaning system for a major customer in the automotive industry. Along a production line, these are first machined and deburred and then require thorough cleaning. And then require thorough cleaning which completely removes both remaining traces of oil and chips.
After long and intensive planning, PURIMA has commissioned the first plant for cleaning components from electric cars.
For the internal cleaning of complex heat exchangers in exhaust gas cooling systems in the automotive industry, PURIMA installed two identical cleaning systems for two production lines of a global player.
At one of the largest automotive manufacturers, geometrically complex gears and pinions for dual-clutch transmissions have to be cleaned particle-free in high volumes. Cleaning is performed after surface compaction by blasting with steel beads. After cleaning, the components are sent directly to final assembly. Particles in the gearbox inevitably destroy the function of automatic shifting and thus lead to high follow-up costs.
PURIMA has installed another cleaning system for cleaning forged rails in China for an internationally operating automotive supplier.
The cleaning systems type ROTOTRONIC designed by PURIMA are used in many areas of industry and meet high cleanliness requirements with simultaneous high material throughput.
For an internationally active supplier to the automotive industry, air conditioning components have to be cleaned for smooth installation. These are thin-walled, straight and three-dimensionally very complex bent aluminum tubes. After soldering, they must be cleaned inside and out free of particles, rinsed and dried. Purification takes place in PURIMA’s own specially developed plants, which are designed for high throughputs with demanding cleanliness requirements.
