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.
For a major customer in the aviation industry, PURIMA, a long-standing expert in special machine construction in the field of industrial parts cleaning, developed a system for cleaning components from aircraft engines. After use in air traffic, the workpieces are contaminated to varying degrees by grease, engine and hydraulic oils, fuels or combustion residues and require complete cleaning in the course of maintenance work after they have been dismantled.
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.
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.
