Thermal cleaning in a fluidised sandbed allows for the fast and effective removal of polymers and organic contaminations from metal tools and machine parts, leaving them without any residues.
Using high temperatures from approx. 430°C upwards, organic substances (like polymers and plastics) are decomposed into a low temperature carbonisation gas and carbon in a process called pyrolysis.
This is followed by a thermal oxidation phase where the remaining carbon is completely removed, leaving the tools and machine parts perfectly cleaned without any carbon residues.
Gentle on the tool or part, as well as the environment, the cleaning process is optimised for the sensitivity of the item(s) to be cleaned.
Metal tools and parts which might benefit from thermal cleaning, include:
Reliable cleaning of assembled and disassembled tools leading to increased tool life and reduced machine downtimes.
The process is fast, safe and green. It works completely without waste water and waste, offering an effective removal of all plastics.
Generated low temperature carbonisation gases are cleaned with an integrated thermal afterburner, meaning there are zero emissions.
Our quick and efficient Fluidised Sandbed is 1.8m x 1m x 1m and offers a fast, reliable turnaround.
If required, we can offer collection and delivery for commercial projects.
