EcoCvolta – High-speed Cleaning for Sensitive Components with High Cleanliness Requirements
Wherever sensitive components are manufactured in large quantities with high demands on component cleanliness, the EcoCvolta can be the right solution for cleaning. Thanks to the continuous flow principle, it can be perfectly integrated into so-called „high-volume production lines“. The system can be easily connected to clean or cleanroom systems to prevent unwanted back-contamination of components. The EcoCvolta is able to cover a wide range of cleaning tasks thanks to the selection of different process modules.
Typical process and component geometry requirements
- Component dimensions (max): 1,000 x 270 x 150 mm – other dimensions on request.
- Material thickness: 0.050 to 20 mm - other material thicknesses on request.
- Material: Material with and without coating; stainless steel or titanium Further materials on request.
- Contamination: Particles, punching oils, emulsion, burrs, flitter burrs, unknown filmic contamination.
- Cycle times: 0.5 seconds up to 10 seconds / monopolar bipolar plate.
- Particulate residual dirt requirements: maximum particle size 100 μm up to a maximum of 300 μm.
- Filmic cleanliness requirement: from 38 up to 48mN/m, free of oils and molecular oil components.
