PRODUCTS & PROCESSES A different way to clean parts De-Oil, Degrease, Clean, Dry & Recoat A Continuous Automated Operation Turbo-Clean parts cleaning machines are an established and successful range of de- oiling, degreasing and cleaning systems designed specifi cally for processing manufactured parts at high production rates. Turbo-Clean machines are ideal for reliable, high performance, low cost de-oiling, degreasing, cleaning and coating applications within automated in-line production lines or as stand-alone cleaning cells where parts are simply loaded into the top mounted load hopper for automated processing. The horizontal centrifuge de-oiling system can remove and recover more than 95% of re-usable oil. The centrifugal system is also available as a combined de-oil plus aqueous detergent or AIII solvent cleaning and drying process, working within the same chamber. Application of inhibitors or coatings is also possible. The patented vibratory oscillating immersion process can provide cleaning, rinsing, drying and re-coating processes, including filtration and ultrasonics to parts travelling continuously through the cleaning system. Parts can be manged throughout the vibratory transfer process to maintain configuration and position to meet customer requirements. Both formats are designed to separate parts from clusters to achieve individual item cleaning and the motive actions are managed to avoid component damage. Turbo-Clean machines are compact units that can be easily integrated into continuous 70 manufacturing production lines, eliminating costly and complex intermediate product handling. Cleaned parts are discharged directly to clean containers or discharge conveyors. The vibratory system can be formatted to provide direct product transfer to a subsequent manufacturing process. Equipped with Siemens control technology, the machines can be configured to interface to a machining centre or cold header delivering parts for processing. It can also provide power and control facilities for discharge conveyors or interface with subsequent manufacturing machines for safe automated operations. Process options start with straight forward de-oil, degrease, cleaning operations, or can be enhanced to provide more sophisticated and specific cleaning, rinsing, drying regimes that can include process and product monitoring providing traceability to meet customer validation requirement. Turbo-Clean GmbH have been manufacturing parts cleaning machines since 1993 and have global installations in specialist markets including Automotive, Aerospace, Medical, Pneumatics, Electrical.
