Cleaning is an important process step in manufacturing technology, in which contaminants such as dust, abrasion particles, oils or machining residues are removed from component surfaces. These often arise during previous machining steps and can impair the quality and function of the components.
The cleaning process is used in many industries, particularly in metalworking, the Automotive industry, electronics manufacturing and Medical engineering. Clean surfaces are an essential prerequisite for subsequent processes such as Coating, assembly or packaging.
- Reliable removal of typical manufacturing contaminants
- Greater process reliability in subsequent stages
- Protection of component quality and function
In workshops and repair centres, machine parts must be thoroughly cleaned before being refitted, as even the tiniest particles of dirt can cause considerable damage – for example, in an engine.
We use special consumables that thoroughly dissolve grease. The effect is particularly intense, as the constant collision of the abrasive media with the workpiece surface brings the compound into very close contact with the contaminants, thereby mechanically removing them.
Systematic cleaning – developed and manufactured in-house. At Walther Trowal, we combine the chemical cleaning action of our in-house Compounds – which are specially tailored to each individual process – with the mechanical action of the vibratory finishing process. This ensures that greases, oils, abrasion particles and adhering residues are not only reliably dissolved, but also gently and effectively removed from the component surface. Our Compounds are developed and manufactured at our plant in Haan (Germany). Our plastic abrasive media are also produced there in-house. We manufacture the ceramic abrasive media at our plant in Stoke-on-Trent (UK). This enables us to ensure optimal coordination of all process components and consistently high quality from a single source.
