TECHNICAL CLEANLINESS

High Technical Cleanliness for the most Demanding Applications

We supply products with a high level of technical cleanliness for applications with strict particulate contamination limits. We combine in-process and high-end cleaning with our own outgoing inspection and laboratory testing.

Technical Cleanliness as Part of the Production Process

With the growing demands of modern injection systems and microelectronics, technical cleanliness is becoming an important parameter of the final product. That is why we offer our parts with a high level of technical cleanliness, so that they meet the requirements of demanding industrial applications.

We do not see cleaning processes merely as preparation between operations. For us, they are part of the whole technological sequence, which allows us to control the final cleanliness of the manufactured parts and achieve the required parameters.

We monitor all cleaning processes and subsequently test the finished parts. For inspection of the parameters in accordance with VDA 19.1 / ISO 16232, we use our own fully equipped laboratory.

Controlled process

We design the individual steps as part of the whole technological sequence.

High-End cleaning

We combine suitable processes according to the specific product and application.

Laboratory inspection

We perform gravimetric, particle and other required tests.

Every batch inspected

We inspect production batches against defined criteria.

What can provide we for you?

We understand technical cleanliness as a set of consecutive technological steps leading to final high-end cleaning. For each project, we design a suitable combination of processes, surface treatments and inspection so that the final part meets the required parameters.

Process Design

We design an efficient combination of process and high-end cleaning.

Engineering

We design a suitable combination of material and surface treatments.

Gravimetric Test

We determine the amount of residues as the basis for particle evaluation.

Outgoing Inspection

We prepare a test report for every production batch.

Fibre Test

We check every required batch for the presence of fibres.

Particle Test

We determine the amount of metallic and non-metallic particles.

Our Products

PREMIUM

High-end technical cleanliness with vacuum and ultrasonic cleaning

The Premium cleanliness level combines several types of in-process cleaning with subsequent high-end cleaning using vacuum technology and ultrasonic cleaning. The process can be applied to coated and uncoated parts made of carbon and hardened steel, stainless steel and non-ferrous materials.

For threaded and coated parts, it is possible to achieve – depending on the complexity of the geometry – cleanliness at the level of code CCC=A(I-K00) according to VDA 19.1, i.e. with no particles of 400 µm or larger permitted on the part. Every production batch is inspected gravimetrically and, according to requirements, also for metallic and non-metallic particles or fibre length.

PREMIUM MAX

High-end cleanliness complemented by controlled lubrication of threaded parts

Premium MAX builds on high-end cleaning combining ultrasonic cleaning and vacuum technology and adds the application of a lubricant to the process. The solution is intended primarily for threaded parts where, in addition to cleanliness, control of the final assembly properties is also important.

Lubrication can define a specified thread friction coefficient of µges 0.08–0.14 for metric threads, or reduce the thread-forming torque to achieve parameters in accordance with DIN 7500-1 and DIN 267-30. The lubricant is applied under vacuum, and the finished part can then be tested as part of the outgoing inspection as well as at the customer’s site.
