Integrated Cleaning Systems

PROCECO's integrated cleaning systems are much more than standard industrial parts washers. They are innovative, custom-engineered solutions that integrate aqueous parts cleaning technology with automation and a variety of other post-machining processes, such as high-pressure water jet deburring and surface treatment, to create a multi-fonction parts cleaning system.

Using pre-designed parts washer modules, we are able to customize your system to meet your specific requirements within a minimal lead time. Base modules can be combined in a variety of multi-stage configurations, and are available with a vast array of features and options, enabling you to achieve high productivity gains for your post-machining processes. PROCECO provides you with fully tailored solutions, from design concept to turnkey installation.

PROCECO Integrated Cleaning Systems Provide Unique Advantages

Improved product quality
One system replaces complementary process machinery, upstream and downstream parts cleaning
Reduced parts handling and related equipment such as conveyors
Reduced operating costs
Single-source of responsibility ensures component compatibility, systems design, and integration
Reduced floor space

PROCECO Integrated Cleaning System Components:

Automation and Material Handling: PROCECO’s material handling systems range from belt, chain and monorail conveyors to synchronous or non-synchronous pallet transfer systems, and from simple two-axis pick-and-place devices to fully programmable robotic installations. Because PROCECO takes design responsibility for both the process equipment and material handling, we can guarantee the perfect compatibility of all systems.

Precision Cleaning: Depending on your cleanliness requirements, PROCECO systems can incorporate any single cleaning process or a combination of processes, such as power spray, power flush, immersion with or without agitation/rotation, inserting spraying probe, ultrasonics and precision-aimed solid-stream nozzles. A variety of full-flow multi-stage filtration systems ensures that cleaning solutions do not exceed allowed particle sizes.

Surface Treatment: Processes offered include phosphating (iron, zinc, manganese, organic phosphate conversion coatings), acid pickling, desmutting, fluorescent penetrant, anodizing, and rust protection. Surface treatment can be done by immersion, spray, flooding, and electrostatic spray.

High-Pressure Water Jet Deburring: High-precision deburring is achieved with a targeted high-pressure water jet using the appropriate delivering process selected from a wide range of nozzle configurations – from precision-aimed and probing nozzles to rotary probing and rotary jet nozzles. Parts may be fixtured for continuous processing or manipulated directly by articulating or Cartesian robots. The use of robotics ensures high precision and process flexibility by adapting to various part configurations. Because PROCECO's hydro deburring technology uses continuously recirculated filtered liquid, a consistently high level of precision cleaning and deburring can be achieved. As an added bonus, this technology is solvent-free and environmentally safe.

Quality Assurance: PROCECO offers a variety of verification devices to confirm part presence, verify orientation, or identify part model in cases where integrated systems are engineered to process different models of a workpiece. Automated inspection systems including leak testing, pressure testing, gauging, and marking identification systems can also be added.

Drying and Cooling: Drying processes are integrated into PROCECO systems. Depending on the application, regenerative blow-off, precision compressed-air blow-off nozzles, convection or vacuum drying, or any combination thereof, can be used. Where part-exit temperature is important, cooling systems are supplied and can be configured vertically to minimize floor space.
