Vapour Degreasing


Alongside ultrasonic cleaning technology, Hydroflex employs vapour degreasing techniques where cleanliness is an extremely high priority. For example the absence of surface contaminants prior to heat treatment of products is essential in order to achieve satisfactory material properties and surface finish.

Customers also benefit from the availability of these specialised cleaning services and Hydroflex can provide advice on applications to ensure compatibility of process parameters with different materials, solvents and contaminants.

Technology

Hydroflex uses computer-controlled vapour degreasing technology that ensures the absence of harmful emissions through the recycling of solvent vapours and the use of airtight enclosures in processing equipment.

WASHING CYCLE: This is a sequential washing system that utilizes hot-cold vapour solvents, an optional immersion phase, and mechanical cleaning jets.

DRYING CYCLE: This is a closed circuit hot air system with condensation of the solvent vapours by refrigeration. The length of the drying cycle varies according to the type of materials processed. An optional vacuum-type drying process ensures shorter cycle times and gives better results when processing smaller products and items with complex surfaces. The reduction of residual concentrations is achieved through an active carbon recycling unit, regenerated with hot air in a closed system.

RECYCLING: In order to maintain maximum purity and consistent results, a water separation process, solids filtration and finally a distillation process all combine to ensure that the total cleaning operation always remains at optimum performance .

Benefits

Apart from the absence of harmful emissions and the assurance of consistently high quality results, our vapour degreasing processes offer substantial operational savings that enable Hydroflex to provide a cost-effective, efficient and fast turnaround service to our customers.
