Increasing demands on cleanliness in component manufacturing impose a

need for flexible system technology, optimized in terms of energy and costs.

Ecoclean meets relevant industry quality standards and

cleaning objectives with its individually configurable part

cleaning systems – whether the aim is to clean massproduced items in bulk, precision parts arranged in

defined position, or large-size components made of

metal, plastics or ceramics.

By combining diverse cleaning and drying methods,

specifications on part quality and throughput can be

fulfilled regardless of your specific industry or activity.

Ecoclean offers customer-focused, forward-looking

solutions which take into account the entire process

chain including chemistry, processes, equipment and

instrumentation.

Innovative technology, continuous product improvement

and a customer-oriented advisory and planning competence, backed by a global service network, are the

hallmarks of Ecoclean and characterize our cleaning

solutions. The well-conceived and flexible equipment

design relying on the use of high-grade components

guarantees a superior level of availability and process

reliability in your production environment.

The use of alkaline, neutral and acidic cleaning media

is common practice in wet chemical part cleaning and

surface treatment applications today. Our newly

developed EcoCwave machines are all-round talents

in aqueous part cleaning. Thanks to their versatility in

application, user-specific configuration options and

minimized floorspace needs, they deliver reduced

per-unit costs and stable process quality and will be of

valuable help in boosting your competitiveness and

value-adding performance.

The All-Round

Talent for Aqueous

Part Cleaning

The EcoCwave is a powerful spray flood cleaning system

with a vacuum-tight work chamber. At the user’s option,

it can be equipped for either two or three independent

cleaning steps. The use of upright cylindrical flood tanks,

which have been developed for fine cleaning applications,

ensure an optimized fluid management, a high flexibility

and improved process quality.

Offering a choice of two different work chamber sizes, the

system enables you to make-up your individual specific

batches. Therefore per-unit product costs are minimized.

For your EcoCwave machine, Ecoclean offers an extensive

range of options which are individually selectable to suit

your requirements.

Optimized fluid management: upright

cylindrical flood tanks, superior to

rectangular tanks in preventing the

formation of dirt deposits, are backed by

full-flow filtration and cleaning fluid

treatment

Innovative system technology requiring

minimum floorspace: only 5.5 m² (two-tank

system)

Reduced per-unit product costs: up to 30%

savings through volumetrically optimized

batch make-up

Universal versatility for diverse

applications: in wet chemical part cleaning

and surface treatment due to its two-/

three-tank configuration capability

User-friendly operation: advanced HMI

operator panel for real-time monitoring of

all system states, fault diagnostics and

service intervals notification

An extensive range of options: basic

options, fine cleaning, equipment

monitoring, fluid treatment, automation

solutions

100% drying: achieved through a

combination of hot-air and vacuum drying

EcoCwave – versatility in

application, reduced per-unit

costs and stable process quality
