Sustainable industrial cleaning

In recent years, the need for sustainability has become increasingly important in the industrial precision cleaning industry. As a result, companies are exploring methods and products that are not only effective in cleaning but are also safe for the environment and human health. In this regard, Kemet is proud to offer a new range of cleaning machines that operate in a complete vacuum treatment cycle, ensuring excellent cleaning of finished products from wastage and oily substances, without releasing harmful substances into the environment.

One of the main advantages of Kemet's vacuum solvent cleaners is that they significantly reduce air and water pollution, helping fight ozone depletion and climate change. The cleaning machines operate in a closed-loop vacuum environment, which eliminates virtually all air emissions. Moreover, there is zero water consumption in the cleaning process, contributing to water conservation.

Kemet's vacuum solvent cleaners also feature built-in distillation, which allows for continuous solvent recovery and a longer solvent lifespan, resulting in less solvent waste. The cleaning systems follow a waste hierarchy that emphasises reducing the consumption of cleaning fluids and water, making them an excellent choice for environmentally conscious businesses.

Kemet's vacuum solvent cleaners employ a sophisticated "Double Distillation" process that allows for the separation of up to 99% of oil from modified alcohol, with a low alcohol content of ~1% in distillation residues. Modified alcohols are used in these cleaners, which offer degreasing results similar to those that can be obtained with perchloroethylene (a chlorinated solvent classified as a suspected carcinogen).

The vacuum range during the cleaning cycle is 100-1 millibar, which is guaranteed by three different vacuum generating groups, each with its unique capabilities, making Kemet's vacuum solvent cleaners suitable for a wide variety of parts treatment cycles. Additionally, a rust-preventing treatment is automatically applied in the vacuum, avoiding further processing steps required by other industrial cleaning units.

Kemet's safe solvent cleaning machines are ideal for precision mechanics, automotive, heat treatment, oleodynamic components, springs, moulded components, fashion accessories, jewellery, watches, components for furniture, medical, dental, cookware, cutlery, and electronics. The machines are recommended according to the quantities to be treated, the quantity of contamination, and the size of semi-finished products.

In addition to their new range of vacuum solvent cleaners, Kemet offers ultrasonic cleaning tanks ranging from 40 to 160 litres, with over 400 high-performance formulations to choose from. They also provide aqueous cleaning fluids that comply with validation standards of ISO 19227-2018 and biocompatibility standards of ISO 10993-18, making them ideal for the medical and aerospace industries. Finally, Kemet's passivation lines comply with ISO 7 clean room standards.

Kemet offers cleaning trials to help businesses find the ideal cleaning solution for their needs.
