Whether we are talking about intermediate or final cleaning, the purpose of industrial parts cleaning is to ensure the necessary degree of cleanliness for subsequent processing, or for the long-term, trouble-free functioning of the relevant part or component. Although the required standard of cleanliness (meaning the absence of particulate residues and/or surface films) can vary greatly depending on the particular operation and sector involved, the ultimate aim is to achieve – and in many cases also to document – the desired outcome consistently, quickly, and at the lowest possible cost. Another challenge often faced is to maintain the condition of a work-piece’s surface until it undergoes further processing. Prospective buyers from around the world will be able to find all the right solutions at the next parts2clean, which takes place from October 24-26, 2017 at the Stuttgart exhibition center.
