Medical device manufacturer choses Firbimatic Spa Solvent Cleaning utilising modified alcohol

One of the world ’ s leading manufacturers of industrial cleaning and degreasing technologies has recently supplied a new cleaning and degreasing system to Leghe Leggere Lavorate of Milan Italy . The company specialises in the production of medical devices such as orthopaedic plates , screws and dental implants . Founded in 1951 as a mechanical engineering company they diversified into the medical sector which now accounts for 85 % of their business .
The client required a system which would produce consistent cleaning results to a high specification . Solvent based cleaning is clearly the process of choice for such high integrity demands . The rapid rise in the use of modified alcohols for high specification cleaning has been something that many leading manufacturers have not been able to ignore and this solvent species was closely examined .
In choosing the Firbimatic Multisolvent 200 model the customer was able to reduce their environmental impact , see a vast reduction in solvent consumption compared with their previous process and achieve cycle times of between 7 and 13 minutes .
The Multisolvent 200 system is equipped with a single hermetically seal washing chamber measuring 900x300x200 mm with manual loading and predisposition for automatic loading and unloading . Using vacuum technology and the guarantee of security within a sealed unit the Multisolvent range is fast becoming the machine of choice for many applications .
The reputation of Firbimatic Spa is pivotal when being selected . The 90 % in-house manufacturing capability offered complete confidence in both process and quality control as well as the confidence to meet strict deadlines .
The Firbimatic process is capable of achieving consistently high values of surface cleanliness when measured by one of the many accepted and scientifically proven processes such as Total Organic Compound residues ( TOC analysis ), Gravimetric Evaluation and the very simple Dynes / Cm process which brings day to day surface testing “ out of the laboratory ” and into a ( clean ) factory environment .
Firbimatic Spa is represented exclusively in the UK by Standard Industrial Cleaning Systems Ltd .
