Ecoclean : The new EcoCcompact - compact plug & play system for efficient solvent cleaning and preservation
Reduced unit costs thanks to higher cleaning performance and lower energy consumption
With features such as a large batch capacity , improved washing mechanics and wash fluid reconditioning , as well as energyoptimized system technology with effective heat recovery , the new generation of EcoCcompact machines keeps unit cleaning costs low even when cleanliness requirements are high . The small footprint and flexible changeover between hydrocarbons and modified alcohols also contribute to the excellent economic efficiency and future-proof concept of the compact plug & play cleaning system from Ecoclean .
Ever-stricter demands on component quality and rising product diversity are calling for increasingly complex and versatile solutions in the parts cleaning sector . To keep production competitive , it is also essential to minimize resource consumption and unit cleaning costs while maximizing cleaning performance . The latest generation of the cost-efficient EcoCcompact solvent-based system has been adapted to meet these requirements . Requiring a space of just 3,200 x 1,600 x 2,450 mm ( L x W x H ), the compact plug & play solution allows you to switch easily between hydrocarbons and modified alcohols ( semi-polar solvents ) during ongoing operation without any conversion work .
Optimal cleaning results achieved faster and more cost-effectively
The machine comes with two or three fully-integrated flood tanks , each fitted with a filtration system in the supply and return lines in the form of bag-type or
high-performance filters and bypass filtration . This flexibility enables optimum results to be achieved in short cycles , all the way from pre-cleaning and intermediate cleaning tasks to final cleaning and preservation . On the one hand , the working chamber ’ s standard diameter of 550 mm results in a batch capacity which is ten percent higher than that of conventional systems in this segment . On the other hand , the high flooding volume means that parts are fully immersed in the wash fluid during the process . In addition , the powerful , frequency-controlled flood pumps not only ensure that the working chamber is filled and emptied quickly ; they also achieve a high mechanical cleaning effect during the standard injection flood washing step . This can be further enhanced by integrating an optional , frequencycontrolled rotary drive to rotate and position the parts to be cleaned in a specific way .
Besides the high capacity and effective washing mechanism , the EcoCcompact ’ s energy-optimized system technology makes the machine even more economically efficient . For example , the second and third flood tanks are warmed by heat recovered from the distillation process . Among other things , this has led to a significant reduction in energy consumption . Thanks to the efficient distillation process , the machine also has impressively low solvent requirements . This has been attained by installing the distillation unit in a vertical position , which requires hardly any mounting fixtures . The design reduces sump formation , prevents dirt build-up and results in an extended bath life .
A seven-inch HMI touch panel and selfexplanatory pictograms guarantees simple , safe and fast operation . Integrated parts visualization also makes process tracking and maintenance easier and more intuitive .
With these features , the EcoCcompact not only meets the requirements of factories with comparatively low production capacities and varying cleaning requirements but also those of large factories with decentralized cleaning stations .
