SOLvent VACuum System

The SOLvent VACuum System, the SOLVACS vacuum degreasing machine, meets the highest standards for residue-free cleaning and degreasing and drying performance.

• Chamber heating via steam
• Immersion degreasing up to 95°C
• Simultaneous ultrasonic and active immersion cleaning
• Vapor-phase degreasing
• Corrosion protection by immersion
• Intensive vacuum drying

Fully Vacuum-Operated

The entire system in contact with the solvent (<100 mbar) operates under vacuum, allowing cleaning at a temperature above the solvent’s flash point, both during immersion and in the vapor phase.

For continuous three-shift operation without interruption, the machine includes a secondary-circuit cooling heat exchanger to increase cooling capacity.

Optimal Safety

The TWIN SAFETY GUARD continuously monitors the solvent’s flash point and vacuum level through dual hardware and software safety.

• Indirect heating of the solvent
• Automatic emptying and drying of filters
• Monitoring of all valves and flaps
• Condensation of air emissions to reduce solvent release
• Retention tray with detector

Custom Chamber

The SOLVACS vacuum degreasing machine is available in 5 standard usable dimensions according to the size and volume of the parts to be processed.

For special applications, the working chamber can be custom-made.

Continuous Distillation

More than just a degreasing machine, the SOLVACS integrates continuous solvent distillation to ensure optimal lifespan and repeatable results.

Additionally, an extra distillation step minimizes the solvent content (<10%) in the discharged residues.

Water and other substances are automatically removed at low boiling temperatures through the desaturation process.

HYBRID > Solvent + Detergent

The Hybrid SOLVACS enables residue-free cleaning by combining the action of solvent and detergent to remove both organic and inorganic contaminants.

This is especially relevant for vacuum deposition treatment processes (plasma, nitriding, etc.).

Process Reliability

HEMO GmbH, as the inventor of the technology, has full control over the process.

• Automation of process stages
• High level of standard equipment
• Triple filtration system
• Filling and emptying of the working chamber through fine filtration
• Filtration bypass
• Tanks, condensers, and piping welded under inert gas

Manual or Automatic Flow

Manual loading: parts are manually transferred to the working chamber from a 1- or 3-position table.

• Automatic loading: transferred from a roller conveyor, the parts are lifted and automatically inserted into the machine chamber.
• At the start of the cycle, the door closes and locks automatically.

Monitoring and Maintenance

To provide local service in Spanish and keep the machine in perfect operating condition, monitoring and maintenance of SOLVACS machines installed in Mexico are carried out by WashTech’s after-sales service.

• Advice and diagnostics
• Remote maintenance via modem
• Annual installation inspection

HEMO / Surface Alliance

Both companies, HEMO GmbH and WashTech, members of Surface Alliance, have been partners for 10 years.

WashTech ensures the representation of the SOLVACS cleaning machine range in Mexico.
