The Power of Efficient Industrial Degreasing: Save Time and Resources with WashTech

WashTech is a pioneer in industrial degreasing systems designed to ensure maximum cleanliness and functionality in critical processes. This article explores the importance of degreasing in specialized industries and the innovations our technology brings to optimize resources and improve results.

Degreasing is the process of removing organic contamination. Organic products are made up of molecules containing carbon and hydrogen chains, commonly found in the mechanical industry as oils, greases, or waxes. These differ from inorganic contaminants, which in industrial settings may include salts, oxides, and combustion residues.

Degreasing is a technical process essential for eliminating oils, greases, and other contaminants from metal parts and industrial components. This crucial step in advanced production chains is carried out in intermediate or final stages, improving coating adhesion and enabling thermal treatment applications. At WashTech, we develop degreasing solutions that combine efficiency, sustainability, and cutting-edge technology—tailored to meet the needs of the most demanding sectors.

Degreasing Technologies at WashTech

We offer advanced systems such as the SolVacs family (SOLvent VACuum System)—equipment that uses solvents to achieve optimal results in removing oil, grease, and organic compounds, even in the most complex applications.

We are also pioneers in manufacturing hybrid systems, capable of using both solvents and aqueous solutions to achieve exceptional cleaning results for both organic and inorganic contamination.

Main Technical Features of SolVacs Machines:

1. Optimal degreasing quality: Thanks to the unmatched solvent-based cleaning power.
2. Solvent regeneration: Continuous recycling system ensuring constant fluid cleanliness.
3. Water separation capability: Extends solvent life virtually indefinitely.
4. Environmentally friendly: No water consumption, minimal waste generation, and reduced energy use compared to water-based systems.
5. Vacuum operation: Ensures safe performance even at high temperatures.
6. Compatibility with sensitive materials: Unlike water-based systems, solvents are suitable for all metals and ceramics.

Key Technical Specifications:

• Standard basket sizes ranging from 370x220x200 mm to 670x480x300 mm, with flexibility for custom dimensions.
• Fine filtration for applications requiring particulate-free cleaning.
• Capability for both small and large batch cleaning.
• Custom modules available: aqueous washing, anti-corrosion treatments, rinsing modules, and special sizes.

Applications of Degreasing in Critical Industries

Industrial degreasing is not a one-size-fits-all process—its implementation and technical parameters vary depending on the specific requirements of each sector.

Automotive Industry

• Cleaning of engine and transmission components during final washing before assembly.
• Removal of oils after machining, grinding, or polishing processes.

Aerospace Industry

• Degreasing of turbine components and hydraulic systems prior to finishing or heat treatment.

Metallurgy and Heat Treatments

• Cleaning of parts after oil quenching processes.
• Surface preparation for advanced technical coatings.

Medical Sector

• Ensuring the cleanliness of medical and surgical devices after manufacturing in accordance with ISO standards.

Technical Benefits of Efficient Degreasing

The adoption of advanced degreasing technologies, such as those developed by WashTech, provides measurable advantages:

• Operational efficiency: High productivity with machines adaptable to any load size.
• Quality control: Uniform removal of contaminants even from complex geometries.
• Sustainability: Continuous solvent regeneration and reduced chemical consumption.

Industrial degreasing is much more than a cleaning process—it is a strategic element to guarantee efficiency, quality, and competitiveness in key industries. WashTech leads innovation in this field, offering customized solutions tailored to each client’s technical needs.
