Particles Removal
Particles removal process is essential in industrial cleaning solutions for the automotive, aerospace, and medical industries to ensure product quality, enhance precision, and maintain safety standards by ensuring reliability of critical components.
Some machined parts demand to be free from any particles in order to guarantee optimal quality and reliability of the finished product. They may be used for delicate applications ( inspection devices, parts used in oxygen delivery systems, …) or prepared for a critical subsequent process (machining in white or grey rooms, gluing, coating or painting, …).
Reducing the number and size of particles requires processes and products specifically adapted to meet customer requirements or to meet certain industry standards. INVENTEC offers solutions specially adapted to the types of processes used in industry, whether by immersion, spraying or flushing. Using aqueous or solvent based fluids in an approach that respects the increasingly demanding environmental criteria.

What are the different processes?
- Co-solvent: solvent process with Topklean products as cleaning agent and Hydrofluoroethers as rinsing solvent
- Mono-solvent: vapor phase cleaning with 1 single solvent for cleaning & rinsing
- Aqueous spray in air: dishwasher concept
- Aqueous spray in line: spray in air as part of a continous production process
- Aqueous immersion jets:parts are submerged in a cleaning bath and immersed spray jets provide agitation
- Aqueous Immersion : immersion in tank with options for heating, ultrasonics, agitation (moving of cleaning baskets)
- Manual cleaning: spray, poor or dip in simple tank without heating

Guide to Particle Removal from Metals and Plastics
Particle removal is a critical process in manufacturing and quality assurance, aimed at eliminating contaminants that can compromise the integrity of metals and plastics. To remove particles with high accuracy, techniques such as ultrasonic cleaning, air-jet blowing, dry ice blasting, and advanced filtration are employed. These methods ensure that even the smallest particles are dislodged without damaging sensitive surfaces. Choosing the right particle removal strategy depends on the material, the size and type of particles, and the specific process requirements, allowing manufacturers to maintain product quality and compliance with industry standards.
Modern solutions to remove particles from metals and plastics combine precision and adaptability, leveraging innovations like laser cleaning, plasma treatment, and chemical solvents designed for targeted decontamination. Integration of in-line particle removal detection systems further enhances the process by enabling real-time monitoring and control. This comprehensive approach not only boosts the effectiveness of particle removal but also optimizes production workflows, reducing downtime and increasing yield.
Automotive: Driving Clean Excellence
In the automotive industry, particle removal is essential to prevent surface defects and ensure the durability of parts subjected to extreme conditions. Techniques like ultrasonic baths and high-pressure air jets are widely used to remove particles from engine components, plastic trims, and metal assemblies. Accurate particle removal enhances paint adhesion, improves electrical conductivity, and prevents premature wear, ensuring vehicles perform reliably and safely over their lifespan.
Aerospace & Defense: Precision Purity for Critical Components
Aerospace and defense sectors demand ultra-precise particle removal solutions to maintain the integrity of highly engineered metals and composite plastics. Cleanliness standards are exceptionally stringent due to the critical nature of aerospace components. Advanced particle removal methods, including plasma cleaning and laser ablation, are applied to eliminate microscopic contaminants, which could otherwise lead to material fatigue or failure. These solutions guarantee mission-critical reliability and compliance with rigorous industry certifications.
Medical: Sterile Surfaces for Life-Saving Devices
In medical manufacturing, particle removal plays a vital role in producing sterile, contamination-free devices. Metals and plastics used in implants, surgical tools, and diagnostic equipment must undergo meticulous cleaning processes to remove particles that could trigger infections or compromise patient safety. Techniques such as cleanroom-compatible ultrasonic cleaning and chemical treatments ensure that particle removal meets the highest hygiene and regulatory standards, supporting patient health and successful medical outcomes.
