Integrated Parts Cleaning Systems

Proceco's integrated cleaning systems are much more than standard industrial parts washers. They are innovative engineered solutions that integrate aqueous parts cleaning technology with supplementary processes in one multi-task, comprehensive system that meet your exact needs. At Proceco, we employ a modular design philosophy that offers fast system delivery while ensuring custom integration with your manufacturing environment. Our modular platforms allow remarkable flexibility for customizing your system to your specific requirements. Base modules can be combined in a variety of multi-stage configurations, and are available with a vast array of features and options, to achieve the highest productivity for your post-machining processes.

Proceco integrated cleaning systems provide unique advantages:

• Increased productivity
• Improved product quality
• Replacement of complementary process machinery, upstream and downstream parts cleaning
• Reduced parts handling and related equipment such as conveyors
• Reduced operating cost
• One source of responsibility for component compatibility, systems design, and integration
• Reduced floor space

Proceco Integrated Cleaning System Components:

We also supply filtration, separation and waste water treatment technology to provide a turnkey automated cleaning solution that meets your every application challenge.

Material handling systems offered range from belt, chain and monorail conveyors to synchronous or non-synchronous pallet transfer systems, and from simple two-axis pick-and-place devices to fully programmable robotic installations.
Because Proceco takes design responsibility for both process equipment and material handling, we can guarantee the perfect compatibility of all systems.

Depending on cleanliness requirements, Proceco systems incorporate any one or a combination of cleaning processes such as power spray, power flush, immersion with or without agitation/rotation, inserting spraying probe, ultrasonics and precision-aimed solid-stream nozzles. A variety of full-flow multi-stage filtration systems ensure cleaning solutions do not exceed
allowed particle sizes.

Processes offered include phosphating (iron, zinc, manganese, organic phosphate conversion coatings), acid pickling, desmutting, fluorescent penetrant, anodizing, shoot peening as well as rust protection. Surface treatment can be done by immersion, spray, flooding, electrostatic spray or slurry blast centrifugal-bladed wheel.

High-precision deburring is achieved by targeted high-pressure water jet using the proper delivering process selected from a wide range of nozzle configurations, from precision aimed and probing nozzles to rotary probing and rotary jet nozzles. Parts may be fixtured for continuous processing or directly manipulated by articulating or Cartesian robots. The use of robotics achieves high precision and process flexibility by adapting to various part configurations. Because Proceco's hydro deburring technology uses continuously recirculated filtered liquid, a consistently high level of precision cleaning or deburring can be achieved. As an added bonus, this technology is solvent free and environmentally safe.

Proceco offers a variety of verification devices to confirm part presence, verify orientation or identify part model when integrated systems are engineered to process different models of a workpiece. Automated inspection systems including leak testing, pressure testing and gauging as well as identification systems such as marking can also be added.

Drying processes are integrated into Proceco systems. Depending on the application, regenerative blow-off, precision compressed-air blow-off nozzles, convection or vacuum drying, or any combination thereof, will be used. Where part-exit temperature is important, cooling systems are supplied and can be configured vertically to minimize floor space.
