Applications

Washing parts or swarf

SCROLL

Application

In many industrial applications, pure de-oiling or drying is not enough to optimally prepare workpieces and chips for further processing or recycling. Our centrifuges for metal parts and chips therefore rely on effective cleaning with water-miscible, alkaline cleaning agents. Whether in metal processing, the automotive industry or in mechanical engineering — our systems reliably remove oil residues, coolants and other contaminants and thus create a clean, reliable basis for downstream manufacturing or recycling processes.

Washing and rinsing in drums

Our centrifuges clean mass-produced parts thoroughly and reliably — oil, coolants and other residues are reliably removed. In this way, they create the ideal basis for downstream processing or coating steps. Thanks to their robust construction and sophisticated technology, our systems are specifically designed for use in series production and guarantee consistently high cleaning quality with minimal maintenance costs.

Washing and rinsing in special containers

For sensitive or geometrically complex components, we offer customised special fixtures that enable particularly gentle yet effective cleaning. Even with complex structures, oil, cooling lubricants and foreign matter are reliably removed – for consistently high cleanliness and process reliability. Our solutions are ideal for high-precision applications, such as in medical technology, aerospace or precision engineering.

Washing and rinsing in shepherd's boxes and stackable boxes

For efficient cleaning of large quantities of bulk material or bulk parts, our centrifuges offer the option of washing and rinsing directly in shepherd's crates or stacking boxes. Oil, coolants and residues are reliably removed without the need to laboriously reload the parts. As a result, throughput times can be shortened and handling costs significantly reduced. The robust technology ensures consistently high cleaning quality — ideal for series production with large quantities and varying components.

Products

We also offer our individual machines and fully automated centrifuge systems in the form of tilting centrifuges. They form the central element of every system for cleaning parts or chips. The size and design are precisely tailored to the respective requirements and precisely integrated into customer-specific overall systems. The result is a powerful, reliable solution — individually planned for your application.

Batch centrifuges

Fully automated systems

Automation

Steimel develops fully automated centrifuge systems that are precisely tailored to your manufacturing processes. Our solutions not only increase efficiency and process reliability, but also make an important contribution to the sustainability of your production.

Automated material supply

Whether via robots or conveyor systems — material containers are automatically guided through all process stations of the centrifuge plant. This enables continuous, unattended operation, minimizes downtime and significantly increases overall plant efficiency.

Process linking with our fully automated batch system

The modular ROBOT-POLAR system enables the flexible networking of a wide variety of machines — including different types — to form a continuous process chain. Material containers are automatically taken over, moved and transported to the next processing stage. Ideal for combined applications such as washing, rinsing, drying or coating — efficient, scalable and individually adaptable.

Added values

Our systems for washing parts and chips offer you decisive advantages: They increase technical cleanliness, improve process reliability and make a lasting contribution to the profitability of your production. In this way, you create optimal conditions for downstream processing steps and a stable production chain.

Automatic washing process

The entire washing process is fully automated within the system — for reproducible results, consistently high cleaning quality and minimal operating effort.

Removal of oil and foreign substances

Parts and chips are reliably removed from oil, coolants and other contaminants — the ideal preparation for downstream processing steps or the melting process in the recycling cycle.

Suitable for high-quality materials

Even high-quality and sensitive materials can be cleaned reliably and in a material-friendly manner with our systems — a crucial prerequisite for their value-maintaining reuse in the production or recycling process.

Individual layout of the system

The size and design of the centrifuge are precisely tailored to the respective requirements and precisely integrated into the customer-specific system.
