In contrast to boxes made from perforated metal sheets, the baskets from stainless steel rounds have no enclosed surfaces, corners and edges. Cleaning media and process technology have unfettered access to the parts to be cleaned.
By the optimum positioning of components in the workpiece holder, critical areas such as specific bore holes and undercuts can be treated specifically.
Optimum cleaning is achieved when workpieces in a cleaning basket are easily accessible from all sides. To facilitate this, Metallform produces workpiece holders and baskets for bulk parts from stainless steel rounds. In contrast to boxes from perforated metal sheets, these baskets have no enclosed surfaces, corners and edges. Therefore, ultrasonics and spray jets have unfettered access to parts and can take maximum effect. At the same time, the open design ensures an effective exchange of media. Removed contaminant is flushed from the basket quickly and can be removed by the filter, and the accumulation of contamination in the basket is inhibited. The carry-over of cleaning media is minimized, resulting in longer periods between bath changes and thus improved system availability. In addition, the open basket design allows cost savings in the drying process, since the easy accessibility of parts reduces the drying time required.
Metallform uses CAD technology to achieve optimum positioning of components in the workpiece holder. This enables the process technology being used to access critical areas such as specific bore holes and undercuts. In this way, particles and film-like contamination are quickly removed and the resource-efficient drying of parts is assured. Another design feature is the minimizing of contact points between the component and the workpiece holder.
Metallform produces all workpiece holders and baskets from stainless steel rounds with electrolytic polished surfaces. This durable material is suitable for all cleaning media and prevents components from being recontaminated by the workpiece holder and baths from being contaminated by corrosion and zinc separation. All joints are completely welded and there are no sharp corners, edges or wire ends that could cause injury.
Metallform will present its products at the Durr Ecoclean, Jayco Cleaning Technologies, Surface Alliance and German Group Stand booths.
