An industrial group specializing in the manufacture of metal mechanical parts for the automotive industry called on MecanoLav to design a cleaning machine for degreasing and removing particulate matter from short and long shafts.
The objectives were to process up to 135 parts per cycle, at a rate of 3 cycles per hour, prior to packaging and packing.
The machine operates in several stages:
The shafts are positioned vertically in shelves, which are themselves placed in a stainless steel wire rack. The drum oscillates at a configurable angle to enhance the mechanical action of the jets.
The washing and rinsing stages incorporate a triple filtration system with an efficiency-tested cartridge, ensuring the repeatability of the process.
Filtering compressed air to 1 µm also reduces the risk of recontamination during blowing.
Compliance with the ISO 16232 standard is verified by counting metallic and non-metallic particles ranging in size from 100 µm to over 1,000 µm.
The process ensures that the shafts are degreased, clean and dry, and ready for packaging.
