Industrial cleaning machine for handles and bathroom accessories with three chambers

The machine is made of AISI 304 stainless steel (EN 1.4301) throughout and features very compact dimensions. TermoVide® EU2000 V700x3 belongs to a new generation of industrial cleaning machines. The machine works with water-based detergents. The industrial cleaning machine has been designed for incorporation into the handles mass production line. The handles cleaning process is performed in three cleaning chambers operating in series/parallel. Each chamber is equipped with a sealed door. The TermoVide® EU2000 V700x3 is designed to clean handles and bathroom accessories in series. The TermoVide® EU2000 V700x3 ultrasonic cleaning machine uses just one detergent. Each chamber has useful dimensions of 512W x 2625D x 720H mm, a working volume of 960 litres, and a 500 kg payload. The available phases of the handles and bathroom accessories cleaning process are:

• VCA Vacuum and controlled atmosphere
• sW-De1 spray cleaning, detergent 1
• immW-US-De1 Immersion, ultrasonic cleaning, detergent 1
• sR-fDi Spray rinse, non-recirculated fresh demineralized water
• immR-fDi Immersion rinse with fresh demineralized water
• D drying

The process temperature can be set between 35°C and 80°C The batch of handles is cleaned in chamber 1, after which it is transferred to chamber 2, where it is rinsed, and finally it is transferred to chamber 3 for drying. The machine holds three batches of handles or bathroom accessories simultaneously, each located in one of the three chambers/phases of the cleaning process. In the TermoVide® EU2000 V700x3 industrial cleaning machine all the parameters used in each phase, such as temperature, vacuum, etc. can be customized. The ease with which customized processes can be set up and reused makes the machine exceptionally flexible. On the TermoVide® EU2000 V700x3 industrial cleaning plant the operator can set up a dedicated cleaning process for each type of handle or bathroom accessory, save the process, and retrieve it whenever needed. The TermoVide® process developed for series cleaning of handles or bathroom accessories can deep clean the products to remove machining residues, chemical process residues, cutting oils, dust, etc. Main features of the machine:

• loaded horizontally by means of an in-line conveyor system
• designed to function with one detergent
• equipped with an oil skimmer to extend the working life of detergents
• is a compact machine installable in 3-4 days
• smaller footprint than a traditional ultrasonic cleaning machine
• fully customized
• environment-friendly machine
• SW designed to meet Industry 4.0 requirements
• is equipped with an intuitive and user-friendly HMI interface
• prevents the evaporation of cleaning and rinsing liquids, reducing direct and indirect electric energy consumption
• extends the duration of detergents by reducing their consumption
• uses controlled atmospheres when necessary, to increase effectiveness of the cleaning phases and avoid materials oxidation without using passivating agents
• compatible also with passivating agents
• uses steam in the rinse phase for enhanced efficiency
• uses vacuum to boost drying performance.
• cleans and dries difficult materials such as those with high specific heat
• cleans and dries complex features such as holes, cavities and undercuts, also at low temperature, speeding up subsequent surface treatment processes
• is equipped with a reverse osmosis plant

The TermoVide® EU2000 V700x3 management software features several access levels: the software logs all operator-entered process types, saves any technical problems affecting the machine, highlights periodic maintenance intervals, etc. The system features a “help” button to send a service request email to Eurocold technical service. This function is particularly useful when the machine is operating 24/7 or in a time zone that is significantly different from that of Italy. Technical service accesses the machine remotely, retrieves and analyses the machine data and, in the vast majority of cases, solves the problem without an on-site visit.
