Accelerate Engine Cleaning: Techniques to Swiftly Refine Engine Components
The automotive industry is constantly evolving, and one key player, BvL Surface Technology, is making waves with its innovative automated cleaning line designed specifically for remanufacturing engine components. This cutting-edge system, which is currently in use by a South German automotive supplier, significantly reduces cycle times while maintaining high cleanliness standards.
At the heart of the system lies the NiagaraRH 1600, a cleaning system designed for pre-treating heavily soiled parts. The fine cleaning process combines rotational movement with additional ultrasonic treatment, utilising Rhönrad technology for effective cleaning. This process is followed by two NiagaraDFS 1200 systems for flood and spray cleaning, ensuring thorough removal of oil, grease, carbon deposits, and particulates.
The system prioritises short cycle times with consistently high quality. It achieves this through automated precision cleaning processes, process integration and automation, customisable cleaning parameters, environmental and worker-safe solutions, and advanced process monitoring. The line uses automated, controlled cleaning steps, such as ultrasonic cleaning, high-pressure washing, or chemically optimised cleaning baths, which consistently deliver thorough cleaning faster than manual methods.
By integrating cleaning with inspection and drying in one automated sequence, the line minimises handling time, reduces human error, and shortens overall cycle times. The system allows adjustment of parameters like temperature, chemical concentration, detergent type, and cleaning duration optimised for engine components, ensuring removal of contaminants to stringent cleanliness levels.
Automated lines often use aqueous or eco-friendly solutions combined with filtration and recycling, maintaining cleanliness without harsh chemicals, thus supporting both high quality and sustainability. Sensors and control systems monitor cleaning efficacy in real time, ensuring consistent quality and compliance with industry cleanliness standards critical for remanufactured engine parts.
Components are cooled in the Arctic cooling tunnel before further processing or assembly, and the dryer removes moisture from components under vacuum, even with complex geometries, using the NevadaVTR 1200 continuous vacuum dryer. The fully automated cleaning line features five interconnected stations for pre-cleaning, fine cleaning, drying, and cooling, with bypass processes and minimal manual intervention.
BvL Surface Technology, a leading provider of aqueous cleaning systems in Germany, offers complete solutions from a single source. They will be exhibiting at EMO Hannover in Hall 11, Stand A32, showcasing their innovative automated cleaning line for engine remanufacturing.
