Ecoclean’s Director of Sales Sandro Siminovich describes how the company’s EcoCwave single-chamber parts cleaning system operates. Further information in the article details the unit’s automated process monitoring system.
Part cleanliness demands continue to become more stringent and there are a variety of cleaning methods for shops to consider. Ecoclean says its EcoCwave aqueous parts cleaner with a spray-flood cleaning system and vacuum-tight work chamber offers advantages in that it can be configured to suit a variety of applications.
In addition, the company offers automated process monitoring with Ecoclean Connect cloud-based software designed to optimize the acquisition of parts cleaning data while displaying all system and process data on a computer or tablet. Defined data generated by the cleaning system’s control unit is transmitted to the cloud in encrypted form via a secure connection. The company says data is stored, evaluated, analyzed and intelligently linked using the latest Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and infrastructures.
Process visualization includes preselections and step sequence display; operating data history; overview of key performance indicators such as utilization and effectiveness; message archive; and statistics.
Documentation includes an overview of all cleaning processes performed; individual cleaning process reports (including process parameters); management of cleaning programs with version history and reporting; a library for all key documents related to the system; and a timeline for important events.
