VACUKLEEN RANGE FOR CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL BALL-BEARINGS AND STEEL SENSITIVE TO CORROSION

Post detail image

The problem concerns the cleaning of corrosion sensitive steel ball bearings , after grinding. These parts are intended for aeronautics and space applications. Because of their high precision dimensional control, they require an extreme degree of cleanliness.

Parts treated in bulk increase the difficulty of cleaning by the high retention due to the weight and very varied diameters. Thanks to their specific formulations, the products of the Vacukleen range allow the quality of cleaning to be guaranteed, meeting the customer requirements both in terms of cleanliness and absence of corrosion.

Nonetheless, we came up with a solution, comprising a first tank with Vacukleen 347 that removes most of the oil from the parts and then separates it from the water, followed by a second bath with Vacukleen CO which emulsifies the remaining oil for perfect degreasing:

The effectiveness of the cleaning with the Vacukleen range allows a large quantity of grinding oil on the parts, to be absorbed and for them to be protected from corrosion during the inspection operations.
