quattroClean technology: automated dry cleaning before painting saves costs, resources, and space

With its quattroClean snow-jet technology, acp systems AG (Hall 3, Booth 3521) presents a modern and sustainable solution for the automated cleaning of entire surfaces or parts of components prior to painting and coating. The dry cleaning process with recycled liquid carbon dioxide and compressed air not only ensures that components are cleaned as required, but also enables significant savings in costs, resources, and space compared to conventional wet chemical cleaning. By offering different alternatives and sophisticated automation solutions, this efficient process can be optimally adapted to the respective task and various degrees of contamination. With quattroClean snow-jet technology, the liquid carbon dioxide is passed through a wear-free two-component nozzle and expands on exit to form fine snow, which is concentrated by a compressed air jacket jet and directed precisely at the contamination to be removed. This alternative is now state-of-the-art in plastic coating due to its easy integration into fully automated painting lines. The quattroClean rotation system opens up a new level of quality in the removal of loosely adhering, particulate contaminants.

The rotation unit can be adapted in terms of wing number, diameter, and jet angle, enabling solutions that are optimally tailored to the application with very high area coverage and optimized resource consumption. In addition, this alternative is also suitable as a replacement for snow-jet systems already integrated into paint lines that no longer meet increased cleanliness requirements. Persistent particulate and filmic contaminants are a task for acp’s powerSnow technology. With this solution, the liquid carbon dioxide is compressed into fine cleaning granules within the system and accelerated with compressed air through an application-specific nozzle, which is then directed at the surface to be cleaned. Since the external pellet production required for conventional dry ice blasting is no longer necessary, fully automated, uninterrupted cleaning processes can be easily implemented.
