Company Offers Options for Parts Cleaning
BvL’s parts cleaning equipment includes high-pressure washing, a basket washing system and a continuous washing system.
The NiagaraMO cleaning system from BvL is designed for cleaning components in baskets or on workpiece holders.
The Geyser unit can be combined with a Yukon continuous system, as seen here.

BvL Oberflächentechnik’s Geyser high-pressure process is designed for removing swarf and burrs. A pump generates a waterjet that is used for cleaning, deburring and paint stripping. The components are cleaned with an adjustable pressure as high as 3,000 bar and a volumetric flow of ranging to 48 liters per minute. Different nozzle systems enable individual processing.
The NiagaraMO basket washing system uses a different cleaning principle. The flood/spray system enables all-round cleaning through rotation of the parts baskets or carriers around the horizontal axis. The front-loading, roller-guided fixture enables linking to the production process. An additional stationary table with cross-moving in-feed and discharge is said to enable faster throughput times, even on components with complex shapes. Optional ultrasound cleaning achieves good cleaning results, according to the company.
The YukonDA continuous system is designed for processes with continuous material flow. The parts pass through the treatment zones in an in-line process (synchronized if required). The parts move past the nozzle frame with offset nozzle positioning. This nozzle system, as well as the load capacities and dimensions, are adapted to the corresponding components. Different wet treatment zones for washing, degreasing, phosphating, rinsing and passivating, and drying can be arranged sequentially as required.
