Industrial Parts Washer Solutions — ph-cleantec GmbH
Leading Parts Washer Technology for Sustainable, Safe, and Cost-Efficient Production
Why Parts Washer Solutions Matter in Industry
In high-precision manufacturing, metalworking, automotive, aerospace, and heavy industry, parts cleaning is a critical process step that affects product quality, machine uptime, and regulatory compliance. Traditional cleaning methods—high-pressure washers, solvent baths, ultrasonic tanks, or cold wash tables—often present significant drawbacks:
- High water consumption and wastewater generation
- Extensive use of chemical solvents with VOC emissions and high procurement costs
- Health and safety hazards for operators
- Prolonged cleaning cycles and high labour costs
ph-cleantec parts washers address these challenges with a fundamentally more efficient and sustainable approach.
Advanced Operating Principle: Heat-Driven, Low-Pressure Cleaning
ph-cleantec’s systems use a unique low-pressure hot cleaning methodology:
- High temperatures (up to 95 °C) dissolved oils, greases, and contaminants efficiently without aggressive chemicals.
- Low pressures (3–14 bar) deliver cleaning force without damage to sensitive parts or risk of operator injury.
Unlike high-pressure washers that rely on mechanical force or solvent methods that depend on aggressive chemicals, ph-cleantec’s method utilizes thermal energy to loosen and mobilize contaminants. This combination ensures thorough, residue-free cleaning on complex geometries—blind holes, bores, threads, and cavities—common in precision parts, without damaging surfaces or parts and without hazards to the operators.
Environmental Footprint — Minimised Resources, Maximum Sustainability
Environmental responsibility is no longer optional for industrial leaders—it’s a strategic imperative. ph-cleantec’s parts washers deliver:
Water & Chemicals Savings
- Easily 90 % less water consumption compared to traditional high-pressure systems.
- Water recycling capability further reduces wastewater disposal and related costs significantly.
- Minimal or zero chemical use, reducing procurement costs and hazardous waste disposal.
Lower CO₂ and Waste Output
By reducing energy consumption associated with heating large solvent baths or continuously running high-pressure systems, ph-cleantec parts washers decrease overall carbon emissions and wastewater load—benefiting both compliance reporting and corporate sustainability scores.
No VOC Emissions
The avoidance of volatile organic solvents eliminates VOC emissions, preserving local air quality and reducing regulatory exposure.
Health & Safety — Designed for Operators and Compliance
ph-cleantec parts washers significantly improve workplace safety:
- No aerosol clouds or solvent vapours that expose operators to respiratory hazards.
- Low pressure cleaning eliminates high-pressure risk of parts ejection or surface damage.
- Reduced need for protective equipment, improving ergonomics and operator comfort.
By removing chemicals and splash risks, ph-cleantec systems also help reduce absenteeism and long-term health liabilities—important KPIs in modern EHS programs.
Superior Economics — Lower TCO, Fast ROI
ph-cleantec parts washers are engineered for measurable economic impact:
Reduced Labour & Processing Time
- Customers report up to 80–90 % reduction in cleaning time, freeing skilled personnel for higher-value tasks.
Operational Cost Savings
- Lower water, energy, and chemical consumption reduce variable operating costs.
- Reduced downtime and maintenance costs due to cleaner tooling and equipment.
Rapid Amortisation
With typical payback periods of 6–12 months, ph-cleantec parts washers demonstrate quick ROI, even for lean operations.
Application Versatility
ph-cleantec systems are suitable for a wide range of parts washing tasks across sectors:
- Metalworking and precision components
- Automotive assemblies and drivetrain parts – motors, gear boxes, brakes etc.
- Heavy industrial and transport components
- Machine tool cleaning and coolant lubricant disinfection
- Filters, housings, and assemblies requiring strict cleanliness standards
ph-cleantec devices can be deployed as standalone mobile units, or integrated into OEM and production workflows for semi- or full-automation. Because of their versatility and mobility, the devices are often used in maintenance departments.
Which device?
All our devices are custom-built for our customer’s specific needs. Parts cleaners are often based upon the following basic models:
You need to clean large or particularly heavy parts? Maybe this combination makes sense for you:
You need to clean parts with particularly valuable materials, for example expensive watches? Consider one of our tower models:
