In metalworking, the industrial cleaning of workpieces and components is becoming increasingly important. The requirements for modern cleaning processes are increasing not only in terms of surface quality, surface cleanliness, and defined residual dirt or particle levels. Process reliability and environmental friendliness are also a priority. High-performance filtration systems ensure that cleaning fluids with a high degree of purity are available for as long as possible, thus ensuring greater cost-effectiveness, environmental compatibility, and shorter processes.
WK SYTEMTECHNIK GMBH & CO. KG
Cleaning technology through the ages. WK Systemtechnik GmbH & Co. KG was founded in Spiegelau in 2014. Since then, the company has specialized in the development, manufacture, and installation of industrial coating systems, aqueous cleaning systems, and various types of preservation systems. Inline solutions enable seamless integration into production lines, machining centers, and press lines.
Furthermore, the company offers comprehensive support in the area of contract cleaning. Whether it's for small or large batches, or sample production, WK Systemtechnik handles the entire cleaning process.
Challenge
Industrial production processes require ever-increasing levels of purity. WK Systemtechnik's industrial cleaning technology must meet these requirements. Our customer, WK Systemtechnik, installed a bypass filtration system in the water tank to filter the cleaning media. Skimmers direct the surface layers of the liquid to the coalescer elements. These powerful, innovative coalescer elements ensure efficient separation of oil and emulsions in large volumes.
Solution statement
- Oil emulsion separation: Coalescing elements are used to separate oil or emulsions from water and other liquids. They agglomerate tiny oil or emulsion droplets into larger droplets, facilitating separation.
- Oil recovery: The agglomerated oil droplets can be recovered after separation, resulting in reduced waste and cost savings.
- Environmental protection: Efficient oil/emulsion separation by coalescing elements helps prevent environmentally harmful pollution and ensure compliance with environmental protection regulations.
Customer benefit
- The use of coalescer elements not only optimized the cleaning process in the systems but also set new standards in terms of efficiency and environmental friendliness.
- Not only did the use of coalescer technology minimize downtime for the cleaning systems, but significantly longer bath service life also increased the company's productivity.
- The extended bath service life not only significantly reduced water costs but also the energy consumption for heating the cleaning bath.
- The filter solution used reduced energy consumption. Fewer refills and a longer bath service life meant less heating from 10 °C to 50 °C.
