CleanStation
Precision CO2 Cleaning Workstations
Cleaning delicate and sensitive parts demands a controlled environment. Dust and particles abound in the air; plus moisture makes it difficult too. Sure, you can carry your parts down to a cleanroom and try to get some lab space to run a few tests. Maybe they will let you bring your cleaning system inside. But how can you see when you’re doing an effective job of cleaning?
In this unique system you’ll enjoy a perfect cleaning environment in nearly any location. Whether in a classroom, laboratory or technical office, CO2 cleaning benefits are instantly available. Just plug it in to create the perfect space for CO2 composite spray cleaning where liquid CO2 is transformed into a powerful cleansing jet. Now you’ll remove fingerprints, films, and submicron particles without residues from wipes or swabs.
The example CleanStation has shown helps to eliminate contamination problems during spray cleaning by reducing the number of airborne particles, vapors and residues that can settle on sensitive materials. Unlike conventional spray cleaning, it ensures fast, thorough dry cleaning without contact with foreign cleaning media that can shed particles, leave residues and emit hazardous solvent vapors. The all stainless steel CleanStation has almost no impact on the cleanliness or air flow of the surrounding area, while protecting critical parts and assemblies during spray cleaning and inspection operations. Outside atmosphere is not drawn into CleanStation. As the heated, filtered and ionized atmosphere passes downward, it is captured in a collection area (along with contaminants) and routed back through the heater/filter/blower module. And unlike conventional laminar flow benches, this minienvironment won’t adversely affect cleanroom air circulation because it retains particles and residues removed from precision cleaned parts. The magnetically mounted, adjustable spray nozzle and dual foot-switch allow hands-free spray cleaning. The generous workspace is fully illuminated by the large magnifier aiding cleaning and inspection operations.
Example Applications and Benefits
- Selective hands-free contaminant removal from components during precision assembly operations
- Removal of polishing particles from optical devices to improve light transmission
- Removal of particles from Laser chips to improve reliability
