FABTECH 2024 Finishing
Fabtech will feature cleaning and finishing solutions at Fabtech in Orlando.
Posted: October 1, 2024
Solutions for Efficient and Energy-saving Parts Cleaning and Degreasing
Ecoclean (Southfield, MI) will provide information about its trendsetting product portfolio for solvent and water-based cleaning. It is optimally tailored to fulfill a broad range of cleaning applications with cleanliness, economic efficiency and sustainability. Ecoclean will be in Booth W-2310.
As a full-range supplier of future-oriented, flexible, and energy-efficient solutions for industrial component cleaning, Ecoclean and UCM, the group’s division specializing in precision and ultra-fine cleaning, cover the entire spectrum of wet-chemical processes.
At FABTECH, the company will be providing information about its broad range of standardized chamber systems for cleaning with water-based media, solvents, and modified alcohols, as well as a wide variety of process technologies. It covers most cleaning tasks in the general industries as well as the automotive and supplier sectors.
For applications that require individually designed special equipment, for example due to component dimensions, throughput requirements, cleanliness specifications or other company-specific factors, the equipment manufacturer has developed innovative modular systems for water-based cleaning and for cleaning with solvents or modified alcohol. These engineered machine concepts reduce the design
effort required, shorten delivery times, and reduce costs. As a result, cleaning processes and systems, including the most suitable process and drying technologies for both batch and individual part cleaning, can be tailored very effectively to product and company-specific requirements. In addition, all solvent based cleaning and degreasing systems are fully enclosed and carrying the fluid in a closed loop circuit.
The machines are equipped as standard with an integrated distillation system and filtration systems for continuous automatic reconditioning of the solvent. So, operator exposure to the solvent is virtually eliminated and an unchanging cleaning quality and long solvent life is ensured.
The Latest Advancements in Powder Coating Technology
Gema USA Inc. (Indianapolis, IN), a leading innovator in powder coating technology, will be in Booth W-2620. Explore Gema’s state-of-the-art interactive displays showcasing the latest advancements in powder coating technology.
At the forefront of Gema’s exhibit will be the new OptiGun® GA04 automatic guns. With a powerful 110,000 kV high power cascade and integrated PowerBoost® technology, the OptiGun GA04 Series delivers the highest charging capacity in the powder coating industry. This new gun series is available in a variety of models tailored to diverse applications, including standard automatic guns with injector or pump technology, quick color change needs, robotic applications, and robust enamel requirements.
Complementing the OptiGun display will be Gema’s Dynamic Contour Detection laser scanner. This cutting-edge technology detects object geometries and aligns each gun precisely, ensuring optimal coating of even the most complex components.
Another highlight is the new OptiSpray All-in-One powder application pump … the first to merge Smart Inline Technology (SIT), dense phase powder delivery, and electrostatics into one compact unit. Experience unparalleled control and performance, from rapid powder feed response times to delay-free powder cloud control, setting a new standard for coating efficiency and versatility.
Gema will also showcase GemaConnect®, a cloud-based digital intelligence tool that provides comprehensive data on performance, operational status, maintenance, and system health. This platform is ideal for companies looking to enhance operational efficiency, maximize resources, and reduce costs.
Visitors can also try out the OptiFlex® Pro manual spray unit, renowned for its industry-leading charging power. The OptiFlex Pro series caters to a wide range of application requirements, offering unmatched flexibility and performance.
KYZEN to Feature Full Line of Metal Cleaning Chemistries
The KYZEN (Nashville, TN) Clean Team will exhibit at Booth W-2810 offering cleaning insights and solutions for a wide range of industrial metal cleaning challenges.
KYZEN offers a full line of products to meet the challenges faced today by metal industry manufacturers. The company provides chemistries to address cleaning challenges ranging from cleaning and protecting parts from corrosion with a single chemistry, improving a remanufacturing process or vacuum degreasing process, or replacing solvents that may soon be hard to get or completely banned.
Award-winning KYZEN chemistries are designed to effectively remove a variety of oils, coolants, smut, oxides and more from many substrates in precision metal cleaning applications. For example, KYZEN offers products that clean and brighten brass, clean and protect aluminum, remove carbon smut from deep drawn steel or provide general metal degreasing. We even assist in making cleaning processes “future-proof” from bans and restrictions with solvent replacements, in light of recent EPA restrictions and the current phasedown in production of materials containing PFAS and HFCs.
Whether the cleaning process and challenge calls for aqueous cleaning agents, vacuum degreasing solvent cleaners, or solvent replacements, KYZEN’s cleaning experts will work to find the chemistry that fits your cleaning need and process.
Regardless of process, challenge, or the cleaning objective, KYZEN is prepared to offer chemistries and provide solutions.
