Cleaning and degreasing event

At Kumi Solution's open house event one of the world's fastest cleaning machine, the Pero R1 will be put through its paces. A solvent degreaser with vacuum drying the R1 takes component cleaning and degreasing to new levels.

Designed with a minimal operational footprint the R1 has the equivalent cleaning capacity of machines that are significantly larger. With a maximum throughput of up to 20 baskets per hour the R1 has made slow vapour degreasing machines or cheap unreliable systems using dry-cleaning technology a thing of the past. A basket size of 530 x 320 x 200 mm (other sizes are available), able to hold up to 80 kg of parts, results in an efficient cleaning process which provides an impressive return on investment.

It is also the most energy efficient vapour degreasing equipment currently available, consuming just 1.15 kW per load or 0.03 kW/litre of washed component. It is eco-friendly with minimal solvent usage, as little as 20 kg per year, and features low installation and running costs.

Two Pero R1 machines will be running demonstrations, one filled with SAFECHEM's NEU-TRI E trichloroethylene, the other with DOWPER MC, SAFECHEM's perchloroethylene. A third Pero machine will a modified alcohol, which is being taken up by the industry as a viable alternative to trichloroethylene.

Managing director, Simon Graham, states: “We are so confident that we can improve any component cleaning operation that we are offering fantastic prizes for anyone that attended with parts that cannot be cleaned quicker and/or to an enhanced standard.”
