In many high-tech industries, such as automotive, electronics, aerospace and medical, the cleanliness of surfaces is a critical success factor. While conventional cleaning methods often rely on solvents or complex wet chemical processes, Plasmatreat offers a reliable and efficient alternative with the new HydroPlasma technology. The innovative technology works completely without chemicals, using only compressed air, electricity and water.
Removal of oil, salt and grease
This innovative technology uses ionized water to efficiently remove even the most stubborn contaminants such as oil, salt and grease completely chemical-free and environmentally friendly.
The cleaning process is based on the direct injection of water into the plasma jet, where it is ionized and converted into a highly reactive jet. A specially designed nozzle directs the jet onto the desired substrate surface. The ionized water molecules achieve a cleaning effect comparable to that of detergent in warm water, reliably dissolving and removing residues.
The Openair-Plasma process developed by Plasmatreat has been optimizing industrial production processes for many years. A process gas, usually air, is ionized by a high-voltage arc. This creates a plasma jet that, through a specially adapted nozzle, micro-cleans surfaces with pinpoint accuracy, activating metal, glass and plastic surfaces. It reliably removes contaminants such as dust and organic residues. At the same time, plasma treatment increases the surface energy, making materials more wettable and creating optimal conditions for subsequent processes such as bonding, painting, printing, sealing and coating.
For applications where this alone is not sufficient, for example, in the case of difficult-toremove contaminants such as oils, greases or salts - HydroPlasma complements the Plasmatreat portfolio with another powerful cleaning technology.
Both are VOC-free, sustainable cleaning processes that do not use environmentally harmful chemicals. As a result, they not only contribute to workplace safety, but also help companies reduce their carbon footprint and promote sustainable production processes.
Versatile industrial applications
HydroPlasma is particularly suitable for industries with high purity requirements and can be integrated into existing production processes as well as into existing Plasmatreat plasma systems. The process is extremely flexible and can be used for industrial processes such as battery production or applications in the electronics industry. Originally developed for metal and glass cleaning, HydroPlasma also demonstrates its advantages in the plastics sector. The cooling effect of the water supply minimizes the risk of thermal damage to sensitive surfaces, allowing for gentle but effective cleaning.
