Precision Cleaning & Cleanliness Testing

As the manufacturing world heads toward Nano Technology the importance of producing a clean part for even the most commonplace item is rapidly becoming a requirement.  Many process engineers and quality managers who have never had to be concerned with part cleanliness suddenly have to come up to speed on topics such as Precision Cleaning utilizing Ultrasonic Cleaning and verification by Cleanliness Testing.

The time and costs to learn these disciplines and get up and running can be significant.  The capital costs to implement Ultrasonic Cleaning and the associated waste streams are considerable.  There are innumerable environmental laws covering the treatment, disposal and reporting of wastes.  Costs to staff and train personnel are ongoing to ensure that the operation runs properly.

PTI's Precision Cleaning division has a wide range of equipment and the expertise to achieve the results you need far more efficiently.  We have seven Precision Cleaning methods available:  Ultrasonic Cleaning, Turbulent Flushing with square wave pumps, Citric Passivation, Aqueous Immersion with alkaline or acid chemistries, Vapor Degreasing, CO2 SnoGun, and Mechanical Blasting.  Much of this equipment is housed in Class 1000 clean rooms.  We will work with you to determine the best method available to achieve the part cleanliness your application requires at the most economical price.  

Precision cleaning is just part of the process.  To assure compliance, Cleanliness Testing for Solid Particles and Non Volatile Residue must be just as precise.  Cleanliness Testing methods available include, PC based Optical Particle counter, PC based Microscopes, PC based Micro Balances, Black Light, High Intensity UV Light, Articulated Boroscopes & Water Conductivity. 

PTI provides certified Cleanliness Testing to a number of critical specs to verify that parts will, in fact, meet the cleanliness standards our customers demand.
