Requirements in foundries
Castings carry release agents, burrs and residues that have to be removed reliably before further processing. Robust cleaning and deburring processes are required that can handle different materials and geometries.
Suitable processes
Which process fits best depends on the part, the contamination and the batch size — we advise on a technology-neutral basis. For this industry, the following are particularly relevant:
- High-pressure cleaning — cleaning and deburring with the high-pressure water jet
- Wet-chemical cleaning — aqueous or solvent-based cleaning of release agents and residues
- Vibration cleaning — cleaning and deburring by vibration
Test the process at TeSe
Whether a process meets your industry’s requirements on your actual part is shown by a trial: 1–2 hours of testing free of charge. In-depth feasibility studies: CHF 1’200 per day, 50% creditable against a machine purchase.
