Different components, small production runs — a separate system for each part does not pay off.
Chamber Cleaning Systems
What it is built for
The machine type for batch operation
High flexibility
Different components run through the same parts cleaning system.Small to medium production volumes
Batch operation instead of a line.Higher cycle times permissible
Several minutes per cycle — room for a flexible process.
Several process steps take place in one closed chamber. For bulk parts we usually apply flood washing inside the chamber cleaning system: the process medium is guided over and around the parts at high volume.
Typical workpieces
From aluminum die casting to the engine block
Aluminum die-cast parts, steel parts, gearbox housings. We clean large components such as engine blocks with lance technology — it moves into bores and through-holes in a targeted way instead of only hitting the surface.
Typical contamination is oil, emulsion, chips and dust. Baked-on contamination is the most difficult case — talk to us early here, and we will clarify the feasibility before you plan.
Configuration and operating principle
Single-chamber process with several cleaning tanks
- 01CleaningSpraying, flooding or immersion — individually or combined.
- 02RinsingSeparate solution tanks prevent mixing.
- 03DryingRecirculated air or infrared drying.
- 04Ultrasonic cleaningje nach AuslegungWhere immersion and flooding processes are used.
- 05Vacuum dryingje nach AuslegungFor high drying requirements.
The workpieces are pushed into the chamber in a basket, in a box or on a parts carrier via a loading unit — manually or automated. Multi-chamber solutions shorten the throughput time: while one chamber is cleaning, the next one is already running the following step.

What we design for you
There is no standard chamber cleaning system
Your component
Geometry, complexity, size, blind holes and through-holes, material, bulk parts or individual part.The contamination
Type, amount, required residual contamination values.Your production
Cycle time, batch size, drying requirement, whether deburring is additionally needed.Water and media
Chemistry specifications, passivation, water quality from city water to deionized water (DI water), treatment, circuits and recovery.
Automation
Automated loading and unloading — from a single source
Where the limits are
When another machine type is the better fit
- 01
Continuous cleaning system
For high production volumes and a defined range of parts, with cycles of seconds instead of minutes. - 02
Rotary indexing cleaning system
For a defined production process, when loading and unloading are meant to run parallel to the processing. - 03
Immersion cleaning system
When the component has to be fully immersed so that the process medium reliably reaches every area. - 04
Water jet deburring
When burrs additionally have to be removed and cleaning alone is not enough.
Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions about the chamber cleaning system
What is a chamber cleaning system?
When does a chamber cleaning system make sense — and when a continuous cleaning system?
What advantages does a chamber cleaning system offer?
Applications
Components on which this system design is decided
Each case sets out the design factors, the possible system concepts and the methods in detail — here you only find what it is about.
Cylinder head
The spray jet hits what it sees — and what it does not see only becomes visible in the residual contamination verification.
Gearbox housing
Internal channels and bore intersections decide the method on the gearbox housing: spraying creates a spray shadow, not every surface can be reached. The more complex the geometry, the sooner immersion and flooding come into question instead of spraying.
Hydraulic manifold
A hydraulic manifold is not only installed, it carries flow — what stays in the channel stays in the system.
Valve block
Blind holes and branching channels are exactly the places a spray jet does not reach: it hits what it sees.
Also with a chamber cleaning system as a possible concept: Cross-drilled holes and blind holesAluminum die-cast partHigh technical cleanlinessLarge and heavy partsMultiple part variants
None of these cases inevitably leads to the chamber cleaning system. Which machine type it becomes arises from the interplay of geometry, contamination, cleanliness requirement, production volume and cycle time — the machine type is the result of the system design, not its starting point.
