Ecoclean Announces Compact Plug and Play Solvent Cleaning System
Reduced unit costs due to higher cleaning performance and lower energy consumption.
Thanks to its large batch capacity, improved washing mechanics and wash fluid reconditioning as well as energy-optimized system technology, the EcoCcompact accomplishes cleaning tasks ranging from pre-cleaning and intermediate cleaning to final cleaning and preservation - fast, needs-based manner and at minimized unit costs.

Ecoclean has announced a new plug and play cleaning system boasting such features as a large batch capacity, improved washing mechanics and wash fluid reconditioning, as well as energy- optimized system technology with effective heat recovery. Ecoclean claims the new generation of EcoCcompact machines keeps unit cleaning costs low even when cleanliness requirements are high. The small footprint and flexible changeover between hydrocarbons and modified alcohols also contribute to the economic efficiency of the system.
The machine requires a space of just 3,200 x 1,600 x 2,450 mm (L x W x H), and comes with two or three fully-integrated flood tanks, each fitted with a filtration system in the supply and return lines in the form of bag-type or high-performance filters and bypass filtration. This flexibility enables optimum results to be achieved in short cycles, all the way from pre-cleaning and intermediate cleaning tasks to final cleaning and preservation. On the one hand, the working chamber’s standard diameter of 550 mm results in a batch capacity, which is ten percent higher than that of conventional systems in this segment. On the other hand, the high flooding volume means that parts are fully immersed in the wash fluid during the process. In addition, the powerful, frequency-controlled flood pumps not only ensure that the working chamber is filled and emptied quickly; they also achieve a high mechanical cleaning effect during the standard injection flood washing step. This can be further enhanced by integrating an optional, frequency-controlled rotary drive to rotate and position the parts to be cleaned in a specific way.
The EcoCcompact’s second and third flood tanks are warmed by heat recovered from the distillation process, contributing to a reduction in energy consumption. Thanks to the efficient distillation process, the machine also has low solvent requirements. This has been attained by installing the distillation unit in a vertical position, which requires hardly any mounting fixtures. The design reduces sump formation, prevents dirt build-up and results in an extended bath life.
A seven-inch HMI touch panel ensures simple, safe and fast operation. Integrated parts visualization also makes process tracking and maintenance easier and more intuitive.
