Vacuum system handles approved solvents
A production vacuum cleaning system uses all worldwide-approved solvents while meeting emissions legislation and fire/explosion regulations.
Currently, the cost per unit is one of the most important factors Pero, innovative manufacturer of systems for surface cleaning and degreasing of metal parts for more than 50 years, has addressed this challenge

Compact tunnel washers can be easily integrated into any production line and have been specifically designed for cleaning, degreasing, rinsing and drying of parts and assemblies.
Vacuum units provide 'clinically clean' parts
Clinical cleanliness is achievable with a range of cleaning systems, which can be operated with all solvents that are currently permitted by law in Europe and elsewhere.
The '3001' is a mass-produced system, which is available from stock.
"A mass-produced system can be manufactured more cost-efficiently," explained Dipl-Ing Robert Huber, sales manager for Germany of Pero.
He said that the motivation for the 'Project 3001' and a lower capital investment simply helps to decrease the average cost per unit.

Co-solvent ousts 'trich' to clean aircraft parts
For the maintenance of precision aircraft components, British Airways Component Engineering at Hayes, has replaced trichloroethylene with a faster, more efficient co-solvent cleaning system.
If 'trich' is a problem, try this one
An aggressive cleaning solvent for medium to heavy-duty degreasing applications offers an ideal long-term replacement for n-propyl Bromide (nPB), Trichloroethylene (Trike), and other solvents.
"Due to our knowledge of the market, we were able to perform an analysis," said Dr-Ing Volker Kofler, sales manager at Pero, "And with the '3001' we have developed a product that even in its basic configuration fulfils the requirements made to a state-of-the-art solvent system".
The new '3001' is typical of the Pero full vacuum systems, which have already set standards in the past.
They can be operated with all currently worldwide-approved solvents, including hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons,fluorocarbons and modified alcohols, all without prior modification.
At the same time, the systems meet both the emission limiting regulations and the fire and explosion protection regulations.
Their purification performances are pre-eminent as even stringent requirements such as 'clinically clean' can be met.
This shows that Pero has been successful in implementing their technology know-how into a standard system.
The Pero 3001 system is fully equipped and offered for a very attractive price.
To a certain extent, adaptation to customer requirements is possible.
Thanks to series production, the system is available from stock.
Even service and maintenance have been standardised and simplified.
Like all vacuum systems, each '3001' is designed as completely mounted compact system.
It comprises the following.
* A working chamber.
* Two clearing baths, distillation and vacuum drying equipment.
* Switch cabinet and base tub mounted in a cased framework of block design.In the '3001' all containers are permanently subjected to vacuum.
"Thanks to the full vacuum technology, all purification and distillation processes can be carried out part- and solvent-friendly at low temperatures," explained Huber, who said it was one of the outstanding features of the new system.
Moreover, parts and chips can be dried emission-free, thus reducing both emissions and the consumption of solvents significantly.
The dimensions of the '3001' baskets are 530 x 320 x 200mm, the charge weight is 80kg.
Each '3001' is equipped with two clearing baths, a full-flow filtration for up to 10 micron, vacuum re-distillation equipment with automatic outward transfer of the waste oil and is automatically charged.
And it can handle eight to 10 charges/h.
For the user, the 'Pero said that the 'PERO 3001' is an excellent process offering high throughput, short intervals, highest purification quality and best service and all for a very favourable price.
