B&B Engineered Systems - Robotic CO2 Spray Cleaning Systems
Cleaning and surface preparation prior to painting is of critical importance in the automotive industry. Automated CO2 cleaning is changing the way automotive manufacturers pre-treat and prepare surfaces. The combination of CO2 cleaning with robotic applicators is quickly becoming the standard in the industry for painting and coating parts. CO2 spray cleaning is a waterless, residue-free solution designed as a replacement for traditional aqueous and solvent based cleaning operations. CO2 cleaning uses either solid or liquid phase carbon dioxide to clean, remove particulate matter, de-oil, and degrease, resulting in clean parts that do not require a drying step. Robotic CO2 spray cleaning systems provide cost effective, no-touch cleaning technology that can be easily integrated into numerous types of existing production lines with a fraction of the footprint of other cleaning methods.
-
NO RESIDUES
Carbon dioxide cleaning produces solid CO2 particles (or snow) which sublimes upon contact with the surface, leaving no cleaning agent residues to manage or condensation left on part surfaces.
-
ENERGY AND SPACE EFFICIENT
Unlike aqueous-based cleaning systems that have a massive footprint and produce water waste, CO2 cleaning is an environmental solution requiring low electric energy expenditure and no costly wastewater disposal.
-
CONSISTENT RESULTS
Manual hand wipe operations demand a trained workforce using solvent dipped rags, which can lead to inconsistent results. CO2 cleaning, on the other hand, can be programmed to produce repeatable results.
-
POWERFUL CLEANING
Air blow systems do not have the cleaning force to remove heavier dusts and other contaminants from the surface, affecting the bond adhesion. CO2 cleaning penetrates the boundary layer to reach the surface and remove difficult contamination with ease.
We have partnered with Cool Clean Technologies, the global leader in CO2 cleaning, dry machining, and CO2 extraction technologies, to develop solutions designed to improve manufacturing processes.
