High Purity

Next level cleaning

Atlantic

The inline solution for highest cleanliness requirements

Flexible immersion system for precision and high purity cleaning

The multi-chamber immersion system Atlantic is designed to meet the highest demands for removing the smallest particulate and filmic contaminants in precision and fine cleaning, up to the high purity level. It is an optimal inline solution for high throughput. In this multi-stage system, diff erent cleaning processes can be applied. The modular design allows fl exible and customized adaptation to your requirements.

Applications:

Suited to various tasks in high-precision industries and high purity sectors with the highest cleanliness and capacity requirements: automotive sector, including state-of-the-art powertrain technology, (e-mobility), hydraulics and pneumatics, optics, medical, electronics and semiconductor industry, aerospace, coating industry, watch and jewelry industry.

Flexible system:
Material flow at a glance:

Custom system design allows optimum integration into your production process, such as flexible positioning of loading and discharging stations (inline)

Scalable:

The system can be scaled up or down to suit the customer’s requirements, allowing anything from ultra-small fine parts to large components with high batch weights to be cleaned

From a single source:

The immersion cleaning system can be combined with other water-based cleaning systems, taking the entire production process into account

Your advantages – not just clean, exquisitely clean!

Focus on your component:
  • The cleanliness requirements of your component determine the selection of the cleaning processes connected in series – for optimal results
  • For complex part geometries
  • For high throughputs
  • Variable ultrasound cleaning for an efficient, deep action that is gentle on materials
  • Interface communication and identification systems for tracking workpieces
Ecological and economic efficiency:
  • Cleaning basins in a cascade arrangement reduce water consumption
  • Insulation provided by high-quality insulating material and machine housing
  • Smart Cleaning technology
Highest quality:
  • Spacious viewing windows for monitoring operations in the machining area
  • Rugged, high-quality design for a high degree of stability

Technology in detail

  • Perfectly coordinated combination of different cleaning processes in a multi-stage system

  • Automated gantry transfer system that can be flexibly programmed in sequence

  • Components can be moved via vertical oscillation and/or swiveling/ rotation (optional)

The components are immersed in several tanks with different treatment stages:

  • Immersion cleaning, immersion degreasing, phosphating, spraying, injection cleaning, ultrasound (optional), Rinsing, passivation, drying (optional)
  • The treatment processes can be customized and are based on the cleanliness and drying requirements to be achieved.
  • Variable number of treatment basins possible
  • Ultrasonic cleaning with sweep function (frequency modulation) in single, dual, or multi-frequency
  • Lifting motion for components inside the dip tank
  • Rotating baskets
  • Surface flooding in the individual baths
  • Cascade guide
  • Filtration systems/oil separators
  • Recirculating air, vacuum, or infrared drying
  • Various feed and removal systems
  • Custom-designed product carriers
  • Process reliability & quality control: RFID/barcode systems, connection to higherlevel IT systems (e.g., OPC or customerspecific systems), Libelle

Smart Cleaning makes BvL cleaning systems “intelligent” and allows predictive maintenance. The various apps show any changes immediately. Sub-processes are self-regulating.

High Purity Applications

The Atlantic reliably meets the demanding cleaning requirements of industries such as the semiconductor industry – particularly ultra-high vacuum technology – as well as the optical industry, medical technology industry and the cleaning of precision parts. It achieves particulate and molecular cleanliness at least at the Grade 2 level, typical for ultra-high vacuum applications, up to the Grade 1 level.

High purity: Cleanliness at the highest level
  • Meets high-purity requirements of the semiconductor industry and vacuum technology
  • Optimized for Clean Service Providers (CSP)
  • Achieving the required atomic percentage contamination limits for elemental surface contamination (HIO elements)
  • Uses DI water and UPW (Ultra Pure Water) for rinsing
  • Particulate and molecular cleaning with documented process quality
Technical highlights for high purity processes
  • Freely programmable cleaning cycles – individually adaptable
  • Ultrasonic cleaning, e.g., with 40 kHz and 75 kHz frequency modules
  • HEPA H13-filtered hot air and vacuum drying
  • Fine filtration of all media
  • Continuous pH and conductivity monitoring for process control
  • Flexible media use: DI water, tap water, UPW
High-purity water treatment – integrable

The ultrapure water used is supplied by a powerful ultrapure water treatment system with: particle filtration, softening, reverse osmosis, UV sterilization, ion exchange, nano- and ultrafiltration, TOC monitoring. Thus, water qualities with a conductivity of 0.06 μS/cm and a TOC value of 13.58 ppb are achieved.
