Services
Burn-off Ovens
Burn-off ovens use controlled thermal decomposition to remove organic contaminants from industrial components. This environmentally friendly process safely eliminates coatings, paints, and residues without damaging metal substrates. Ideal for filters, trays, and machinery parts across automotive and manufacturing sectors.
DEECOM Steam Cleaning
DEECOM steam cleaning employs superheated steam to dissolve and remove oils, greases, and carbon deposits. Patented technology ensures thorough cleaning of precision components like oxygen service hoses and aerospace parts. Non-abrasive and solvent-free, it meets stringent industry safety standards.
Ultrasonic Cleaning
Ultrasonic cleaning uses high-frequency sound waves to dislodge contaminants from complex geometries. Effective for small components like springs, fixings, and medical instruments. Aqueous solutions ensure safe, residue-free results without thermal stress on materials.
Aqueous Cleaning
Aqueous cleaning systems utilise water-based detergents to remove particulates and soluble contaminants. Suitable for large-scale industrial parts including automotive components and polymer equipment. Environmentally compliant and adaptable to automated processes.
Filter Cleaning
Specialised filter cleaning restores airflow and efficiency in industrial filters contaminated by dust, oils, or resins. Combines thermal, mechanical, and chemical methods to extend filter lifespan. Critical for maintaining operational performance in manufacturing and processing plants.
