High-Speed Inline Degreasing for Mechanical Parts
Inline cleaning systems for mechanical parts boost your production efficiency.
Rea Steam Cleaning technology uses rapid-action steam to wash parts directly during production, at rates of up to 20 pieces per minute. Eliminating the need for separate handling and logistics, saving both time and money.
Dry steam systems combine thermal shock and 10 bar pressure to significantly cut washing and degreasing times. At the same time, high temperatures ensure fast drying of the mechanical parts, reducing system length and footprint.
Other advantages are:
- minimal chemical usage (less than 2 liters per hour) with consistently clean steam
- less maintenance, as there are no filters to change
Thanks to partnerships with companies specialized in automation, REA is able to offer global solutions that include the loading and unloading of parts from the production line.
Do you need to clean gaskets while ensuring optimal engine function?
In industrial maintenance, especially in sectors relying on internal combustion engines and high-performance machinery, engine gaskets represent a delicate but crucial component. Their role in maintaining airtight seals and ensuring optimal engine function cannot be overstated.
Cleaning around gaskets—particularly in environments contaminated by oil residues, carbon buildup, or fine particulate matter—remains a technical challenge. Manual methods or aggressive chemical agents often pose the risk of damaging gasket surfaces or associated electrical and electronic systems nearby.
Steam cleaning as a safe, effective and non-invasive solution
Our inline steam cleaning solutions use dry saturated steam at 10 bar pressure, offering a safe and effective method for removing grease, oil, and carbon deposits without disassembling the unit or isolating components.
Why it works for engine gaskets:
- Controlled temperature and pressure (approx. 180°C at 10 bar) ensure that the steam penetrates fine crevices without compromising gasket material integrity.
- Low moisture content of the dry steam ensures no pooling or dripping, critical when cleaning near seals, connectors, or electrical harnesses.
- No electrostatic risk: Steam can be applied directly around sensors, control units, relays, or filters without needing to disconnect or shield the components.
