acp systems AG

advanced clean production GmbH develops CO2 snow-jet systems with a high customer benefit for cleaning a range of components and products without the use of chemicals. Highly-innovative and the clear market and technology leader in Europe, the company develops environmentally friendly CO2 dry cleaning systems for customers from all industries. With competent, customer-orientated project realization, the company has been producing CO2 systems and solutions to meet the highest demands since 1997.

Ever-increasing demands regarding the cleanliness of component surfaces call for increasingly effective cleaning methods. With its innovative dry cleaning technology using a jet of CO2 snow, acp GmbH has developed an in-line process that is capable of removing particulate and filmy contamination (e.g. dust, ablation residues, flitter, flux residues, smoke residues from laser processes, oils, fingerprints, cutting emulsions, polishing paste, etc.) from almost any material in a gentle but effective manner. The process can be used not only to clean large surface areas but also to selectively remove contamination from tiny defined functional areas with the highest cleanliness requirements.

Whether for use in connection with painting plastics, manufacturing precision mechatronic products, in electronics or the semiconductor or optical industry, in order to achieve high-quality results in coating, painting, joining or other processes, surfaces need to be free of particles, oils and grease. The patented CO2 snow cleaning technology cleans sensitive component areas using a dry, environmentally-friendly, residue-free process. By utilizing a supersonic cleaning jet, optimum cleaning results can be achieved with a minimum consumption of CO2. Together with the option of a direct supply of liquid CO2 these features make the process especially suitable for automated applications.
