Filter production lines incorporate machinery with numerous mechanical and metal components used in cutting, pleating, forming, conveying and assembly operations. During periodic maintenance or repair, removed fasteners, guide components, guards and other mechanical parts may have oil, grease, dust, fibers and residues from previous maintenance products on their surfaces. Degreasing these components prior to inspection, repair or reassembly is an important preparation stage of the maintenance process.
The fundamental principle of degreasing is to dissolve, loosen or otherwise enable the removal of oily contamination from metal surfaces using a suitable chemical system. Alkaline degreasing systems may be used for components with heavy oil and grease contamination. For localized maintenance operations, industrial degreasers or suitable solvent-based cleaning systems may be selected according to the nature of the contamination.
Where necessary, chemical cleaning may be supported by brushing, wiping or other mechanical methods. If the component is to be relubricated or directly reassembled after cleaning, it is important to ensure that no undesirable cleaning residues remain on the surface that could interfere with the subsequent process.
When a metal component is to undergo painting or the application of a protective coating, degreasing becomes part of a more comprehensive surface preparation process. Where required, neutralization and ionic residue control may be incorporated following degreasing. The product and cleaning method should be selected by considering the type of metal, existing surface coating, nature of the contamination and the subsequent treatment to be applied to the component.
