SCHWING is the only manufacturer worldwide who offers all advanced thermal cleaning technologies for the removal of polymers and organic contaminations from metal tools and machine parts of any type and size. Whether using pyrolysis, thermal decomposition under vacuum conditions or a thermal conversion process in a fluidized bed, SCHWING masters all methods to clean components without any residues.

Thermal cleaning methods

With temperatures from approx. 430 °C organic substances (polymers/plastics) are decomposed into low temperature carbonization gas and carbon and removed in this manner from the tools and machine parts. This process is called pyrolysis. With thermal cleaning, the actual pyrolysis phase is followed by a thermal oxidation phase where the remaining carbon is completely removed.
