The significance of Technical Cleanliness has largely increased in the past years. The widely adopted industry-specific cleaning standards and newly introduced emission norms make cleaning a quality-relevant manufacturing process.
This article covers the basics of parts washing systems, cleaning tasks, cleanliness requirements, and why they are important to component manufacturers. Read more such articles at the Ecoclean India website (www.ecoclean-india.com).
Ultrasonic cleaning, in simple terms, is a common technique for high-quality cleaning, that produces ultrasonic waves in fluid and creates microscopic implosions to remove the contamination. Typically, this method is used when the contamination has tightly adhered to solid surfaces of the parts, blinds holes, etc. Ultrasonic sound waves are transmitted in the fluid with a frequency of greater than 25 kHz to create the ultrasonic effect. The components used in the US system and their configuration plays important role in effective cleaning.
This article covers the basic functions of the key components used in the ultrasonic cleaning system. Read more such articles at the Ecoclean India website (www.ecoclean-india.com).
Industry Presence: Exhibitions, Seminars, Events
IMTEX Forming 2022
After almost 2 years, we were at IMTEX forming at BIEC, Bangalore, India from 16th to 21st June 2022. Ecoclean India participated in this exhibition with an aim to interact face to face with potential customers, extend its business network, present state-of-the-art cleaning technologies, create new opportunities, and improve Ecoclean brand awareness.
With a strategic intent to engage the visitors, we designed a booth that showcased our parts cleaning solutions to a wide range of industries with a live demo of our aqueous-based cleaning machine. We displayed made in India, “EcoCmini – compact aqueous-based cleaning machine”, at our booth. The EcoCmini cleaning system is an economical, highly efficient system with a modular design that can be used for a very wide range of Industrial parts cleaning jobs. Based on the features installed the EcoCmini is suitable for not only removing oil and emulsion from mass-produced parts but also for the fine cleaning of assembly parts.
Even after the pandemic, the event was extremely successful, and we were able to connect with potential clients, present our solutions, give a live demonstration of our cleaning machine, and generate some leads.

Recent Collaborative Initiatives
SBS Ecoclean Group and VC 999 collaborate on cleaning and packaging
Manufacturers of medical technology products worldwide must meet ever higher demands and stricter regulatory requirements of the FDA and MDR. Since the introduction of the MDR final cleaning and packaging have been critical elements of the product. This leads to a considerable economical effort for medical technology companies. To optimally support and relieve companies in these processes, the SBS Ecoclean Group, a global provider of turnkey cleaning solutions for medical technology, and the globally active VC999 Medical, a business unit specializing in packaging machines and pre-validated materials of VC999 Verpackungssysteme AG, entered into close cooperation. It enables the planning and worldwide delivery of complete turnkey solutions for cleaning and sterile packaging, including packaging validation, from a single source.
The SBS Ecoclean Group and VC999 Medical have concluded a worldwide sales and service cooperation with the aim of minimizing both the time and financial effort involved in certifying and validating the cleaning and sterile packaging of medical technology products. Ecoclean supplements its turnkey range for medical technology with the MDR and GMP-compliant packaging systems of VC999 Medical, which, depending on the application, already contain pre-validated packaging materials (PAPE, Tyvek, and paper/foil).
Indian Machine Tools Industry Vision
Manufacturing has emerged as one of the high-growth sectors in India. The entire ecosystem of manufacturing space is getting benefitted from the Indian government’s several notable initiatives and policy support. For OEMs and their suppliers in India, the increasing adoption of technologies, regulations, and standards are opening up attractive opportunities for market growth. Thus, the machine tools industry is becoming more prominent in modern manufacturing operations across a variety of industries.
Bulk and hassle-free production with minimum cost and effort are the machine tool industry’s expectations. Ecoclean strives to meet this by developing cutting-edge technologies and solutions for industrial parts cleaning and surface treatment applications.
With the growing demands for superior quality, accuracy, and compliance with stringent regulations, precision cleaning is becoming more significant for component manufacturers. As an example, cleanliness specifications for particles just a few 100 microns in size are commonplace in many industries today. Especially in the case of machined components with complex geometries.
Ecoclean’s industrial parts cleaning systems offer the perfect solution for virtually all types of cleaning tasks; be it for parts made of metal, plastic, ceramic, or glass. Our solutions for the cleaning tasks are divided into single piece cleaning with flexible robotic cells for special requirements of the automotive industry and into batch cleaning with innovative standardized as well as individually customized cleaning systems for various applications from the production of mechanical components to parts for the aerospace and military industries or precision components for the medical and optical industries.
Organizational Vision
