The water necessary for machine operation is normally supplied directly from the customer’s water supply mains and is controlled via filling level sensors. Replenishment of the water and cleaning media is automatic. If multiple tanks are used simultaneously, water supply is available via cascade pumps at customer request. The media are returned from the process zones via a return line with an integrated screen. During this process, our specially developed sliding unit ensures that the various media will be returned to the correct tank if multiple cleaning and/or rinsing processes are used. All tanks are made of stainless steel and heat-insulated.

All media present in the machine are filtered and reintroduced into the circuit for an effluent-free machine operation.

The entire machine can be enclosed to reduce noise emissions. Large-surface doors will be integrated to ensure adequate accessibility for maintenance and inspection works.

To achieve maximum service life for cleaning fluids, the washing media can be filtered in many different ways. Coarse dirt is separated during a first phase while the medium is returned to the tank. Further residue is separated during full flow by a fine-mesh filter. This process can use a duplexed, double filter systems that can be switched over manually to allow filter changes during ongoing operation.

This equipment is standard in every Zippel cleaning system. For special needs, additional bath care systems are available as full-flow or bypass systems, including screen inserts, band filters, swarf conveyors, solenoid separators, three-phase centrifuges, evaporators, osmosis systems, etc. For oil separation, we recommend our proprietary, highly-effective ECOSEP gravity oil separator which works through coalescing action. It separates the oil, passes it into a separate tank, and returns the cleaned water into the container. Even physical water treatment is possible with this system.

There are a number of different systems available for part drying. Normally, side channel blowers or high-pressure fans are used for this purpose. These fans are designed specifically for the required volume flow and pressure rates and are adapted to the specified requirements. The air is applied to the workpieces either by a specially developed blasting pipe system (capillary system with electrically heated air) and/or blasting fan.  Air heaters may be used to increase the temperature.

A vapor exhaust system ensures the shortest-possible drying times. This unit is used to extract and actively re-condense vapors during the cleaning process while ejecting dried air into the environment. It is also possible to design a virtually exhaust-free system upon request. Another available drying method involves the use of infrared rays to heat the workpieces and evaporate the residual moisture.
