TECHNICAL SERVICES

We provide comprehensive technical services for developing and implementing cost- and performance-effective clean manufacturing programs.  We provide the creative aspects such as assessment, analysis, brainstorming and process (product) ideation, as well as the practical aspects such as design, reduction to practice, and testing new methods, processes and apparatuses.  Our creativity, experience and capabilities are broad-based and provide numerous innovation opportunities.

Our technical experience and services include:

  • CO2 Cleaning and Cooling Process Development and Validation
  • Clean-Build Protocol Design and Implementation
  • Automated Process Development
  • Collaborative Robot Automated Cell Design and Fabrication
  • 3D Design and Printing Services
  • DIY Clean Solution Development

Clean Process Development Services

We offer rental equipment for on-site trial testing as well as laboratory testing, contract services, and cleaning process development services.  We use best practices for optimum product and process design, development, and testing process.  We utilize the latest engineering design software as well as advanced rapid manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing technology.  We also provide PLC system, panel, and software design, as well as small form-factor collaborative robot automation and clean mini-environment integration.

We also provide a unique and collaborative do-it-yourself (DIY) service for developing your own precision cleaning, minimum quantity cooling-lubrication, and CO2-Air process fluids management systems.

  1. We ideate and design the clean manufacturing system, software, and accessories.
  2. You select or approve a preferred contract manufacturer or build-it-yourself.
  3. We work with your approved contract manufacturer to get the integrated system built, including delivery of our clean manufacturing products – CleanLogix PowerSno™ and PurCO2™ systems.
  4. We develop operations manual and training material content.

WHAT DO OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

The purpose of surface cleaning is to remove deposits that might cause damage through abrasion, absorption of acidic  gases, or serve as medium for mould growth.

Simple  dry cleaning of surfaces using erasers and sponges requires contact with surface which might also cause alteration of surface properties (flattening, eraser residues). With respect to basic requirement to avoid material degradation an alternative non-contact method might be  CO2 snow jet cleaning performed using a Precision Spray Cleaning Pen (SnoPen SP 2000, Cleanlogix).

Artificialy soiled samples of wood-based and cotton-based paper were cleaned by the CO2 snow jet with a carbon dioxide flow rate of 3.0 g/s and a nitrogen flow rate of 1.4 l/s and by the nitrogen jet at the same flow rate. Paralel samples were cleaned by traditional mechanical cleaning methods. The effect of treatment was evaluated by optical microscopy.

The results showed that the CO2 snow jet cleaning effectively removed particles in the lower layers of the paper surface, including interfiber spaces.

The CO2 snow jet cleaning compared with the mechanical dry cleaning showed similar effectiveness without any adverse effects on the paper surface. It was proved that the CO2 snow technique is a suitable method for cleaning common types of paper materials.

Clean Imagineering was able to quickly provide us a CO2 composite spray system as a rental unit to allow us to perform process trials and demonstrate its effectiveness. We only needed to provide compressed air and a liquid CO2 tank.  We had the unit for 2 months and were provided with good advice on initial instrument settings. In that time we were able to devise a safe and effective cleaning process for our sensitive micro-electronics assembly.

High Pressure Technologies, a supplier of High Pressure Testing equipment have been using Clean Imagineering for several years for High purity Cleaning of Pressure Gauges for the Aviation, Space and other industries, using their highly successful CO2 extraction methods. Applications involving high purity gases or Oxygen must be have products cleaned to meet the relevant specifications. Most pressure gauges are tested and/or calibrated by the manufacturer using mineral oils and are difficult to clean using traditional solvent cleaning methods. This is especially true when the gauges use bourdon tube internals where the internal orifice size is extremely small. Clean Imagineering have been able to provide us with cleanliness levels that have exceeded those previously obtained using solvent cleaning and which meet the stringent requirements of our customers.

The PowerSno rental from Clean Imagineering is efficient and cost effective. The Clean Imagineering representatives make sure to give you all of the necessary information to have a quick and successful rental period. Amanda, David, and Mack provided answers to every single one of my questions throughout the whole rental process. Their combined assistance allowed me to successfully run tests without an interruption.

" AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE" My engineer was tasked with finding a way to plasma etch polymer optics to meet my customer's deadline. With Clean Imagineering support and CO2 plasma systems, we achieved our goals. I was very pleased with the customer service provided to us.

Incredibly effective for certain applications. We build high precision laser machines that produce very fine debris that adheres to the surface after machining. Some of our applications typically require overnight cleaning in an ultrasonic with all sorts of chemicals, and the PowerSno legitimately cleans them better in under a minute. We’re amazed. We were skeptical at first, but their sales team helped us test with a few of our samples. Now we’ve had the unit for a few months and are very happy with it.
