WET & SOLVENT CLEANING MEDIA FOR PARTS CLEANING EXCELLENCE
Wet Cleaning Solutions
In industrial parts cleaning, wet media are used in 70-90% of all cleaning processes. These include water-based solutions - similar to detergents used in dishwashing or laundry - as well as non-aqueous solvents.
For each cleaning challenge, PERO's engineers select the optimal cleaning medium, carefully balancing performance, environmental impact, and cost-effectiveness.
Understanding Contamination
Manufacturing processes require specialized consumables and process chemicals that leave residues on parts. The specific materials used and machining processes determine the type of contamination that must be removed to achieve technical cleanliness standards.
Environmental Considerations
When evaluating cleaning media, PERO takes a comprehensive approach to environmental impact. We assess energy consumption, resource utilization, handling safety, and measures to prevent environmental contamination.
The method of treating and recycling the cleaning medium within the machine often has the greatest impact on a process's overall environmental footprint.
PERO's Cleaning Media Solutions
Water based cleaning
Water-Based Cleaning
Advanced Aqueous Cleaning Technology
PERO's water-based solutions (acidic, neutral, or alkaline) effectively remove particulate contamination from surfaces. Our specially formulated aqueous detergents disperse particles and manage emulsions while protecting part surfaces.
When required, our aqueous media can also modify surface properties through passivation, phosphating, or pickling. In all applications, PERO's advanced filtration and treatment systems ensure optimal performance and extended media life.
Water-based solutions excel as powerful detergents for precision cleaning.
Cleaning with solvents
Solvent-Based Cleaning
High-Efficiency Solvent Technology
PERO's solvent-based systems utilize hydrocarbons and modified alcohols with flash points >55°C, as well as halogenated hydrocarbons. These solvents effectively dissolve and remove contaminants without chemical reactions.
Key advantages include shorter cycle times, energy-efficient drying, minimal solvent consumption, extended media service life, and simplified treatment processes. For compatible applications, solvent-based cleaning often delivers the most efficient results.
Solvents excel as powerful degreasing agents for precision cleaning.

Optimizing Cleaning Performance
The tighter the space between parts, the more challenging it becomes to remove particles and contaminants. PERO's engineers work with you to optimize part handling and carrier design for maximum cleaning effectiveness.
Comprehensive Cleaning Methods
PERO's systems utilize wet media in single or multi-bath configurations where parts are cleaned, rinsed, and optionally treated with preservation agents.
Compliance and Safety Assurance
PERO ensures all cleaning methods comply with applicable regulations at local, national, and international levels. Our focus on safe handling and effective treatment of cleaning media is fundamental to our assessment of cleaning challenges and selection of optimal solutions.
