PERO: Pioneering Innovation in Parts Cleaning Technology

65+ Years of Engineering Excellence

For more than six decades, PERO has led the industry with groundbreaking innovations in industrial parts cleaning systems. From advanced water-based cleaning units to revolutionary refrigeration technology and hermetically sealed systems, PERO consistently establishes new technological benchmarks that impress both customers and industry experts alike.

Our commitment to innovation has earned PERO numerous accolades, including the prestigious German Innovation Award for our integrated treatment systems.

  • 1958

    Introduction of revolutionary refrigeration technology in parts cleaning, cutting solvent consumption by 50% while improving performance.

  • 1964

    Development and manufacture of advanced water-based cleaning units – launch of the groundbreaking ROBOMAT, which replaced traditional steam jet cleaners in maintenance operations.

  • 1978

    Introduction of the first front-loading machines for industrial parts cleaning – establishing an industry standard in hermetically sealed cleaning systems that continues today.

  • 1985

    PERO wins the prestigious German Innovation Award for its pioneering integrated treatment system for solvents.

  • 1986

    Setting Industry Standards for Emissions Control
    When establishing permissible limits for solvent consumption, German regulators adopted PERO's innovative, hermetically sealed systems as the industry benchmark – recognizing PERO's leadership in environmentally responsible technology.

  • 1991

    Superior Performance Despite Regulatory Changes
    Following the FCHC ban, PERO developed a proprietary, compliant refrigerant solution that maintained excellent cleaning results while meeting all new environmental regulations.

  • 1998

    Introduction of the PERO V1, the first water-cooled vacuum degreasing system. All solvent-containing components operate under vacuum with continuous leak monitoring. The system processes at significantly lower temperatures than conventional machines, protecting both components and cleaning media.

    Revolutionizing Safety Standards
    While competitors relied solely on negative pressure for explosion prevention in hydrocarbon cleaning systems, PERO raised the bar by introducing comprehensive qualified explosion protection systems.

  • 2001-2004

    Expansion of PERO's V series with new models ranging from V0 (batch size: 380 x 220 x 200 mm) to V5 (designed for Euro wire mesh containers), providing scalable solutions for diverse manufacturing needs.

  • 2004

    Launch of the Versatile "Universal" Cleaning System
    This groundbreaking system operates with modified alcohols, hydrocarbons (flash point > 55°C), or halogenated hydrocarbons. The design allows rapid cleaning medium changes without mechanical modifications, delivering unprecedented flexibility.

  • 2009

    Introduction of the PERO R1, first model in the R series succeeding the V series. The R1 transformed parts cleaning by delivering the fastest cycle times in its class – cutting processing time nearly in half while doubling throughput rates. Enhanced technical cleanliness came standard, with automated filter-drying, oil discharge, and maintenance programs improving user experience and cost efficiency.

  • 2012

    Launch of the PERO R2, replacing the V2 model. Its innovative design established new performance benchmarks with significantly higher throughput rates at reduced energy consumption, substantially lowering per-part cleaning costs.

  • 2013

    Introduction of the S1, providing an accessible entry point for solvent-based parts cleaning.
    Celebrating 60 Years of Innovation
    PERO expanded its comprehensive portfolio to include everything from manual spot-cleaning devices to powerful high-tech systems for large batches and precision cleaning requirements.

  • 2014

    Launch of PERO R4 and R5 models, completing the replacement of the V series with more efficient, higher-performing systems.

  • 2015

    Introduction of the R0 model for solvent-based parts cleaning, finalizing the advanced R series that replaced the entire V product line.

  • 2016

    Addition of the innovative NEPTUN to PERO's water-based cleaning system lineup, expanding capabilities for aqueous cleaning applications.

  • 2017

    PERO introduces automatic shift functionality for all R-series models (R0-R5), delivering unmatched operator convenience in solvent-based parts cleaning.

  • 2018

    Development of a completely redesigned, compact automatic charging unit for the R1 model, providing enhanced loading and positioning capabilities for parts carriers, further improving productivity and ease of use.
