Overcoming Severe Foaming to Achieve Up to 90% Cleaner Components at 400 Bar Pressure

About the company

A precision automotive component manufacturing plant running high-pressure cylinder head washing lines needed stable, high-performance cleaning results.

The Challenge

The plant was facing massive foaming issues during high-pressure washing operations using their existing chemical. This heavy foam disrupted machine performance, made it hard to maintain stable cleaning cycles, and risked failing the cleanliness requirement of 15 mg Millipore value.

The Solution

To solve this, we introduced our specialized low-foaming washing chemical, SUPRACLEAN M 95 HP, designed specifically for heavy-duty, high-pressure industrial washing systems.

Result

During the trial conducted at 400 bar pressure and 50°C bath temperature, SUPRACLEAN M 95 HP delivered exceptional cleanliness:

Delivered complete part cleanliness of 4.00 mg, ~73% lower than the maximum requirement
Achieved 1.50 mg oil hole cleanliness, 90% lower than the maximum requirement
Eliminated foam generation even under intense 400 bar spray pressure.

Testimonial

"High-pressure washing at 400 bar used to cause severe foaming that kept messing up our washing cycles. SUPRACLEAN M 95 HP completely stopped the foam and brought our oil hole cleanliness down to 1.5 mg, well below our 15 mg limit. Our parts are cleaner than ever, and our line runs smoothly."
