AtlanticTR

The inline solution for highest cleanliness requirements

Flexible immersion system for precision and high purity cleaning: The multi-chamber immersion system Atlantic is designed to meet the highest demands for removing the smallest particulate and filmic contaminants in precision and fine cleaning, up to the high purity level. It is an optimal inline solution for high throughput. In this multi-stage system, diﬀ erent cleaning processes can be applied. The modular design allows fl exible and customized adaptation to your requirements.

High Purity

Flexible system:

Material flow at a glance:

Custom system design allows optimum integration into your production process, such as flexible positioning of loading and discharging stations (inline)

Scalable:

The system can be scaled up or down to suit the customer’s requirements, allowing anything from ultra-small fine parts to large components with high batch weights to be cleaned

From a single source:

The immersion cleaning system can be combined with other water-based cleaning systems, taking the entire production process into account

Your advantages – not just clean, exquisitely clean!

Focus on your component:

The cleanliness requirements of your component determine the selection of the cleaning processes connected in series – for optimal results

Technology in detail

Cleaning technology

Perfectly coordinated combination of different cleaning procedures in a multi-stage system
Automated gantry transfer unit that can be programmed in a flexible sequence
Components can be moved via vertical oscillation and/or swiveling/rotation (optional)

Processing steps

The components are immersed into several basins with different treatment stages:

Immersion cleaning, immersion degreasing, phosphating, spraying, injection cleaning, ultrasound (optional), rinsing, passivating, drying (optional)
The treatment processes can be individually adjusted and are aligned with the cleanliness and drying result that needs to be achieved
Variable number of treatment basins possible

Options and supplements

Ultrasonic cleaning with sweep function (frequency modulation) in single, dual, or multi-frequency
Lifting motion for components inside the dip tank
Rotating baskets
Surface flooding in the individual baths
Cascade guiding
Filtration systems/oil separator
Ambient air, vacuum, or infrared drying
Various feed and removal systems
Custom-designed component carriers
Process reliability and quality control: RFID/barcode systems, connection to higher-level IT systems (e.g. OPC or customer’s own systems), Libelle

Smart Cleaning

Intelligent cleaning with BvL apps and digital networking. Transparent process information for predictive system diagnostics and maintenance: efficient and automatic.

High Purity Applications

The Atlantic reliably meets the demanding cleaning requirements of industries such as the semiconductor industry – particularly ultra-high vacuum technology – as well as the optical industry, medical technology industry and the cleaning of precision parts. It achieves particulate and molecular cleanliness at least at the Grade 2 level, typical for ultra-high vacuum applications, up to the Grade 1 level.

High purity: Cleanliness at the highest level

Meets high-purity requirements of the semiconductor industry and vacuum technology
Optimized for Clean Service Providers (CSP)
Achieving the required atomic percentage contamination limits for elemental surface contamination (HIO elements)
Uses DI water and UPW (Ultra Pure Water) for rinsing
Particulate and molecular cleaning with documented process quality

Technical highlights for high purity processes

Freely programmable cleaning cycles – individually adaptable
Ultrasonic cleaning, e.g., with 40 kHz and 75 kHz frequency modules
HEPA H13-filtered hot air and vacuum drying
Fine filtration of all media
Continuous pH and conductivity monitoring for process control
Flexible media use: DI water, tap water, UPW

High-purity water treatment – integrable

The ultrapure water used is supplied by a powerful ultrapure water treatment system with: particle filtration, softening, reverse osmosis, UV sterilization, ion exchange, nano- and ultrafiltration, TOC monitoring. Thus, water qualities with a conductivity of 0.06 μS/cm and a TOC value of 13.58 ppb are achieved.
