NiagaraUP

Cleanroom-ready with VIT technology

The NiagaraUP is ideal for applications in the semiconductor, optics, medical technology and precision engineering industries – wherever the highest level of cleanliness is required in the smallest possible space. Equipped with BvL’s innovative Vacuum Impulse Technology (VIT), the NiagaraUP meets the most demanding requirements on particulate, molecular, filmic, and even atomic levels. All process steps are carried out space-efficiently in a single chamber. The system is available in various sizes and configurations and can be seamlessly integrated into cleanroom environments.

Processing steps

The cleaning process takes place in a single chamber and can be individually configured in multiple stages:

Spray cleaning
Flood cleaning (stepless partial flooding, full/vacuum flooding, recirculation flooding)
Ultrasonic cleaning (single or multi-frequency systems)
Innovative BvL vacuum pulse technology (deep cleaning for capillary component structures, boreholes, and internal channels)
Efficient chamber cleaning with UPW water (ultra-pure water) between treatment steps
Continuous filtration
Rapid and complete draining
Drying process – alternative or combinable: Circulation air, hot air with HEPA H13 filter, infrared drying, vacuum drying

Options and supplements
