Chemical-free industrial cleaning

Industrial Steam Cleaning for Chemical Reduction

Evaluate whether controlled steam, mechanical action, and extraction can reduce chemical washing for your actual material and residue. Some applications still require detergent, rinsing, or a separate drying stage.

Engineered response

A measurable alternative to tanks, solvents and high-volume washdown

  • Steam parameters developed for the contaminant and substrate
  • Low-volume water use with localized extraction and recovery
  • Manual or inline configurations for the production requirement
  • PLC monitoring, recipes and interlocks for repeatable operation

Engineering discovery

The first questions determine whether steam is a fit.

Compare both methods at the required production rate. Measure cleanliness, dryness, water and chemical consumption, waste handling, and energy use; select the process that meets your acceptance criteria.

No equipment model should be selected until the part, contamination, production rate and required result are understood.

REA can compare the current chemistry, operating cost and required output condition with a steam test using actual production samples.

  1. Substrate and contaminant composition?
  2. Current chemical, temperature and process time?
  3. Production rate and cleanliness requirement?
  4. Wastewater, worker-safety or downstream constraints?

Testing invitation

Compare steam against the current chemical process.

Send representative samples, the current process parameters and the required result. REA can develop a side-by-side test plan focused on cleaning performance, water use, drying and integration feasibility.
