Wire, strip and profile cleaning
Inline Wire & Strip Steam Cleaning
Evaluate continuous steam cleaning for wire, strip, and profiles before extrusion, coating, or forming. Match the cleaning tool, extraction, drying, and PLC integration to material geometry and actual line speed.
Engineered response
Continuous cleaning between existing machines
- Guided cleaning tool matched to diameter or profile
- Line-speed synchronization and PLC integration
- Extraction and drying before the next process
- Low-volume water use without a large immersion tank
Application proof
Start with the most relevant demonstrations.
Engineering discovery
The first questions determine whether steam is a fit.
Include typical and worst-case contamination in the test samples. Specify line speed, material diameter or width, travel direction, available space, and the dryness required at discharge.
No equipment model should be selected until the material, contamination, speed and required result are understood.
REA can evaluate the process around the existing line, including available space, controls, utilities and the condition required at discharge.
- Material, diameter, width and profile?
- Line speed and direction of travel?
- Contamination and current cleaning method?
- Available installation length and required dryness?
Testing invitation
Test the actual material before engineering the system.
Provide wire or strip samples, line speed and the result required before the next operation. REA can review the application, recommend a testing plan and define the information needed for an inline concept.
