In an era where industrial manufacturing must balance quality enhancement, cost efficiency, and sustainable practices, the significance of optimized cleaning processes cannot be understated. Parts2clean, the premier international trade fair for industrial parts and surface cleaning, is set to unveil the latest solutions, trends, and insights in this critical field. The 20th edition of the event will take place from September 26 to 28, 2023, at the Stuttgart Exhibition Center in southern Germany.
The automotive, aerospace, electronics, and medical industries are among those striving for continuous improvement while minimizing energy and resource consumption. As demand for higher cleanliness specifications grows, parts cleaning processes must evolve to meet new requirements, especially in eliminating residual filmic contamination. Achieving both product competitiveness and sustainability is essential. Christoph Nowak, Project Director at Deutsche Messe, states, “parts2clean offers ideas, solutions, and services to adapt all steps of parts and surface cleaning, making them future-proof.”
In an environment marked by technological and social shifts, manufacturers face the challenge of designing intricate components with greater precision and reduced weight. With materials ranging from lightweight aluminum to heavier stainless steels, the need for efficient cleaning processes remains constant. This is particularly vital as manufacturers aim to meet stringent cleanliness requirements without compromising on productivity or environmental impact.
The 20th anniversary of parts2clean will showcase a comprehensive range of exhibitors from the industrial cleaning technology sector. Notably, market and technology leaders will introduce new and refined products tailored to an international trade audience. High Purity, a highlight topic, reflects the expanded scope of the event, including plant and process engineering solutions for high-tech components and a diverse array of products for cleanroom setup and optimization.
The event will highlight cutting-edge process technologies and cleanliness control solutions, meeting the growing demand for higher cleanliness standards across industries. Additionally, energy-efficient drying alternatives will be presented, enhancing resource efficiency in wet-chemical cleaning systems. Artificial intelligence (AI) applications in industrial parts cleaning will also be explored, introducing new possibilities for cleaning media, bath monitoring, water treatment, and more.
The supporting program at parts2clean ensures effective knowledge transfer, addressing the challenges and trends in component cleaning. The special show “Process Chain Technical Cleanliness,” organized with the CEC (Cleaning Excellence Center), will provide insights into achieving component cleanliness while maintaining quality assurance through innovative technologies. The FiT2clean Award, valued at 10,000 euros, will be presented during the event, recognizing excellence in cleanliness practices.
The Expert Forum program will feature insightful lectures on industry trends and developments, including the importance of cleaning in cutting-edge technologies. Dr. Nicole Smits, Cleanliness Expert at ASML Netherlands B.V., will deliver a keynote lecture on the significance of cleanliness requirements for advanced technologies. Topics ranging from medical applications to precision optics will be covered in detail, offering attendees a comprehensive view of the advancements in industrial cleaning processes.
Parts2clean continues to serve as a crucial platform for manufacturers seeking the latest advancements in industrial cleaning technology. As industries strive for sustainability, efficiency, and product excellence, the event remains a beacon of innovation, offering practical solutions for cleaner, more efficient manufacturing processes.
