Overview

At the Branch Lab Processing Technology of the Fraunhofer IVV in Dresden we develop efficient processing and cleaning processes. Using modern data analysis methods, we identify critical points and potentials in established processes and create innovative concepts for the industry 4.0.
Industrial Cleaning Technologies technical center:

Three robotic test rigs of different sizes (ABB IRB120, IRB2600, IRB4600) for the development of innovative automation processes and operator-like reproducible cleaning tests
Several dedicated spray cleaning test rigs
Falling film test rig
Closed/pipe system CIP test rig
Large cleaning detergent supply tanks for the test rig (2000L & 3000L)
Industry level test tanks for tank cleaning tests in different sizes (10.000L & 1.000L)
Ultrasonic cleaning test rig
Cold-atmospheric pressure plasma cleaning test rig
Special cleaning technologies can be supplied to all test rigs: dry steam cleaning, CO2-cleaning, dry ice pellet cleaning
Laboratory for production of reproducible test soiling/contamination
Several optical contamination sensors to be supplied to all test rigs, based on the fluorescence method
