Cleanseal C – Co-Solvent Ultrasonic Cleaning System
Advanced Co-Solvent Precision Cleaning Technology from MEG S.r.l., for use with Microcare Tergo Fluids
The Cleanseal C – Co-Solvent Ultrasonic Cleaning System, manufactured by MEG S.r.l., is a high-performance, fully enclosed industrial solvent cleaning system designed for demanding precision cleaning applications where exceptional cleanliness, process flexibility and production efficiency are essential.
Engineered to remove challenging contamination from complex manufactured components, the Cleanseal C combines advanced solvent cleaning technology with ultrasonic agitation, spray-under-immersion cleaning and automated component handling.
Its innovative dual-sump configuration provides enhanced process flexibility compared with conventional mono-solvent systems, making it particularly suitable for applications involving heavy machining oils, greases, waxes, flux residues and other persistent industrial contaminants.
Designed for manufacturers requiring consistent cleaning results and increased production capacity, the Cleanseal C incorporates a twin-axis automated handling system that supports multiple workbaskets, dedicated loading and unloading stations, and integration with multi-basket conveyor arrangements.
This combination of advanced cleaning technology and automated materials handling makes the Cleanseal C an ideal solution for precision engineering businesses seeking to improve component cleanliness, reduce manual handling and optimise production throughput.

How the Cleanseal C Co-Solvent Cleaning System Works
The Cleanseal C uses a sophisticated co-solvent cleaning process incorporating two solvent sumps within a fully enclosed cleaning system.
This arrangement allows the cleaning process to be configured to suit different contamination types, component materials and cleanliness requirements.
By combining effective solvent chemistry with mechanical cleaning action, the Cleanseal C can tackle stubborn contamination that may be difficult to remove using conventional aqueous cleaning or simpler solvent cleaning processes.
The system can incorporate several complementary cleaning technologies, including ultrasonic agitation, spray-under-immersion cleaning and solvent vapour treatment, depending on the selected equipment configuration and process requirements.
Dual-Sump Co-Solvent Cleaning Technology
A key feature of the Cleanseal C is its dual-sump cleaning configuration, providing greater flexibility in solvent management and cleaning process development.
The co-solvent approach enables the use of a cleaning process tailored to contaminants requiring enhanced solvency, including heavy oils, waxes, greases and difficult-to-remove production residues.
The dual-sump arrangement can support separate cleaning and rinsing functions, depending on the solvent chemistry and system configuration.
This enables manufacturers to develop cleaning cycles that combine effective contaminant removal with controlled final cleaning conditions.
For applications requiring higher operating temperatures or more aggressive cleaning performance, the Cleanseal C provides additional process flexibility, subject to solvent compatibility and equipment operating limits.
Ultrasonic Cleaning for Complex Components
The Cleanseal C can utilise ultrasonic agitation to enhance contaminant removal from intricate and difficult-to-access component surfaces.
Ultrasonic cleaning works by transmitting high-frequency sound waves through the cleaning liquid, producing microscopic cavitation bubbles.
As these bubbles form and collapse, they generate a powerful cleaning action that helps loosen and remove contamination from component surfaces.
This technology is particularly effective for components featuring:
Complex internal geometries and narrow passages
Blind holes, threaded features and recesses
Precision-machined surfaces and tight tolerances
Intricate assemblies and difficult-to-access areas
Components contaminated with persistent machining oils, greases or processing residues
Ultrasonic cleaning provides a highly effective method of removing contamination while reducing the need for direct mechanical contact with sensitive or intricate components.
Spray-Under-Immersion Cleaning
In addition to ultrasonic agitation, the Cleanseal C can incorporate spray-under-immersion cleaning to provide further mechanical cleaning action.
This process uses directed solvent flow while components remain immersed in the cleaning liquid.
The resulting fluid movement helps dislodge and remove contaminants, particularly from exposed surfaces and areas where controlled solvent circulation can improve cleaning effectiveness.
Spray-under-immersion technology can be particularly beneficial when processing components contaminated with heavy oils, greases and other strongly adhering residues.
Depending on the application, ultrasonic agitation and spray-under-immersion cleaning can be selected to optimise the cleaning process for different component types and contamination challenges.
Solvent Vapour Cleaning and Final Rinsing
Where specified, the cleaning sequence can incorporate solvent vapour treatment to support final cleaning and the removal of residual contamination.
During vapour cleaning, solvent vapour condenses on cooler component surfaces, helping dissolve and carry away remaining soluble residues.
When combined with appropriate cleaning and rinsing stages, this process can provide a high standard of surface cleanliness for components requiring further manufacturing, inspection or assembly.
Twin-Axis Automated Handling System
One of the principal advantages of the Cleanseal C is its twin-axis automated workbasket handling system, designed to support flexible production arrangements and increased processing capacity.
Unlike simpler single-axis handling systems, the twin-axis configuration provides additional movement and positioning capabilities, allowing workbaskets to be transferred efficiently through the cleaning sequence.
This arrangement can support automated loading and unloading, multi-basket conveyor systems and the processing of more than one workbasket within the overall cleaning operation.
Increased Production Throughput
The ability to manage multiple workbaskets helps manufacturers increase production efficiency and reduce unnecessary waiting times between cleaning cycles.
Depending on the equipment configuration, the system can coordinate workbasket movements to support continuous or semi-continuous production workflows.
This is particularly valuable for businesses processing larger quantities of precision components or operating multiple manufacturing lines.
Automated Loading and Unloading
The Cleanseal C can be configured with dedicated loading and unloading stations, reducing the need for operators to manually transfer workbaskets between process stages.
Automated handling can help improve workplace efficiency, minimise component handling and provide more predictable production scheduling.
Multi-Basket Conveyor Integration
For higher-volume applications, the twin-axis handling arrangement can support integration with multi-basket conveyor systems.
This enables workbaskets to be presented to and removed from the cleaning equipment in a controlled sequence, improving material flow and supporting integration with existing production operations.
Consistent and Repeatable Processing
Automated handling helps ensure that workbaskets are positioned and transferred consistently throughout the cleaning cycle.
By reducing manual intervention, the Cleanseal C supports repeatable processing conditions and more reliable cleaning performance across production batches.
