Chemical consumption — Many eyeglass manufacturers (DE, IT, USA)

Cleaning and chemical use optimised across multiple production sites. Rework rates dropped significantly. For several clients, chemical consumption reduced by approx. two-thirds — with improved cleanliness results.

Custom cleaner development — high purity

Multiple purpose-built cleaning agents developed and production-tested. All agents now in active commercial use, sold through partner network.

Cleaning chemistry simplified — large manufacturer

Three different cleaners replaced by a single agent at under 1% concentration. Results improved. Validation accelerated because the agent was already in use elsewhere in the same facility.

Dosing automation

Setting up many automatic dosing systems even of multiple cleaners in a continuous cleaning line.

Process setup for ultra-clean optics — high requirements

Implementation of a cleaning process for optics, particle-free down to below 100 nm. Testing with a special scanning microscope. Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) performed.

Quality control

Hard coating optimisation — eyeglass manufacturers (DE, IT)

Dip and spin coating processes optimised alongside cleaning. Rework rate for special glass types reduced significantly.

Example: Concentration

Cleaning tank: Change of concentration over several hours due to carryover.

Cooling lubricant substitution

Surface contamination traced back to the cooling lubricant, not the cleaning process. New lubricant specified — problem resolved without changing the cleaning line at all.

Example: Comparison

Simple comparison of two different cleaners.

Polishing agent removal — multi-chamber system

Targeted modification of existing chemistry. Major improvement in polishing residue removal from optical glass. Stabilised through regular maintenance protocol.

Example: Enrichment

Rinsing tank: Enrichment from the previous cleaning tank due to carryover of detergent.
