Advanced Cleaning of Metal Coils

How a Firbimatic System Transformed Production

— 12 / 09 / 2025 In the processing of stainless-steel tubes and coils, as well as special alloys, cleaning is not a minor detail but a fundamental requirement to guarantee performance and reliability in the most critical applications. Industries such as oil & gas, energy, and chemicals demand perfectly treated components, free from impurities, capable of meeting strict regulations and ensuring operational continuity throughout the subsequent stages of the production chain.
A leading international group in the production of metal coils faced a complex challenge: achieving impeccable cleaning standards even on internal diameters as small as 2 mm, while maintaining high production volumes and reducing environmental impact.

A High-Precision Technological Challenge

The key issues were clear:

ensuring complete removal of oils, particles, and residues from extremely narrow passages and lengths exceeding 150 meters;
guaranteeing fast cycle times to manage large-scale orders;
balancing productivity and sustainability through optimized consumption and more efficient processes.

The Tailor-Made Solution: MDK 1300V

Firbimatic responded with the design of a dedicated system, the MDK 1300V, specifically engineered to meet the customer’s cleaning and performance requirements.
The system integrates:

an automated loading and unloading unit, reducing handling times;
a dual washing chamber, capable of treating up to 10 coils simultaneously for a total length of over 800 meters;
continuous filtration, ensuring process consistency and efficiency;
a double-distillation unit for solvent recovery and reuse;
an intuitive control panel with real-time monitoring, guaranteeing precision and traceability.

Tangible Benefits for Production

Thanks to the adoption of the Firbimatic system, the company achieved measurable improvements in multiple areas:

superior cleaning, compliant with international standards, even for the smallest internal diameters;
increased productivity, with optimized cycle times and enhanced order fulfillment capacity;
reduced operating costs, through solvent recovery and lower energy consumption;
more reliable processes, with a sharp decrease in waste and higher consistency in quality.
