Reducing waste, preserving delicate surfaces, and optimizing production times—these were the goals of a leading premium faucet manufacturer that turned to Firbimatic.

The main challenge lay in the need to clean metal components with high-quality finishes, while avoiding any risk of scratches, abrasions, or surface damage during the cleaning cycle.

Firbimatic’s response was the design and integration of an automatic basket parts holder, a device capable of securely locking the components throughout the cleaning process. This eliminated the risk of undesired movement and ensured the preservation of the aesthetic integrity of the parts.

The Challenge: Protecting High-Finish Surfaces During Cleaning

In the premium faucet sector, even the smallest aesthetic defect can compromise the perceived value of the finished product. The client required a system able to:

• Prevent any surface damage during the cleaning cycle;

• Maintain a high standard of cleanliness, even on complex and delicate parts;

• Reduce post-wash inspections, streamlining the production line and improving efficiency.

The Firbimatic Solution: A Tailor-Made Cleaning System

To meet these needs, Firbimatic developed a Multisolvent 300 V system, integrating an innovative automatic basket parts holder. This device automatically detects the quantity of components and locks them in place, preventing any movement during washing.

Key Features of the System:

• Automatic basket parts holder
  Adjusts clamping pressure according to the load, avoiding deformation and protecting chrome-plated, brushed, or polished surfaces.

• Fully vacuum-based cycle
  The entire process takes place under controlled vacuum conditions, reducing solvent emissions and ensuring compliance with environmental and safety regulations.

• Dual heated and insulated solvent tanks
  Optimized thermal management maintains stable temperatures, improves energy efficiency, and ensures consistent and repeatable cleaning.

• Automatic maintenance program
  An intelligent system schedules maintenance cycles, ensuring consistent performance without frequent manual interventions.

• Continuous distillation with automatic expulsion of oily residues
  Keeps solvent purity high in every cycle, reducing contamination and improving cleaning quality.

• Configurable piezoelectric ultrasonic system
  Available with 1, 2, or 3 transducers, it ensures targeted action even on complex geometries and hard-to-reach areas.

Results Achieved: Improved Quality and Productivity

With the implementation of the automatic basket parts holder and the integration of the Multisolvent 300 V system, the client achieved concrete results:

• Elimination of scratches and aesthetic defects, thanks to the complete immobilization of parts;

• Uniform and consistent cleaning, even on delicate components with complex shapes;

• Reduced post-clean inspection times, improving production line efficiency;

• Increased perceived quality of the finished product, reinforcing the company’s premium positioning in the market.
