The SCHWING Group
SCHWING Technologies GmbH
SCHWING is the only manufacturer worldwide that offers all advanced thermal cleaning technologies that remove polymers and organic contaminants from metallic tools and machine parts of any type and dimension.
In addition to (vacuum) pyrolysis plants and fluidized bed systems for thermal cleaning, SCHWING also designs and manufactures application-specific fluidized bed reactors for the thermo-chemical conversion of powdery substances by means of flowing reaction gases in variable atmospheres.
SCHWING Thermal Solutions GmbH
SCHWING Thermal Solutions GmbH produces and runs particularly efficient, energy-saving and environmentally friendly industrial furnace systems in close cooperation with the heat treatment and plant engineering experts of the SCHWING Group.
As a specialist for the material-specific heat treatment of industrial products made of a wide range of materials and from various industries, SCHWING develops and realizes any desired circulating air heat treatment plant according to the customer's specific application requirements.
Schwing Verfahrenstechnik GmbH
Schwing Verfahrenstechnik GmbH is considered a pioneer and expert for the professional use including maintenance and calibration of devices and systems for measuring density, flow, concentration and viscosity in process measurement technology.
Safety engineering products for the operation of plants for the chemical or petrochemical and other industries as well as specific consulting and training round off the range of services.
5 advantages of SCHWING
Technology leadership plus innovation competence
As the only manufacturer worldwide SCHWING offers all advanced thermal cleaning systems for the removal of polymers and organic contaminations from metal components and tools.
This enables SCHWING to deliver the best respective ecological and economical solution for any requirement, tool component or polymer – all based on state-of-the-art German engineering.
The competence and expertise of SCHWING with thermal and thermo-chemical fluidized bed applications up to 1100 °C complement the technological performance portfolio of thermal cleaning in an ideal manner and form the basis for numerous innovative applications.
In plant engineering and application results
SCHWING ensures optimally cleaned parts, completely free from polymer and carbon residues, and this even with the smallest bore holes, for example in the case of microfiber spin nozzles or hot channel tools, screens or filters. Even highly sensitive parts remain guaranteed mechanically and thermally intact. The subsequent easy removal of the cleaned parts saves time and prevents damage. This means for the user: Longer service life of tools and parts, longer running times of the production plants and thus lower costs.
Thinking responsibly, acting sustainably
The thermal cleaning systems from SCHWING exclusively work with thermal energy; the use of cleaning chemicals or reaction materials is completely done without. Thermal cleaning systems and fluidized bed systems from SCHWING are approved and used in all countries around the world.
All SCHWING systems provide integrated or separate exhaust air cleaning. This ensures compliance with emission regulations and avoidance of unpleasant odors. No contaminated waste water or toxic waste are produced.
Protection and safety for operators, processes and products
With sophisticated (PLC) system control concepts and the consistent avoidance of chemicals, reactive substances and critical waste SCHWING offers maximum safety for the operator and the operation of the plant.
In all cleaning and treatment processes special loading systems together with sophisticated control engineering prevent any possible mechanical or thermal damage of the treated parts and guarantee maximum reproducibility of the results achieved.
Shortening process times, increasing efficiency
SCHWING utilizes the maximum loading capacities of its systems, using loading techniques adapted especially to the properties of the parts to be cleaned or treated, without compromising the cleaning or treatment results.
Whether thermal cleaning, heat treatment or thermo-chemical reactions: Shortest possible process times, reduced user responsibility, maximum process reliability, integrated environmental protection as well as low energy consumption make SCHWING systems a cost-efficient solution with maximum customer benefit.
