Specialty Cleaning

Macfab offers specialty cleaning in an ISO compliant cleanroom meeting level 7 requirements. Our customers achieve financial savings when components shipped to them require no additional cleaning or finishing on their part. Our internal capability provides you end-to-end solutions for your precision components and sub-assemblies, reducing supply chain risks and transportation costs in addition to directly reducing the paid cost for the part – ultimately lowering your total cost of ownership.

The growing trend of customers having their non-core services outsourced to trusted partners, Macfab responded by significantly investing in specialized finishing and cleaning capabilities that are a direct, logical and cost-effective extension of our machining and manufacturing operations.

The following table is a quick overview of cleaning methods and their benefits.

CNC Milling for Custom & Mass Manufacturing Solutions

Macfab follows the ISO Standard 16232 Cleanliness of components and systems and confidently achieves a contamination level below 6 done by utilizing these tight controls:

  • Water purification using R.O., ultra-filtration, de-ionization, UV sterilization
  • High-purity aqueous & non-aqueous cleaning solutions (HPLC grade)
  • All waste solvents purified and recycled

Internally cleaning parts strategically aligns with Macfab’s on site coating processes.  The immediate cost elimination of transportation is not the only or most impactful on cost of ownership.  Reducing the time between cleaning and coat reduces the chance of corrosion or handling damage to occur.  By running exceptionally clean parts through our own coating process, Macfab’s processes are more reliable and have greater capacity for production.

Macfab’s engineering team looks forward to reviewing your part’s cleanliness requirements and suggesting the optimal process to achieve a clean cost effective part.
