Vacuum Processing Systems
Precision cleaning & surface preparation
Looking for a method of cleaning hard-to-reach areas, such as the IDs of long, bent tube or pipe? Vacuum cycle nucleation (VCN) is an immersion process suited to both aqueous and solvent cleaning applications. VCN functions by modulating the pressure in the process chamber above and below the vapor pressure of the cleaning solution, causing millions of small bubbles to form and burst at the contamination sites. The VCN process has been shown to be non-damaging to surfaces and requires lower chemical concentrations to achieve the desired level of cleanliness.

Cleaning tube and pipe from the inside out
Tube and pipe producers and fabricators depend on many processes for cleaning tube and pipe—many of which have been used successfully for decades—but cleaning the interior thoroughly, especially when the ID is small, remains a challenge. A time-tested process, vacuum nucleation cleaning (VCN), fills this niche.
