With the CO2 snow jet technology, specific areas of components can be targeted for dry, residue-free cleaning, for example before or after laser welding processes. (Image source: acp – advanced clean production)

The CO2 snow cleaning allows for the dry and gentle removal of particles after laser direct structuring of MIDs. (Image source: acp – advanced clean production) / A jet of CO2 snow removes particles in a dry and gentle process after laser direct structuring of MIDs. (Photo: acp – advanced clean production)

Compared with conventional cleaning methods, such as ultrasonic or high-pressure water cleaning, the quattroClean system offers the advantage that the rough laser structures are simultaneously leveled (right). (Image source: HSG-IMAT)

The liquid CO₂ is directed through the wear-free two-component ring nozzle and relaxes upon exit into fine CO₂ crystals, which are bundled by a ring-shaped compressed air jet. This achieves a homogeneous cleaning performance. (Image source: acp – advanced clean production)

Liquid CO2 is fed through a non-wearing two-component nozzle and expands on exiting to form fine CO2 crystals, which are bundled by a circular jacketed jet of compressed air. This patented technology ensures uniform cleaning results. (Photo: acp – advanced clean production)
