STAGES OF ENGINE VALVE CLEANING SYSTEM

The engine valve cleaning machines are usually equipped with 4-stage aqueous cleaning system and mostly use detergent chemicals as aqueous solvents. So, read on as we unravel the engine valve cleaning machine system step-by-step.

Pre-Cleaning Tank

The engine components at this stage are first dipped in hot solvents with temperatures close to 70 Celsius. This stage aids the removal of most of the oil along with ensuring a coarse clean for all the components.

Subsequently, the engine components are administered to a flood wash by returning the detergent chemicals through an educator. Though, sometimes the components are also dunked to the brim to ensure better impingement and oil dissolution.

Soak Cleaning

The soak cleaning process is largely similar to the pre-cleaning tank process. With the exception, that in this stage solvents are replaced by aqueous detergent chemicals that ensure an even finer cleaning of the components. Additionally, the solvents used at this stage are usually filtered by a fine filter of close to 10 microns.

Rinse

After the pre-cleaning and soak cleaning stage, some strong chemicals often end up getting carried over on the surface of the components. Now, these potent chemicals are removed at the rinsing station by dipping the components into hot water which in turn helps ensure a quick dissolution of the carry over chemicals.

Drying

Lastly, the components so rinsed are properly dried at a station with a blast of hot air that has a temperature of around 100 degrees Celsius.

The engine valve cleaning services are mostly offered at vehicle service stations where experts administer the entire cleaning process and ensure an efficient engine clean without damaging any other parts of the car.
