← Back to vapor degreasersCustom Solvent Systems
Application-engineered solvent cleaning and drying systems built around your parts, soils, throughput and production requirements.
Custom sizes are available. Standard tank, chamber, basket, fixture and material-handling configurations can be tailored to the application.
Purpose-built solvent cleaning
When a standard vapor degreaser does not fit the part envelope, chemistry, automation or production target, Crest can configure a custom solvent system. eChem helps define the process requirements and coordinate the equipment, solvent, baskets, handling and utilities as one solution.
Designed around the part
Tank dimensions, baskets, fixtures and handling are matched to part geometry and load size.
Built around the process
Solvent, ultrasonics, filtration, distillation, rinsing and drying stages are selected for the required cleanliness.
Integrated for production
Custom platforms can support cellular manufacturing or connect with automated production lines.
How the process comes together
Define the requirement
Review materials, soils, part geometry, cleanliness, throughput, utilities and compliance constraints.
Develop the process
Select solvent, frequencies, stages, filtration, distillation, drying and material handling.
Engineer the system
Configure the enclosure, tank sizes, automation, controls, safety systems and factory interfaces.
Validate and support
Confirm the process, train operators and coordinate ongoing chemistry, service and optimization.
System design
Custom system families
These platforms provide starting points for a system engineered around the application.
| System family | Process focus |
|---|---|
| Solvac S3 | Superheated non-flammable vapor degreasing |
| Solvac S4 | Superheated low-flashpoint vapor degreasing |
| SE Series | Low-emission flexible solvent cleaning |
| AD Series | Superheated low-flashpoint vapor drying |
Custom sizes are available. eChem and Crest can evaluate tank dimensions, baskets, material handling, ultrasonics and supporting equipment for your application.
Application benefits
Complete soil removal
Configured to remove oils, greases, lubricants, rust inhibitors and other organic contamination.
Precision pre- and post-cleaning
Suitable for high-precision manufacturing before coating, assembly, inspection or final processing.
Automation-ready
Material handling and controls can be designed for stand-alone cells or connected production lines.
Solvent retention
Sealed covers, refrigeration and process controls can be selected to minimize solvent loss.
Fast implementation
Integrated controls and defined recipes support straightforward operator training and production startup.
Custom sizes available
Tank dimensions, load capacity and overall system footprint can be engineered beyond standard equipment sizes.
Build the right cleaning process
eChem can evaluate your parts, soils, throughput, chemistry, utilities and cleanliness requirements before a Crest system is specified.
