Ultrasonic cleaning
for ship parts maintenance

At BRIO Ultrasonics we have more than 35 years of experience in machines and installations for naval maintenance.. We have specific solutions for cleaning naval parts and components, such asn standard and custom projects. We cover all the cleaning requirements of the sector, complying with the most demanding safety regulations.

Our exclusive technology achieves a Total cleaning of the parts with a significant improvement in energy efficiency, longer service life and shorter washing times compared to other systems. With lower consumption, BRIO machines achieve optimal results in very short times, providing a great savings for naval maintenance workshops.

BRIO ultrasonic cleaning in the naval industry performs a complete and deep cleaning that reaches all the complex points of the geometry of the parts. In this way, It is possible to remove calcareous deposits, carbon deposits, oxides, grease, oils, and paint from components such as cylinder heads, exchangers, intercoolers, pistons, cylinder liners, valves, and others. It is a contaminant-free process that also does not require labor during its execution, and whose design can be adapted to the size of any part, be it an intercooler or a 2-ton cylinder head.

The four factors of BRIO ultrasonic cleaning are: ultrasonic vibration, cleaning fluid, temperature and working time. The cleaning fluid contains a small percentage of detergent which is essential for effective ultrasonic cleaning. At BRIO we have an internal chemical department that has been developing tailor-made solutions for each application for over 10 years, always tested and served with our machines. We have detergents for working with all types of metals in the naval sector, including aluminium, for which we have a specific solution.

Our machines are found in the main naval workshops in Spain and the world csuch as those belonging to Coterena, Barloworld Finanzauto (Caterpillar), Tanaval, Servalci, Metalships & Docks, Mecanasa and Rías de Avilés Shipyards. At an international level, we have machines installed in workshops of MWM-Caterpillar (Mannheim-Germany), West Sea (Viana do Castelo – Portugal) among others.

Expert publications in the naval maintenance sector have echoed our ultrasonic cleaning machines and their exclusive technology. We invite you to read the article dedicated to us by the magazine Buques y Equipos de la Marina Civil.

Tailor-made solutions
For naval parts cleaning and maintenance

At BRIO ultrasonics we have experience in treating all types of parts in the naval industry, but there are some that stand out for needing a solution to a specific problem. Some of them are the following:

Engine block – Naval industry

The engine blocks must be in a perfect state for reassembling all engine components after cleaning and maintenance. In addition to accumulations of grease, carbon etc., iron engine blocks can also rust. Our ultrasonic cleaning system achieves a total degreasing and decarbonisation of the part, recovering it 100%. In addition, our machines completely remove corrosion, rust and paint to leave the iron clean and ready for repainting.

Cooling circuit and heat exchanger

The heat exchangers have a tubular element with holes through which the salt water circulates and which is responsible for cooling. These long and thin holes, together with the rest of the salt water circuit, end up getting blocked due to incrustations or the salinity itself. It can also happen that undesirable elements are deposited in the cooling circuit such as: balanides, crustaceans, molluscs, oxide, calcium, slime and any mineral deposit. Our ultrasonic cleaning system completely removes all these impurities and incrustations.

Plate chillers – Naval industry

The high heat flow through the plate walls can be significantly reduced by the formation of various types of sediment on the wall surface. Our system quickly and efficiently removes all the accumulations, completely recovering all the plates.
