Union MUM Series – Industrial Solvent Cleaning Systems
High-Capacity Precision Cleaning for use with DOWCLENE™ 1601 and DOWPER™ MC
The Union MUM Series, designed and manufactured by UNION S.p.A., delivers high-performance industrial solvent cleaning for large, heavy and complex precision-engineered components. Combining fully closed operation, advanced vacuum technology and automated process control, these robust systems provide consistent, repeatable cleaning for demanding industrial applications. MUM systems are flexible built to non standard order specifications.
Designed for larger components and high-volume production, the MUM Series effectively removes oils, greases, machining fluids, waxes and manufacturing residues. Its flexible design accommodates large workbaskets, multiple smaller baskets and customised component fixtures.
Suitable configurations can operate with DOWCLENE™ 1601 modified alcohol or DOWPER™ MC perchloroethylene, supplied by SAFECHEM, providing effective solvent cleaning options for different materials and contamination requirements.
Advanced Solvent Cleaning Technology
The Union MUM Series combines spray, solvent immersion and vapour cleaning with vacuum drying in a fully closed, automated system.
Optional ultrasonic cleaning enhances contaminant removal from intricate geometries, internal cavities and difficult-to-reach surfaces.
Advanced vacuum processing and integrated solvent distillation support efficient cleaning, drying and solvent recovery, helping reduce operating costs and minimise solvent consumption.
Flexible Solvent Compatibility
DOWCLENE™ 1601 Modified Alcohol: Effective removal of machining oils, lubricants, greases and selected polar contaminants.
DOWPER™ MC Perchloroethylene: Strong cleaning performance for oils, greases, waxes and non-polar manufacturing residues.
Alternative Solvent Options: Suitable configurations can accommodate approved hydrocarbon-based cleaning fluids.
Solvent selection and compatibility depend on the specific equipment configuration, component materials and cleaning requirements.
