TresClean demonstrates improvements in the surface cleanliness and hygiene of steel pipes following laser texturing.
Tresclean Partner Ecor International and Sentiero International Campus, the Research Group Company (ASTER accredited research centre specialised also in the material testing) recently completed tests to evaluate the cleanliness and hygiene of textured pipes with the Tresclean production techniques.
The surface cleanliness and hygiene of the textured pipes was evaluated using whole milk and the performance of the textured surfaces was compared with untestured surfaces. In milk soiling experiments it was found that the milk slipped away from the pipe surface more frequently on textured surfaces than on untextured surfaces. Whilst in surface cleanability test it was found that the cleanability of textured surfaces was on average 20% higher than untextured surfaces. Although further tests and independent comparisons are required these promising results to demonstrate the potential of direct laser structuring of tubular metal parts using the TresClean high throughout production techniques.
In April 2016 TresClean set out to demonstrate that high throughput laser-based manufacturing using high-power lasers could be applied to produce fluid-repellent and anti-microbial metal surfaces.
In achieving this goal the consortium made technological advancements in the fields of laser physics and materials processing. Particular achievements include:
