Master Parts Cleaning with Our Hands-on Workshop!
Critical Cleaning Hands-on Workshop
Do it, Learn it!
The one-day workshop before the conference teaches how cleaning and cleanliness testing work. By participating in hands-on exercises using cleaning and cleanliness verification techniques , attendees gain the understanding and knowledge to make practical, effective, and sustainable manufacturing decisions. While demonstrations and tutorials supplement the exercises, the workshop is not death by PowerPoint! Topics include aqueous, solvent, and “non-chemical” cleaning, as well as cleaning chemicals and processes (spray, ultrasonics, cyclic nucleation, in-line, batch).
Most manufactured product and product contact surfaces require cleaning during (and sometimes after) manufacture and assembly. Examples of areas where effective cleaning is essential include:
metal fabrication, product assembly, optics, electronics, microelectronics, wafer fab, medical devices, aerospace/aeronautics, military, and additive manufacturing.
WHAT DO YOU CALL CLEANING?
There are many different terms for cleaning.
-
Cleaning
-
Precision Cleaning
-
Critical Cleaning
-
Safety/Critical Cleaning
-
Surface Prep for Finishing
-
Technical Cleanliness
-
Residue Removal
WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM THE WORKSHOP
If you or your company fabricates, finishes, maintains or repairs product or product contact surfaces (like reaction vessels), this workshop is time well-spent. If you sell chemicals or cleaning equipment, this workshop will help you better understand and optimize the market for your products.
Examples include:
-
Manufacturing Engineers
-
Product Designers
-
Managers
-
Sales and Marketing Managers
-
Facilities Personnel
-
Assemblers, operators
-
Process Technicians
-
Quality Control Personnel
-
Regulatory Affairs Experts (industry, military, and government)
-
Safety/environmental professionals
Participants will receive a PDF Certificate of Completion with continuing education credits from Sam Houston State University.
