SOLID TOUCH shower sensors with SUBLIMOTION,
For hospitals, wellness and the food industry.
Sublimotion process®
The SUBLIMOTION process® is a brand new, innovative technique that guarantees a result that cannot be matched by existing techniques to this day. The SUBLIMOTION process® conditions the surfaces of stainless steel structures and components in such a way that the surface roughness and topography are drastically improved without causing damage or deformation, which also greatly improves the cleanability and hygienic properties, among other things.
Introduction
The surface qualities of stainless steel after treatment with the SUBLIMOTION process® are particularly beneficial to sectors such as the pharmaceutical, cosmetics and food industries, where hygienic requirements are much higher than in other sectors. In addition, the SUBLIMOTION process® also has numerous other properties, so that it can also have great added value for other sectors.
Vecom saw opportunities, but also the necessity, in the application of a new process because the specific laws and regulations regarding the hygienic design of process equipment in the food industry have become increasingly strict in recent years.
The process
The innovative SUBLIMOTION process® for the surface treatment and conditioning of stainless steel, from large structures to small parts, offers the following advantages:
▪ It is a “One step process”, which means that all surface properties are achieved in a single treatment/movement.
▪ The process allows for very efficient cleaning and very fine finishing, even on irregularly shaped surfaces.
▪ The same values in terms of surface roughness and topography are generated in all directions, resulting in an isotropic surface.
▪ The surface is cleaned at the micro level, micro-cracks are sealed and the durability of the material is improved by building up compressive stress in the surface.
▪ Visually uniform satin gloss finishing.
▪ After treatment, the surface has hydrophobic properties.
▪ No iron contamination occurs.
▪ The process is safe, ecological and based on sustainable technology (Green Process).
▪ No hazardous or toxic chemicals are used.
▪ The process uses a safe, inert, non-harmful cleaning suspension.
▪ Health or environmental problems do not apply and the process is completely dust-free.
It is a very cost-saving process.
