Success story: Cleaning hydraulic cylinders
The importance of cleaning hydraulic cylinders
The cleaning of hydraulic cylinders is an essential process for maintaining the optimal functioning of equipment in sectors such as industrial, automotive and heavy machinery.
Inadequate cleaning can lead to residue build-up, corrosion and accelerated wear, affecting productivity and generating high maintenance costs.
It is therefore vital to have specialised solutions in both production and maintenance to ensure optimum results.
The Challenge: Ensuring cleanliness and protection against subsequent rusting of hydraulic cylinders
The group FERRUZ INDUSTRIAL GROUPThe company, which manufactures hydraulic cylinders and components, axle shafts and suspensions for agricultural machinery and much more, faced recurring problems:
- Difficult to clean over the entire surface
- Oxidation of hydraulic cylinders after cleaning.
- Inconsistent results when using manual methods.
- High operating costs.
The Solution: Specialised Cleaning System for Hydraulic Cylinders
Following a detailed needs analysis, an innovative cleaning system was developed and implemented, designed for:
- Eliminate Waste: Use of advanced spray technology to effectively remove dirt adhering to the internal surfaces of the cylinders.
- Optimise Process Times: Automation of the cleaning process significantly reduces cleaning times compared to manual methods.
- Minimise Costs: Reduced chemical consumption and maintenance frequency, resulting in substantial savings for the company.


Tailor-made solution design of a solution for cleaning hydraulic cylinders
In addition to the solution provided to FERRUZ INDUSTRIAL GROUP, at IBERKLEENwe have also developed multi-stage ultrasonic cleaning machines automated systems for ultrasonic cleaning of hydraulic pistons in various stages of degreasing, rinsing, passivation, etc.
The design of the system at FERRUZ was customised to suit the dimensions and technical requirements of the hydraulic cylinders:
- Technical Evaluation: Measurement of the cylinders and analysis of the composition of the accumulated waste.
- Equipment Selection: Determination of the most appropriate washing machine power and chemical for the required result.
