Expomecânica 2026: the future of parts cleaning for workshops and industry
From 29 to 31 May we had the opportunity to take part in a new edition of the Expomecânica 2026, held in Oporto (Portugal), where we welcomed hundreds of professionals in our Hall 4 - Stand B07.
For three days we shared experiences with garages, distributors, maintenance managers, industrial companies and specialists from the aftermarket sector. In addition to presenting our solutions, the fair allowed us to see where the market is heading and what the real needs are of the professionals who work every day in the cleaning and maintenance of components.
Expomecânica Portugal 2026
A common goal: gaining time and cost-effectiveness
If there is one clear conclusion that this edition of Expomecânica has left us with, it is that workshops are increasingly looking for processes that can save time, reduce costs and improve productivity.
The rising cost of spare parts, the need to optimise resources and the lack of skilled labour are driving demand for solutions that allow components to be efficiently cleaned, recovered and reused.
Today, parts cleaning is no longer a secondary task. It has become a tool for improving workshop profitability and increasing the quality of repairs.
The most frequently asked questions during the fair
Many visitors came to our stand with similar questions:
- What type of parts washer does my workshop need?
- When is it advisable to use ultrasound?
- How to reduce the cleaning time of engines, cylinder heads or transmissions?
- Which detergent gives the best results without damaging the components?
- Is it more cost-effective to clean certain parts than to replace them?
These consultations reflect a clear trend: professionals are looking for practical, reliable and cost-effective solutions that enable them to work better and faster.
The technologies that aroused most interest
Parts washers for workshops
The parts washers continue to be one of the most demanded tools by garages, official services and maintenance centres.
The ability to clean engines, gearboxes, cylinder heads, hydraulic components or mechanical parts quickly and safely remains an essential requirement for any modern workshop.
Ultrasonic cleaning
The ultrasound technology The new system has aroused great interest among visitors who work with complex or high-precision components.
Ultrasound allows access to internal ducts, cavities and areas where other cleaning systems have limitations, achieving homogeneous results even in the most difficult parts.
DPF Particulate Filter Solutions
The cleaning and regeneration of particulate filters continues to be one of the fastest growing areas within the automotive sector.
The evolution of environmental regulations and the increase in the number of diesel vehicles continue to create opportunities for workshops specialising in the maintenance and recovery of anti-pollution systems.
Equipment for industrial applications
Although Expomecânica is mainly oriented towards the automotive sector, we are also visited by numerous industrial companies interested in cleaning processes for machining, maintenance, moulds, printing and component manufacturing.
More and more industries are looking for solutions that combine productivity, repeatability and reduced consumption.
In-house production: an increasingly valued advantage
One of the aspects that aroused most interest among visitors was our manufacturing capacity.
In a market where many companies limit themselves to distributing standard equipment, in IBERKLEEN we design and manufacture our own solutions, This allows us to adapt to the real needs of each client.
From parts washers for small workshops to automatic systems for large industrial production, our aim is to offer solutions that add value from day one.
More than 20 years developing cleaning technology
The experience accumulated over more than two decades has allowed us to participate in projects for sectors as diverse as the automotive industry, industrial maintenance, machining, printing, injection moulds and the manufacture of technical components.
This track record allows us to understand the specific needs of each application and to develop equipment capable of delivering reliable, repeatable and cost-effective results.
Thanks for visiting us at Expomecânica 2026
We would like to thank all the customers, distributors, collaborators and professionals who visited our Stand B07 in Hall 4.
Every conversation helps us to keep improving and developing new solutions for the challenges that workshops and industries face on a daily basis.
We return from Expomecânica with the same conviction with which we arrived: parts cleaning will continue to be a fundamental tool for improving productivity, profitability and sustainability of maintenance and repair processes.
See you in the next edition.
