MAFAC are a global market and technology leader in aqueous parts cleaning. A family-owned business for over 50 years, they’ve led the development of industrial technology for both surface and component cleanliness.

Today, MAFAC are widely considered worldwide experts in the field of aqueous parts cleaning; they continue to supply international markets with powerful cleaning systems made in the heart of Germany’s Black Forest.

“It was important for us that all processes are compactly combined in one machine and run reliably. We can accommodate the entire cleaning process in the production run in a space-saving manner and react flexibly to changes.”

Tobias Zepf – Gebrüder Zepf Medizintechnik. Owner of a MAFAC Java

“We opted for Turbex machines for the more efficient cleaning action, which can be programmed to suit exactly the type of component being processed. Cycles are therefore shorter to achieve a similar level of cleanliness.”

Mark McFall – Manufacturing Engineering Manager, Concentric

Machine spotlight: MAFAC Java

Guarantees excellent results with a partially flooded cleaning chamber that runs simultaneously with spray cleaning and a patented rotation of both the system and basket.

  • Great for components with areas that can’t be directly reached by spray alone.
  • Reduces secondary process times with a quick draining operation.
  • Comes as standard with a coalescing oil separator.
  • Ultrasonic action available for improved cleaning performance.
  • Choose from a variety of options, including vacuum drying.

Why choose MAFAC?

Compact and versatile

The compact single-chamber machines made by MAFAC enable cleaning, rinsing and drying in one unit.

These standardised machines can be customised to suit various requirements and possibilities.

Powerful, patented technologies

MAFAC’s patented, distinctive technology allows the basket and spray systems to revolve in either the opposite or same direction while spray-flooding or spray-cleaning the wash chamber.

This system ensures repeatable cleaning outcomes on bulk materials or single components with intricate geometries.

Flexible

MAFAC machines use a multitude of techniques for cleaning industrial parts.

Each one has a specific purpose depending on the level of cleanliness required, the characteristics of the component, the material, and the contaminants.
