Oil-based immersion dewatering is a post-washing treatment that removes water from wet metal surfaces, deposits a protective film and prevents oxidation.
It is used immediately after washing or wet processes to increase rust resistance and stabilise surface performance during storage and transport.
The industrial purpose is to create a temporary and uniform anti-corrosion barrier, with transparent and easily removable micromolecular or monomolecular films.
The formulations include oil-based protectants and biodegradable synthetic ester-based solutions to reduce environmental impact.
It is widely used in metalworking, sheet metal and component manufacturing chains, where parts must remain intact until the next stages.
The main systems are immersion oiling tanks, such as dedicated systems that guarantee complete coverage and long-lasting protection. Alternatively, or in combination, spray systems are also used, which are useful for large parts or continuous flows.
Ceever designs and manufactures automated dewatering systems that can be programmed and integrated with company production management systems.
