Efficient Cleaning of Potting & Dispensing Systems

17.08.2026

Powerful, safer and more sustainable cleaning

In battery and electronics manufacturing, sensitive components need reliable protection against moisture, mechanical stress and other external influences. This is why reactive potting compounds are widely used. These materials encapsulate electronic components and provide long-term protection.

During production, potting compounds are transported through pumps, hoses, mixing systems and dispensing heads before being applied precisely where needed. While their strong adhesion and durability are essential for the finished component, these same properties can make cleaning the processing equipment challenging.

Why cleaning potting systems can be demanding

During product changes, maintenance or production interruptions, residues must be reliably removed from the equipment. Insufficient cleaning can interfere with subsequent production processes and contribute to additional downtime.

At the same time, conventional flushing and cleaning agents may have disadvantages. Depending on the product used, they can be aggressive, flammable or toxic, resulting in increased requirements for occupational safety, handling and environmental protection.

The challenge is therefore to combine high cleaning performance with material compatibility, workplace safety and sustainability.

Modern cleaning solutions for potting and dispensing systems

Färber & Schmid offers high-performance cleaning solutions for removing reactive potting compounds from industrial potting and dispensing systems.

Our approach focuses on four key requirements:

•     High cleaning performance for stubborn residues
•     Low-odour application for a more pleasant working environment
•     Material-friendly cleaning of equipment and components
•     More sustainable formulations as an alternative to problematic conventional cleaning systems

Depending on the application, efficient cleaning performance can therefore be combined with improved conditions for employees and the environment.

Less cleaning effort, higher equipment availability

An efficiently designed cleaning process does more than simply keep the equipment clean. It can also contribute to a more reliable overall production process.

Potential benefits include:

•     shorter cleaning times
•     less production downtime
•     a more pleasant working environment
•     higher equipment availability
•     material-friendly cleaning processes

There is, however, no single cleaning solution that is suitable for every application. Potting compounds differ in their chemical composition, reactivity and curing behaviour. Equipment design, temperature and individual process conditions also play an important role.

The right solution for your process

At Färber & Schmid, we therefore evaluate each application individually. Together with our customers, we assess the potting material, equipment and process conditions and support the selection of a suitable cleaning solution.

The result is a cleaning process designed to combine performance, safety and sustainability.
