Establishes Dresden FEP: A new lab dedicated to educating industrial particulate cleaners

New Learning Lab Established for Industrial Component Cleaning Training

The Fraunhofer Institute for Electron Beam and Plasma Technology (FEP) in Dresden has launched a new learning lab called LinTR. This state-of-the-art facility is dedicated to training specialists in industrial component cleaning.

The LinTR learning lab stands out with its multi-chamber cleaning plant for aqueous ultrasonic cleaning, setting new standards nationwide. The plant features six tanks, each with a capacity of 100 liters, allowing for precise and individual control of the cleaning process. The direction, frequency, and power of the ultrasound can be adjusted to suit various types of contamination and components.

The learning locations in the LinTR learning lab's modular further training concept are spread across various institutes, including Fraunhofer IPA, Fraunhofer IVV Dresden, and Fraunhofer IWS. The project is led by Dr. Ralf Schenkel, the project leader of the LinTR learning laboratory at the Fraunhofer Institutes in Dresden.

The training methods in the LinTR learning lab are designed to consider the entire process chain in industrial component cleaning. The approach is interdisciplinary, requiring coordination with all participating trades for planning cleaning steps. The learning approach emphasizes the importance of coordination between all trades involved in industrial component cleaning.

The LinTR learning lab is not just a training facility; it also collaborates with other institutes for further training. Participants in the training units must find the perfect settings for the most effective cleaning of common contaminants. The lab's special test component contains different material surfaces such as metal or plastic, as well as typical holes, edges, and screw connections of real industrial components.

The training program in the LinTR learning lab can be attended as a three-day compact seminar or as a continuing professional development course. The lab is designed to deepen theoretically acquired skills in practice and to apply various cleaning methods and testing methods.

The Fraunhofer Academy supports the development and implementation of training opportunities in the LinTR learning lab. The lab's modular further training concept includes cooperating learning locations across the institutes, ensuring comprehensive training in industrial component cleaning.

The LinTR learning lab's mission is to provide high-quality training that meets the demands of the industry. It is a significant step forward in ensuring desired quality features in industrial components by considering cleaning steps within the entire process chain.
