SplitMaster - Removal of adhesive parts - efficient, fast & energy-saving
SplitMaster cools surfaces quickly and efficiently to temperatures as low as -70 °C. It can also be used for partial cooling. Cooling can also be carried out only partially. The quickly attainable cryogenic temperatures bring advantages, e.g., in the cleaning of contaminated surfaces and in the separation of bonded parts. The bonding surfaces of the components are embrittled by the cryogenic temperatures and can then be separated without any problems.
Automotive industry, railway industry, aircraft industry, mechanical engineering, electronics, plastics industry: the bonding of components has now gained immense importance.
Mycon has developed a special cooling process for this area of application. The bonding of parts is now used in almost all industrial sectors, as it offers considerable advantages, such as weight savings, distortion-free, extremely durable connections, or the saving of reworking. However, the problem so far has been the separation of bonded parts. Adhesive surfaces can indeed be detached by means of strong heating. However, this requires heating the surfaces of the bonded parts up to 350 to 400 °C so that a sufficiently high temperature is reached in the adhesive layer for subsequent separation.
Mycon has developed a special cooling process for this area of application. The University of Paderborn and Hamm-Lippstadt University of Applied Sciences have been working on the damage-free separation of bonded parts for some time now in collaboration with car manufacturers and supplier companies. The bonding of parts is now used in almost all industrial sectors, as it offers considerable advantages, such as weight savings, distortion-free, extremely durable connections, or the saving of reworking. However, the problem so far has been the separation of bonded parts. Adhesive surfaces can indeed be detached by means of strong heating. However, this requires heating the surfaces of the bonded parts up to 350 to 400 °C so that a sufficiently high temperature is reached in the adhesive layer for subsequent separation.
However, it has been shown that this high temperature input can damage the materials and adjacent adhesive layers. Automobile manufacturers, steel manufacturers, manufacturers of adhesives, and other well-known companies are collaborating on the Fosta project. However, achieving the low temperatures required to separate the adhesive layers by means of a deep-freezing process that could be used without problems proved to be difficult. This is where SplitMaster, mycon’s new cooling process, could provide a remedy. The required cooling of the bonded surfaces for the purpose of embrittlement of the adhesive, with subsequent slight mechanical separation, takes place in a very short time.
The new mycon SplitMaster process enables the non-destructive separation of bonded parts. This makes repairs and recycling of bonded parts economical, even in body repair.

Paint stripping & mechanical decoating
The new paint stripping process is based on an environmentally friendly and water-soluble granulate that is fed into a jet of compressed air. Shortly before discharge, the granulate is wetted with water to increase the kinetic energy. Due to the soft granulation, metallic surfaces are not attacked, and other surfaces are not attacked or are only very slightly attacked.
This means that even complete vehicles can be stripped of paint, as well as entire wheel sets.
PowerMaster can also be used in an automated version.
