ICS by TEINNOVA: Industrial Cleaning Technology for Production, ATEX and Automated Environments
Solutions for conveyor belts, silos, heat exchangers, greasy surfaces and robotized industrial cleaning.
Industrial cleaning as an engineering challenge
Industrial cleaning is rarely a simple matter of removing visible dirt. Production plants must deal with residues that affect hygiene, safety, heat transfer, product changeovers, equipment performance and unplanned downtime. In many facilities, the cleaning method must also operate around confined spaces, explosive atmospheres, sensitive machinery or continuous production.
ICS by TEINNOVA develops industrial cleaning technology for these demanding applications. Its portfolio combines automation, mechanical cleaning, active foam, steam, vacuuming, robotics and ATEX-compatible solutions, together with custom engineering through ICSLAB.
BELTNET: cleaning conveyor belts with minimal production interruption
Conveyor belts in food, pharmaceutical and manufacturing plants can accumulate oils, product residue, allergens and biofilm. BELTNET is an automated system that combines high-temperature steam with synchronized vacuuming to clean the belt surface while removing loosened contamination and moisture.
The system is designed to reduce the need for long manual cleaning stops and can operate on different belt configurations. By using low-moisture steam and integrated suction, BELTNET helps reduce water consumption and leaves the belt ready for operation more quickly than conventional wet-cleaning processes.
SILNET: automated silo interior cleaning
Silo cleaning presents a different challenge: difficult access, confined-space risk and residues that can become compacted on internal walls. SILNET is a modular system designed to clean the interior of silos while reducing the need for personnel to enter the vessel.
The system incorporates remote cleaning capability and visual control, with ATEX-oriented configurations for environments where combustible dust may create an explosion risk. By taking the cleaning technology into the silo from the access point, SILNET can reduce exposure to confined-space hazards and shorten maintenance interventions.
FHP1 and FHP2 for active-foam industrial cleaning
Greasy surfaces, production equipment and large industrial areas often require chemical contact time before rinsing. FHP1 is a high-pressure foam and rinse generator that integrates the functions required for professional industrial degreasing. FHP2 provides a portable satellite cleaning solution for foam, rinsing and disinfection in large facilities.
Active foam allows cleaning product to remain in contact with vertical and irregular surfaces, while controlled rinsing removes the softened contamination. These systems are particularly relevant in food, beverage and manufacturing applications where repeatability and efficient chemical application are important.
PROTUB, FORTEX and ATEX applications
Heat exchangers, tubes and industrial ducts can lose efficiency when internal deposits accumulate. PROTUB uses mechanical cleaning technology for tube bundles, exchangers and similar applications, helping restore internal surfaces without complex disassembly in many cases.
For environments with potentially explosive atmospheres, ICS offers specialized solutions including FORTEX for duct cleaning in ATEX areas, PROTUBEX for pipes and smaller ducts, and DV6-EX for industrial vacuuming. These systems are designed for cleaning tasks where conventional electrical or mechanical equipment may not be appropriate.
Industrial robotics: from floors to walls
Automation is increasingly important where cleaning must cover large areas or reduce operator exposure. The ICS robotic range includes platforms such as MT1, an AI-powered robotic sweeper; CC1, an autonomous cleaning robot; MR1, a multifunction tracked robot; and VCR2, a remotely controlled wall-cleaning robot designed for vertical surfaces.
These systems illustrate the broader direction of industrial cleaning: moving repetitive, hazardous or difficult tasks from manual operation towards controlled, automated or remotely operated processes.
Technology selection and custom engineering
No single technology can solve every industrial-cleaning problem. Residue type, surface material, production constraints, water availability, ATEX classification, access and required validation all influence the correct solution.
ICS therefore combines standard equipment with specialized consulting, training, rental options for selected technologies and custom engineering through ICSLAB. Custom projects can include automated cleaning of complex machinery, conveyor systems, silos or processes where conventional equipment does not provide the required result.
Conclusion
ICS by TEINNOVA provides a broad portfolio for industrial cleaning challenges: BELTNET for conveyor belts, SILNET for silo interiors, FHP1 and FHP2 for active foam, PROTUB and FORTEX for tubes and ducts, and robotic platforms such as MT1, CC1, MR1 and VCR2. The common objective is to improve cleaning efficiency while reducing downtime, manual effort and exposure to difficult industrial environments.
