Inside complex castings.
Shockwaves and water flow loosen sand, ceramic cores and metal chips inside cylinder heads, engine blocks and turbine components, reaching areas conventional cleaning struggles to access.
Foundry, conveying, rail sand filling & shockwave cleaning
KLEIN Anlagenbau AG
Complex interiors. A deeper clean.
From foundry and conveying systems to shockwave technology, KLEIN Group expands how materials are processed. CERABITE® uses high-voltage underwater discharges to clean complex castings, with further applications in recycling and natural-fiber processing.
CERABITE® · HIGH-VOLTAGE SHOCKWAVE TECHNOLOGY
Energy in water.
A deeper clean.
Electrical energy released underwater becomes a powerful shockwave. It loosens residues inside complex geometries and opens applications from cleaning to material recovery.

HOW IT WORKS
Store energy. Deliver a shockwave.
Charge
Electrical energy is stored in high-voltage capacitors.
Discharge
An electrode releases the stored energy into the water, generating a shockwave.
Separate & clean
Reflected shockwaves and flowing water break up and loosen residues inside the part.
APPLICATIONS
From cleaning to a material’s next use.
Separate materials. Recover resources.
Controlled underwater fragmentation helps separate materials from waste electrical and electronic equipment. Developed in collaboration with Fraunhofer IWKS, the technology also supports continuous production with two shock chambers.
New possibilities for natural fibers.
Shockwave technology also processes natural fibers such as hemp, separating fibers and preparing feedstock for yarn production to support more sustainable textile manufacturing.
