The green way to wash

Interview with Giacomo Sabbadin, Managing Director of IFP Europe Srl

The green way to wash

A key stage in the production of small parts made by grinding, milling, sintering or bending is the cleaning of those parts of processing residues. IFP Europe Srl in Italy specializes in the production of cutting-edge technological systems for washing small parts and mechanical components. Its focus when designing new machinery is on minimizing water and energy consumption while meeting the needs of various types of production cycle. Although a relatively new player in the sector, the company leads the Italian market and also holds strong positions in the US and France thanks to a strategy based on ecological sustainability.

IFP Europe was founded in 2010 by Managing Director Giacomo Sabbadin and his partner Alberto Gobbo. “The idea was to build a machine that the Italian market had not seen yet in that form,” says Mr. Sabbadin. “Such machines were available elsewhere in the world but were unheard of in Italy. We started producing the machines for the US and Italian markets and enjoyed great success in both right from the beginning.”

IFP Europe markets its machines under the KP (Kleen Power) brand to emphasize the concept of eco-sustainability. The first to be introduced was KP.HMA, a universal product for the most demanding applications combining high productivity for components with high levels of contaminants. “

As time went by, we introduced other machines to the range, each responding to the needs of our customers,” says Mr. Sabbadin. “The most important aspect was to have differently sized machines to handle variations in demand.”
