Cleanliness you can see in the picture

The product of parts2clean is a condition: a part without chips, oil or particles. Photographically that is a challenge, because cleanliness is invisible — what can be shown are the system, the process and the comparison. We photograph cleaning systems with their stainless steel chambers, nozzles, baskets and operator displays so that process and structure are recognisable, with a controlled angle against the reflections of the hall lighting on bright stainless steel and glass chamber doors.

And we show the result: the cleaned part next to the soiled one, the surface in macro, the workpiece carrier with sorted parts, the inspection result on the screen of the particle counter or residual contamination analyser. Cleaning media in containers and samples are photographed with side light so clarity, colour and viscosity remain visible.

Processes on video

Cleaning processes run behind closed doors — spraying, ultrasonics, immersion, drying — and are hard to convey in a photo. We film the sequence at your demo system from two perspectives, through viewing windows where they exist, and add close-ups of basket movement, nozzles and operation. The result is a 30-second highlight for LinkedIn and vertical clips for your distributors. A statement by your process engineer or product manager with a wireless microphone explains process and field of use, delivered with subtitles.

If your company speaks in the parts2clean expert forum, we photograph talk, slides and audience as well — the forum is well attended and a strong subject for the show report.

Three days in October

parts2clean takes place annually; you need the material from Stuttgart straight away for the show report, website and invitations to the next edition. Tuesday is opening day with the start of the forum and international visitors; Wednesday brings the densest technical conversations and suits conversation pictures and interviews. Thursday is quieter — good for system shots with time for lighting and for team portraits.

Stand overviews without visitors are taken before opening, when your system is already running and the baskets are loaded. parts2clean is a compact fair; your stand can often be covered completely in a two-hour package. You receive the highlight video and first images the same evening.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a photographer at parts2clean 2027 cost?

From €990 plus VAT for two hours of photo and video on site with at least 30 edited images and a 30-second highlight video. Four hours from €1,490, a full show day from €1,990. Travel to Stuttgart and any overnight stay are stated separately and transparently.

Our process runs in a closed chamber — what is there to photograph?

The system from outside with structure and operation, the process through viewing windows and the moment of loading and unloading. Plus the result: cleaned parts in macro and the comparison with the soiled part.

Is a two-hour package enough for our stand?

At parts2clean usually yes: stand overviews before opening, system, details, conversations and a short interview fit into two hours. With several systems or a forum talk we recommend four hours.

Which day works best?

Wednesday for technical conversations and interviews, Thursday for quiet system shots and team portraits. Stand overviews are taken on any day before opening.

Do you work in English?

Yes. Interviews, briefing and the entire engagement run in English — a large share of our trade fair clients come from outside Germany. Invoices with VAT ID for EU companies, no German VAT for companies outside the EU.
