For one medical device manufacturer, the design of a citric passivation solution faced two major challenges: The manufacturing process required performing a water-break test after cleaning parts, before proceeding to passivation. This meant that they could not use a fully automated passivation solution. The system had to have data tracking for quality control purposes. Semi-Automated […]
Case Studies and Applications
Automated Pipe Cleaning and Acid Passivation System
Pipes and tubes often are difficult cleaning and passivation applications because various washing, rinsing, and passivation solutions must be flushed through the pipes. Pipe flushing applications with tight aspect ratio (high length vs. the internal diameter) or multiple bends tend to require forced or pumped circulation through the tubing.

Electropolish EP System – Open Top Wet Process Station with Spray Rinse
Application The electropolishing wet bench has two CPVC-lined polypropylene tanks to electropolish and spray rinse for use with government and military research projects. This open top electropolish wet bench with fume extraction receives parts after cleaning via overhead jib crane hoist. The wet process station has an external 18V, 500 amp rectifier power supply which connects […]
Bone Screw Deburring Equipment and Polishing Systems
Manufacturing of bone screws requires ultra-tight tolerances on many geometric features, but inevitably bone screws, internal fixation, bone plates and orthopedic/surgical implants have burrs from CNC, swiss machine, EDM and other machining processes which need to be removed. While there are many technologies to remove such burrs, bone screws are typically made in large quantity production. […]
Military Gun & Weapon Cleaning Equipment and Systems
Military cleaning applications can vary from gun and weapon cleaning to aircraft and vehicle maintenance overhauls. Parts washing and cleaning applications for the armed forces usually entail not only cleaning the outsides, but also the insides of guns, arms and armament. This often requires the use of gun cleaning solvents. Depending on the armament barrel […]
DOT Department of Transportation Equipment Maintenance Spray Parts Washer
DOT (Department of Transportation) throughout the U.S. and abroad often performs their own maintenance and rebuild on their vehicles and equipment. One of the first steps needed after tearing down the equipment is cleaning the parts so they can be rebuilt. These parts come in all shapes and sizes so it is common to see industrial […]
Pig Washer for Cleaning Pipeline Pigging Equipment in Oil and Gas Industry
Pigging equipment is used in the oil and gas industry to clean, inspect and perform other maintenance operations on a pipeline typically without stopping the flow of the product in the pipe. The “Pigs” are inserted with a pig launcher into the pipes and travel along the pipe line to remove scale, sludge build up […]
Automated Ultrasonic Medical Device Catheter Cleaning System
Application Medical device industry requires cleaning medical equipment during manufacturing to ensure extrusion molded surfaces are cleaned of soils and any polymer particulate (flash, dust, etc). The parts can often be bundled which can pose a challenge for cleaning. With the side mounted flushing feature, the system is able to clean the catheters in a combine bundle […]
Pipe and Tube Cleaning Equipment
Tube and pipe cleaning presents a difficult challenge in part washing because cleaning solution must flow through the pipe in order to properly clean. Various cleaning methods exist for short tubes with adequate internal diameter (ID), but when the aspect ratio length:ID increases, it becomes necessary to force solution flow through the pipe itself. When the aspect […]
Automated 6-Stage Wash-Rinse-Passivate-Rinse-Rinse-Dry For Aerospace Customer
Time and time again we hear from customers looking to transition their passivation process in-house. In most cases the biggest concern cited is not always the cost to have the process performed by an external vendor, but the time. Between packing, shipping, unpacking, processing, repacking, shipping the parts back and unpacking them again many customers […]
