Application Machine shops often need to wash parts that come out of machining centers with true oils (petroleum based) as well as water soluble coolants. In this application, the customer had a long list of true oils they needed to remove from precision machined parts. Oil contaminants include: Mobil DTE Oil Heavy 100 ISO VG 100 […]
Case Studies and Applications
3M Novec 72DA 73DE Solvent Vapor Degreaser For Medical Device Instruments
Application Many times the geometry of a part makes it difficult for aqueous cleaning systems to clean the entire part – inside and out. Small features like blind holes or even through holes with a very small diameter means that the water based solutions may not be able to wick or wet into an area […]
Aerospace Automated Parts Washer Cleaning, Rinsing, and Dryer Conveyor System with Regenerative DI Water System
Application Background Aerospace customer previously used nPB (n-propyl bromide) for cleaning various metallic based investment castings (steel, stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, etc.), machined aluminum extrusions and formed aluminum sheet metal parts and wanted to move to water/aqueous based cleaning for environmental and employee safety reasons. Due to recent and continuing regulations of n-propyl bromide and in […]
3D Printer / FDM Parts Post Process Ultrasonic Cleaning
Application The booming industry of 3D printed parts or FDM (Fused deposition modeling) for rapid prototyping and, in some cases, final use requires post processing of the parts to remove the support structure that is also printed to support the printed parts during printing. Our bench top ultrasonic cleaners and systems – in combination with […]
Oil Coalescer, Belt Skimmer, and Oil Removal Systems
The world of physics teaches us a simple truth: things don’t just disappear or cease to be. They can change state – water can become ice or steam based on temperature, but it doesn’t just cease to be. Even with evaporation the water vapor still exists. This same basic truth impacts you every time you […]
Manual Bench Top Ultrasonic Passivation Equipment
Flexibility is a key concept which your customers demand from you each day, and with the 782P series bench top ultrasonic passivation 5 tank system, flexibility is built-in. From washing and rinsing to passivating and drying, the 782P benchtop parts washer can handle any task you throw at it. The 782P provides 4 separate 3.5-gallon ultrasonic tanks (12″ […]
Machine Shop Parts Washer for Swiss and CNC Precision Parts
Parts Cleaner Machine Application Machine shops often need to wash parts that come out of machining centers with true oils (petroleum based) as well as water soluble coolants. Most tool shops start with a simple drum mounted solvent parts washer equipment but quickly outgrow the size and capabilities because it can only clean true oil […]
Medical Device Cleaning and Passivating Equipment with a Cleanroom Space Constraint
Cleanroom Medical Device Cleaning Equipment Background Large medical device manufacturers have outsourced much of their manufacturing to contract manufacturers for a long time. It’s always exciting to see small businesses succeed and grow. But sometimes business growth can lead to growing pains. Such was the case with a growing medical device manufacturer in Minneapolis recently. […]
Heated Polypropylene Acid Passivation and Rinse Tanks
Application for Heated Acid Passivation and Rinse Polypropylene Tanks Recently Best Technology was contacted by a customer who manufactures and installs stainless steel piping into underground water distribution systems. Once buried, the pipes need to have a very long life. The customer uses stainless steel fittings and junction pieces throughout their buried systems. The fact that the […]
Semiconductor Wafer Chemical Processing FM4910 Wet Bench & Fume Hood
Application for Semiconductor Wafer Chemical Processing Wet Bench & Fume Hood Case Study Our semiconductor customer required processing of large metallic and quartz parts used for wafer manufacturing. The chemistries used for processing included HF-Hydrogen Fluoride / Hydrofluoric Acid, H2NO3-Carbonic Acid, and H2O-Water which required use of PVDF (Polyvinylidene fluoride) tanks, plumbing and components. The entire system […]
