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 […]
Precision Cleaning Systems Case Studies - Case Studies
Bi-Solvent and Co-Solvent Vapor Degreasers
The newer generation vapor degreasing solvents are more “environmentally and operator friendly” and more companies are finally shifting from NPB (n-propyl bromide) and TCE (trichloroethylene.) However, the newer HFE/HFC solvents are typically weaker solvents that do not remove heavier oils, grease, flux or wax as well with the removal of multiple chlorine and bromine atoms […]
Job Shop Parts Washer for True Oil and Water Soluble Precision Parts
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 […]
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 […]
Swiss Machine Oil Parts Cellular Manufacturing Automated Precision Aqueous Cleaning System
Application: Small swiss machined parts with heavy true oils and small blind holes/cavities made of brass, aluminum, and stainless steel challenged the customer to find an alternative cleaning process. The customer was previous cleaning with Stoddard solvent (mineral spirits or mineral turpentine), but large hazardous waste stream, flammability, long soak cycle times, and employee exposure […]
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. Due to recent and continuing regulations of n-propyl bromide and in 2012 the ACGIH (American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists) confirmed nPB as an “Animal Carcinogen with […]
Cascade Overflow Rinse Tanks
Cascade Overflow Rinse There is a simple truth in cleaning your manufactured parts: the parts are only as clean as your final rinse. The goal in any cleaning application is to make your final rinse as effective as possible. For many customers that means incorporating a cascade overflow rinse tank system. Typical Wash-Rinse-Rinse Cleaning Line […]
3D Printer / FDM Parts Post Process Ultrasonic Cleaning
Application The newly 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 […]
Mold Remediation, Fire and Smoke Contents Restoration Ultrasonic Cleaning System
Best Technology’s comprehensive line of wet benches and ultrasonic cleaning tanks combine for the perfect combination of equipment for fire, smoke and mold contents restoration cleaning. Hand cleaning individual contents and wares are a thing of the past with insurance companies opting to pay for cleaning rather than content cash-out replacement. The sheer volume of contents […]
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 […]
