The Cleaning Knowledge Center

Application notes and technical guides from our lab and applications engineers — the same guidance we give customers before a trial.

Cleaning, Explained Properly

No sales copy — how aqueous cleaning actually works, what the numbers should be, and how to move a line off solvents.

Water, chemistry, heat and agitation — how water-based precision cleaning works, and why plants are moving to it from solvents.

Spray washers, ultrasonic systems, heated dip tanks and agitated immersion — with the concentrations, temperatures and bath-life practices for each.

A head-to-head comparison with trichloroethylene, and the proven process for switching a line over safely and legally.

Safety, features and cost — what changes on the plant floor when hazardous chemistry is replaced with a biodegradable aqueous concentrate.

Your choice of cleaning chemical decides your cleaning results, your operating cost and how long your washer lasts.

How cavitation works, which solutions to use, which ones to never use, and the temperature and cycle times that get results.

Describe your parts, soils and wash equipment — we will tell you what we would run and why, before you buy anything.
