Increasingly, customers want their tooling manufactured and delivered worldwide to the tube and pipe and roll form industry from Roll-Kraft (Mentor, OH) to be reconditioned. To meet this need, the company has increased their capacity to jump start the process by adding an additional parts washer to clean the well-worn rolls and remove any residual oil and debris, in order to provide the best surface for reconditioning. The Better Engineering Model F-5000-LX-P-SS parts washer was installed at the headquarters in Mentor and can clean between 4-25 rolls per cycle, depending on roll sizes. It uses a specially formulated alkaline-based detergent that is very effective in removing grease and hard residues. The automatic dosing unit keeps the proper concentration of detergent to allow for consistent cleaning. The machine also has a rinsing tank that keeps the rolls clean after the wash. This unit should increase efficiency in preparing incoming rolls for regrind.
