Energy-Efficient Wash-Rinse-and-Dry Parts Cleaner
By providing full immersion as well as spray cleaning, Ransohoff’s LeanDrum CF for high-volume cleaning and cold forming applications eliminates the heat loss common in traditional spray systems and lowers chemical consumption.
One Solution Cleans Multiple Metals
BHC’s one-product AquaVantage 3800 GD doesn’t contain any regulated ingredients. The mild formulation is safe and effective for cleaning steel, aluminum, and titanium parts for a wide range of manufacturing sectors.
Safe All-in-One Solvent-Based Parts Cleaners
Solvent-based vacuum degreasing is good for the environment, employees, and the bottom line. One machine cleans and dries parts by “sucking out” any remaining vapors before an operator touches them. Many systems also filter lubricant for reuse.
