FEATURES

Cleaning Tubular Components
Cleaning tubular components can be complicated and great care must be taken in choosing the proper equipment to achieve the end results for the tube preparation. Painter Design & Engineering has built and provided tube/pipe, cleaning systems for various manufacturers with difficult and stringent specifications

Environmentally Conscious/ Cost Conscious Cleaning Technology
Liquid Lock is an environmentally conscious/cost conscious cleaning technology that can drastically reduce the power, water and chemical consumption of inline cleaners.

EPA's Updated NESHAP for Halogenated Solvents
A significant revised regulation affects those working doing solvent cleaning chemicals because it describes a basis for regulation not commonly found in existing EPA regulations.

Re-Thinking Precision Cleaning of Tools Prior to Coating for Increased Throughput and Superior Adhesion
In the cutting tool world, an appropriately coated tool can allow increased feed of product and speed of cutting up to 50 percent, and can increase tool life up to 10 times. At HTL, the new Miraclean cleaning line has eliminated manual scrubbing labor and increased throughput.

Selecting and Maintaining a Rotating Nozzle
Rotating nozzles in cleaning applications are used to spray anything from pure water to water mixed with detergent or acidic/caustic cleaning fluids. They also may be preferable to an expensive motor-driven system in applications where the cleansing action is more dependent on a chemical reaction than the impact of the spray.

The Tooling, Manufacturing & Technologies Association Has Become a Voice and Advocate for Small and Mid-sized Domestic Manufacturers
The only way to fix the deplorable state of manufacturing in this country is through active participation in trade reform legislation efforts at the federal level.

Understanding and Evaluating Ultrasonic and Megasonic Cleaners
Achieving perfect uniformity within a bath has been elusive and assuring one is operating between effective levels is critical. Using the cavitation meter as a process control tool will improve both the yield and throughput of the cleaning operations.

Using nPB Solvent: Solvent Recovery Using Carbon Adsorption
The fact that today's cleanliness specifications for critical cleaning cannot have any contaminants residue or rinse water residue on the end product drives some users to remain with solvent or switch to solvent for certain applications. For those solvent users that have switched to nPB, carbon adsorption technology is now available that allows the recovery of emissive losses as well as lowers the ambient ppm levels in the work place.
