Controlling and Documenting Cleaning Results
In the production environment, the interpretation of "clean" is often in the eye of the beholder. However, the degree of cleanliness achieved is often substantiated by how well a component functions or by the quality of subsequent surface finishing. For this reason, more companies are specifying component-specific residual contamination values, the fulfillment of which must be controlled and documented.
Vapor? Aqueous? Why Not Both?
Sometimes, the best cleaning option for a facility is to implement a combination of methods, each suited for a specific application. This precision parts maker was able to improve the overall cleaning process by doing just that.
Industry Focus: Electronics Cleaning
Here are some product highlights from a manufacturer that uses its own products in the critical cleaning of electronic equipment.
IN THE DETAILS
High-Pressure Water Deburring and Washing
Originally designed for automotive power train and transmission parts, this system is now available in compact and modular models.
Aqueous Alternative
Solvent degreasing without the solvent.
