Solvent vapour degreasing cleans up parts best
An
Enviro Tech Europe product story
Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team
Mar 13, 2006
The finishing industry continue to accept that the cleaning of finished or semi-finished parts is achieved best using solvent vapour degreasing.
The finishing industry continue to accept that the cleaning of finished or semi-finished parts is achieved best using solvent vapour degreasing.
A good indicator to trends comes from leading machine manufacturer CC Hydrosonics, part of the world renowned Crest Corporation.
Confirming vapour degreaser orders show how widely this method of cleaning is trusted, Lee Casey, managing director of CCH reported: "Part of the reason for renewed popularity in vapour degreasing is the achievement of new engineering standards coupled with improved solvent performance and safety".
"Using these combinations, machines are typically achieving minimum levels of solvent use, often below 1 tonne per annum and generally not above 2 tonnes." Enviro Tech are delighted to have CCH as a specialist partner.
EnSolv has proved the most popular alternative to Trichloroethylene and demonstration centres located around the UK are open to anyone seeking to test the superior cleaning results.
Centres exist in Harlow, Leicester, Sheffield and Livingston (Scotland).
Specialist staff are on hand to advise on performance, safety and legislation.
An extensive network of centres exists around Europe.
