At most companies the emphasis is on cutting operating costs. And there is one potentially large source of savings in the parts cleaning department. Consider switching your aqueous or other cleaning system for a small, fast and efficient vapor degreaser. Today, many innovative manufacturers are doing just that, simply to save money on their electric…
Building sustainability into your cleaning process is a manufacturing effort that has been growing for years. Prior to the turn of the century, most metal fabricating companies and machine shops only concerned themselves with preventing pollution and protecting their workers’ health and safety. But over the past two decades their focus has widened. Today, many…
Today, most metal fabricators and machine shops typically have two parts cleaning options. Aqueous water-based cleaning, or solvent-based cleaning inside a vapor degreaser. Both methods can provide quality cleaning results. However, each has its distinct drawbacks and advantages.Aqueous or water cleaningAqueous cleaning is a process which uses water and chemical additives to get parts clean.…
The future of the oil and gas industry won’t be found in giant unexplored reservoirs in remote parts of the world. The real future of the industry will be found in using smarter electronics in down-hole tools. For years, oil-field engineers have demanded ever-smarter down-hole tools, but many are unaware of the underlying technologies that…
All electronics wipes are not created equal. To ensure cleanliness standards are kept within a cleanroom environment, wipes are an essential tool. They need to meet exacting criteria, especially when in a controlled environment. Any contamination must be eliminated from both the items being manufactured and from the manufacturing tools and equipment themselves. Wipes play…
With modern electronics getting smaller and more complex, finding a reliable cleaning method that is both effective and compatible with the different materials of the electrical equipment can be a difficult task. The smallest contaminant can form a barrier between contacts and parts, or initiate dendritic growth affecting the device’s efficiency and performance. This is…
