High quality, aqueous-based component cleaning - including a major MACH debut - and environmentally efficient waste water disposal are both being highlighted on the MecWash Systems' stand N^o 5645 at MACH 2008.

Details of all of the company's proven rotational, high volume spray washing systems are being made available which offer proven benefits when cleaning all types of metal parts - from small turnings to large diesel engine blocks. This year includes a first MACH viewing for the new MecWash 'Aqueous Degreaser' development, with the company's new AVD 300 system under the spotlight. The system combines the benefits of aqueous cleaning, ultrasonics, flood/spray wash and vacuum drying in a compact, single chamber unit.
 



This new, patented technology provides an aqueous cleaning process that removes tenacious soils including greases, zinc stearate, NDT inks, waxes, lapping pastes and polishing compounds to a level that is equal to - or in some cases, better than - traditional solvent systems. Seen by the company as a major breakthrough in the component cleaning field, this is the first appearance for the MecWash AVD system at MACH.

Half of stand N^o 5645 is dedicated to the company's Aqua-Save Technologies Division which is showcasing its waste water recycling systems. A proven counter to increasing disposal costs and a major help in meeting ever tighter environmental obligations, the range of Aqua-Save units can help companies to maximise the efficiency of their waste water handling procedures - while reducing associated expenditure by up to 75%.




The Aqua-Save design can process not only waste from aqueous washing machines but also emulsifying machines coolants, floor washings and waste water from dye penetrant lines. With the water content condensed and returned as clean solution for re-use, only 5% of the original volume - comprising oils and other contaminants - then requires off-site disposal. The company is using MACH 2008 to demonstrate this process in action. Dirty water will be drawn into an Aqua-Save Junior from an adjacent dirty drum/tank with a corresponding second drum/tank receiving clean water. The demonstration will act as a highly dramatic visual indication of the performance of a system that is seen as increasingly important in all areas of the processing industry.

Details of the company's full range of equipment and support services can be obtained on stand N^o 5645.
