    Technical Data Sheet Bimetallic Corrosion Stainless Steel Fixing Nylon ‘Top Hat’ Washer Mild Steel Frame Neoprene Isolation Pad Stainless Steel Support Technical Data Bimetallic (galvanic) corrosion may occur when dissimilar metals are in contact in a common electrolyte (e.g. rain, condensation etc.), forming a galvanic corrosion cell. Current can then flow through the solution from the anodic or baser material to the cathodic or nobler material.

  • Theory of Operation: How Parts Cleaning Works
    Theory of Operation: How Parts Cleaning Works MART defines the term to clean as to overpower the soils. The MART Parts Washer is a high-impact pressure, high-temperature, industrial water-based cleaning system that uses a combination of the following factors to achieve cleaning results: Power x Temperature x Chemical x Time = Clean The relationship of these variables can be varied in an infinite number of ways to achieve the same level of cleanliness. Your own needs determine the relative value of each variable. Keep in mind that the MART Parts Washer provides one of the highest blasting powers in the cleaning industry, allowing you to reduce the wash-cycle times for your parts to a minimum. Additionally, the high blasting power allows you to operate the washer at lower cleaning temperatures, thus saving energy, and using less chemical than spray washers The exact combination of the factors must be determined for your application, based on the types of soils to be removed, the degree of cleanliness required, the cycle time required, the types of parts to be cleaned, and so on. How the Parts Washer Works The parts washer operates on a timed cycle. The operator places the parts to be cleaned in the washer on the turntable, closes and latches the door, and then starts the timed cleaning cycle. During the cleaning cycle, a high-temperature, high-pressure, water-and-detergent cleaning solution blasts soils from the parts. After the cycle has stopped and the steam has exhausted, the operator removes the cleaned parts. The parts washer utilizes closed loop, waste minimization technology, continuously reusing its cleaning solution and effectively reducing pollution potential.

  • The Biomatic® Parts Cleaning System Is…
    BIOMATIC® The Environmentally Friendly Bioremediation Parts Washer 1 The Biomatic® Parts Cleaning System Is… • A Bioremediation System. The Graymills Biomatic Parts Cleaning System uses the natural technology of microbial bioremediation to reduce oils, greases and other hydrocarbons introduced into the cleaning system to water and carbon dioxide (CO2). No oil and hydrocarbon buildup means the unit continues to clean parts indefinitely (we recommend cleaning the tank once a year, but the fluid can be put back in for continued use if desired.) • A Waste Minimization System. Talking to your customers about “waste minimization” will get their attention. With the Graymills Biomatic Parts Cleaning System, users will go from monthly dumping of fluid and unit cleanup…to once a year. That’s a “waste minimization” sales story few customers can resist. • A Tough Cleaner. Aqueous based Super Biotene® is pH neutral with a mild, pleasant odor. A mixture of emulsifiers and surfactants, they contain no VOCs, so they’re EPA and air quality friendly! Super Biotene cleans grease and grime off even the dirtiest parts, then the microbes go to work, reducing the hydrocarbon contaminants (oils, greases) to water and CO2. • A Good Investment. Recycling costs are slashed…parts cleaner waste is minimized…the dirtiest parts come clean…and the system is operator friendly. 2 How The Biomatic® Parts Cleaning System Works It is important to understand that the Biomatic® Parts Cleaning System is more than individual products - it is a total cleaning environment. The Biomatic Parts Cleaning System relies on the perfect balance between the Super Biotene® cleaning solution and the microbes introduced into the system.

  • Traditional Aqueous Parts-Cleaning Operations Work Great on Day One, but Rapidly Become Contaminated
    ➤ B Y S tep H en D . te M ple , ran S O H O FF Cleaning you can count on Traditional aqueous parts-cleaning operations work great on day one, but rapidly become contaminated. Adding an ultrafiltration process to a parts cleaning system can dramatically extend and improve its performance. Traditional aqueous parts-cleaning operations can be inconsistent and costly. Machine shops and contract manufacturers dealing with a range of contaminants and heavy contaminant loads are finding they need something more. In many cases, adding an ultrafil- tration (UF) system to an existing parts cleaning system can provide cleaner parts as well as dramatically lower maintenance and operating costs. This is not to say that traditional sys- tems cannot be effective in certain situ- ations. For example, a shop can realize good bath life and part cleanliness when primarily cleaning with non- emulsified oils and when the system’s cleaning chemistry can effectively split the oil to the surface of the parts bath.
