54 PRODUCTION MACHINING :: DECEMBER 2016 PARTS CLEANING Industrial Washer Designed for Hard to Clean Aftermarket Applications Viking Blast & Wash Systems' CBW1212-B industrial washer has a 12" wide × 12" tall washer zone on a chain mesh belt conveyor. This unit is designed for hard to clean aftermarket applications, but can easily be configured to standard manufacturing applications. Belt flow speeds are adjustable from 2 - 34 fpm on a continuous pass-through basis. The cabinet is made of 12-gauge steel and can optionally be made with stainless steel. The washer is heated to 170-180°F by a natural gas burner. The spray bar arrangement includes eight spray bars overhead and eight spray bars under the top plane of the belt for maximum coverage. The same spray bars provide side spray for 360-degree coverage along with two 20-hp reservoir mounted vertical centrifugal pumps with 260-gpm pump capacity at 110 psi. The pumps do not contain bearings, seals or gaskets to replace. :: Viking Blast & Wash Systems 800-835-1096 vikingcorporation.com Kit Quickly Restores Stainless Steel and Other Metalworking Surfaces Madison Chemical's ReStore Kit is a combination of several of the company's cleaning and surface preparation products that are es- pecially suited for many metalworking cleaning, surface preparation and passivation applications. The multi-product kit comes in one box that contains one gallon of AquaBlue general purpose multi- metal surface cleaner, one gallon of TreadBrite foam acidic cleaner for multi-metals including stainless steel, one gallon of CR-120N nitric acid cleaner for passivation of stainless steel, a 2-lb container of Jel Terge powdered viscosity enhancer/gel builder and detailed instructions. This kit allows users to clean, etch and remove surface oxides and prepare a variety of metal surfaces. When used with the Compound CR-120N, these features can help to start to passivate 300-series stainless steels where desired. :: Madison Chemical, 812-273-6000 madchem.com Drum Washer System Cleans Complex Geometries Better Engineering Manufacturing Inc.'s Drum Washer system is designed to clean and dry complex parts with a rotary drum between 12" and 48" with a continuously welded helix. The unit's drum is positively driven with a chain, and the drive motor moves at a variable speed protected by a torque overload sensor. The system is designed for modular expansion without a torch or welder. The unit's drying modules use high-volume airflow engi- neered to recirculate, to conserve energy and avoid air blowout. :: Better Engineering Manufacturing Inc. 410-931-0000, betterengineering.com Degreaser Eliminates Acid Testing MicroCare's Chemours Vertrel Sion is a stable azeotrope degreaser of MPHE and t-DCE designed to eliminate acid testing or stabilizer maintenance, reducing costs and environmental impact.
