Client Background
Our client is a leading manufacturer of hydraulic parts and a trusted service provider for hydraulic equipment maintenance. They are committed to delivering high-quality components and ensuring the longevity of hydraulic machinery.
Objective
The primary objectives are to identify a safer and more efficient cleaning method to effectively remove cured resin residue from complex equipment parts, including pump housings and valve openings, and reduce wastewater discharge compared to previous caustic soda-based cleaning methods.
Problem:
The company previously relied on a semi-automatic solvent cleaner to remove cutting oil from machined parts. The solvent vapor not only endangered cleaning workers’ health but also led to multiple complaints from employees.
- Employees were highly dissatisfied with the strong, unpleasant solvent odor that spread throughout the factory.
- The solvent vapor posed a significant fire hazard.
- The semi-automatic solvent cleaner was ineffective in removing cutting oil
Solution:
To address these challenges, we introduced the Torrent 500, a safer and more efficient cleaning system.
- For processed parts: Residual cutting oil was completely removed from hidden corners, reducing cleaning time and operator fatigue.
- For installed parts: Aged and deteriorated hydraulic oil stains were thoroughly eliminated.
- Safety & Compliance: The harmful solvent vapor problem was fully addressed, ensuring a safer workplace.
- Fire Hazard Mitigation: The switch to a safer cleaning method eliminated fire risks.
By adopting the Torrent 500, our client successfully upgraded their cleaning process, ensuring compliance, worker safety, and operational efficiency.
