Replaces labor-intensive solvent cleaning CLICK IMAGE TO ENLARGE
(+) Produced from carbon and stainless steels, titanium and
aluminum alloys, and Inconel alloys, many of Eaton’s parts
feature complex multiple bends. Eaton also operates a smaller
ultrasonic system to handle quantities of fittings an d other
small parts. This system features ultrasonic in the wash tank
and mechanical agitation for rinsing. Parts cleaning in
industrial settings—especially those with demanding quality
requirements, such as in the aerospace industry—has
traditionally necessitated costly and time-consuming dedicated
labor and solvents that can be dangerous for workers and for the
environment. Cleaning fluids often require special chemical
handling and disposal, and hand cleaning parts is not only
labor-intensive but may result in missed soils in part cracks
and crevices. Any missed soils were unacceptable to Boeing Corp.
and other customers of Eaton Corporation’s Fluid Conveyance Div.
