Partscleanin g Products Automated System Washes Large Parts Parts Cleaner Has Energy-Efficiency Features NexGen Enviro Systems��� XTR Wash automated washing system is available in either pneumatic or electric operation to accommodate either solvent-based or aqueous washing of large parts. The system features two wheeled trolleys with rollers for ease of loading heavy components. The washing medium, either solvent or water-based, is stored in a service tank to avoid evaporative loss and air pollution. The rinsing solvent or water is stored in external drums or tanks to ensure maximum cleaning quality. Emptying the service tank, as well as rinsing with the recovered solvent or water, can be accomplished either manually or automatically. The XTR Wash is completely constructed from 304 stainless steel and is available in three standard sizes or can be customized. NexGen Enviro Systems Inc., call 800-842-1630 or visit nexgenenviro.com. The Rosink Cleaner ECO (RCE) is designed to be an energyefficient parts cleaning machine, featuring a molded plastic lid for reduced weight and improved insulation, and a double-walled stainless steel machine housing that provides full insulation of the washing chamber and tank. A height-adjustable drying system with inline heater also is said to contribute to the machine���s energy efficiency. Additional features such as an oil skimmer, full-flow filtration and a stainless steel tub make the RCE especially suited for intermediate or final cleaning of small and mid-size parts. With its relatively low weight, the machine can be used as a stationary or mobile cleaning unit. It is available in 850 mm and 1,250 mm diameter sizes. Rosink GmbH + Co. Maschinenfabrik, call 49 59217809 0 or visit cleaner.rosink.com. Biodegradable Cleaner Replaces Hazardous Solvents AmberClean DF2 is an all-purpose, non-toxic, biodegradable cleaner from Innovative Organics, one of four companies in Saint-Gobain���s Surface Conditioning Group. Its formula replaces hazardous solvents for cutting through and removing tough soils like grease, oil, hydraulic fluid and dirt from a variety of surfaces. The cleaner can be used in concentrated form for tough degreasing jobs or diluted with water as a clear solution for lighter soils. It can safely clean fiberglass, metal, ceramic, granite, marble, plastic, sealed wood and other surfaces, the company says.
