Commercial Contract Cleaners

PROBLEM:
High Volume. Varied Cleaning Requirements. Equipment Flexibility and Reliability.

An entire industry has evolved to supply Contract Cleaning Services to manufacturers that choose to send out various metal parts to be cleaned rather than do the cleaning in their own plant. Some manufacturers do not have a quantity of parts to be cleaned to justify the purchase of their own furnace. Others may not want to dedicate the space or materials handling requirements to a cleaning function. There are many different types of parts that are cleaned by these services. Examples include:
  • Finishing line hooks, hangers and racks that need to be cleaned of excess paint or powder coatings before returning them to use on painting and coating lines
  • Rejected painted or coated parts that need to be cleaned prior to recoating.
  • Automotive engines and parts such as starters alternators, water pumps etc. that need to be cleaned prior to rebuilding
  • Plastic machine tooling such as extruder screws, molds dies and breaker plates etc. that need to be cleaned in conjunction with color or material changes or as part of routine maintenance
All of these needs present the Contract Cleaners with a demand for high volume processing of widely varying materials. The business of these businesses is to clean. Sometimes their volume requires constant, 24/7 running of their cleaning equipment. Downtime and maintenance of their equipment translates directly into dollar costs or lost business.

SOLUTION:
Pollution Control Products Co. supplies cleaning equipment to many of the major Contract Cleaners in the US. The Rate Controlled and Inert Gas models of the Controlled Pyrolysis Furnace meet the needs of these users for high volumes, speed and ease of use, variable processing capabilities and dependability backed up by a service department on call to quickly solve any service needs to keep the equipment operating under high and often harsh processing demands.
