A number of AEC Systems clients have needed parts washers designed to clean recently turned or machined parts. With these types of products swarf typically is an issue. Swarf, for the unfamiliar, is “material (as metallic particles and abrasive fragments) removed by a cutting or grinding tool.” Removing swarf is difficult, especially when parts have […]

By using heat, agitation, and detergent instead of solvents, aqueous cleaners offer an effective and safer cleaning option. The cleaning products aqueous parts washers use do have to be changed out periodically, though. The aqueous cleaning waste byproducts must be disposed of safely as well. Because it’s costly to dispose of hazardous byproducts, companies that

We’ve previously talked about the importance of considering what kind of parts washer is best for a specific cleaning need. AEC Systems designs each parts washer to fit the application. This means we already incorporate learning our customers needs as a part of our design process. But often people will search online for “parts washers”

When you begin to do your research on industrial parts washers, you’ll have questions. You’ll wonder what kind of parts washer would be best to use for your specific need. Or whether you can purchase one already made or should have one custom designed. You’ll have to calculate how much space the parts washer will

A core principle of green chemistry deals with the energy that a chemical process uses, rather than the interactions of the chemicals themselves. This is Principle #6: Design for Energy Efficiency. It states: Energy requirements should be recognized for their environmental and economic impacts and should be minimized. Synthetic methods should be conducted at ambient

Does your existing parts washing equipment require frequent repairs, disrupting your workflow and increasing operational costs? Are you questioning whether your current parts washer is performing efficiently and meeting your specific requirements? At AEC Systems, we understand the critical role that parts washer performance plays in maintaining the productivity and quality of your operations and

Parts washers are unseen heroes of the everyday world, doing the task of keeping parts we never even consider clean. Most people don’t stop to think about how those parts washers do their jobs. How do grease, oil, grime, and otherwise hard-to-clean contaminants get removed? Is that process safe? How harmful are solvents?  What Are

Previously, when discussing green chemistry, we introduced the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry developed by the American Chemical Society (ACS). These principles serve as guidelines for creating more sustainable and environmentally responsible chemical processes: Prevention Atom Economy Less Hazardous Chemical Syntheses Designing Safer Chemicals Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries Design for Energy Efficiency Use of Renewable

The Problem: A customer came to AEC Systems with a cleaning problem that could not be satisfactorily resolved by the traditional washer solutions. Our customer had used standard cabinet style washers to clean the inside and outside of canister engine liners with only varying degrees of success. In the discovery portion of the process we

The vast majority of the parts washers that AEC Systems manufactures utilize more than one process in order to remove contaminants from industrial products. With the correct combination of certain physical processes (in addition to heat and the cleaning products utilized) working together, parts can be cleaned to a very particular specification. Here we will
