Triple 7 Aircraft and Metal Cleaner Prevents Rust on Ultrasonic Machine Cleaned Parts
Introduction:
The French multinational company, which owns 100% of an auto component manufacturer, is a major supplier of engine parts to Ashok Leyland, Maruti, and Hyundai. With a dominant market share of 70% in the segment, the company strives to maintain high-quality standards in its manufacturing processes. This case study focuses on a specific challenge faced by the company in maintaining the efficiency of their ultrasonic cleaning equipment, and how the implementation of Triple 7 Aircraft and Metal Cleaner provided an effective solution.
The Situation:
For over four years, the company has been utilizing a four-stage cleaning process using ultrasonic equipment manufactured by Rooptelsonic. This cleaning process caters to a massive volume of over 3 lakh pieces per month. Three tanks, equipped with built-in oil skimmers and heating arrangements, supply the cleaning solution to the washing chamber in a sequential manner. The first two chambers contain degreasers, while the last chamber is dedicated to a rust inhibitor.
Due to a significant increase of 300% in the cleaning load, the customer encountered a decrease in cleaning efficiency. The existing cleaning process involved two rounds of degreasing, followed by the application of rust inhibitors during the final rinse. After the rinse, hot air was used to dry the cleaned components. However, this process was no longer yielding satisfactory results, prompting the need for an alternative solution.
The Solution:
To address the decline in cleaning efficiency, the company introduced Triple 7 Heavy Duty and Triple 7 Aircraft and Metal Cleaner as rust inhibitors during the final rinse step, replacing the previous method. These products, derived from renewable resources, possess excellent biodegradability and do not require any special treatment after use. Furthermore, the Triple 7 degreasers are not only powerful but also safe for disposal down drains, ensuring environmental compliance.
In response to the implementation of Triple 7 Aircraft and Metal Cleaner, the customer observed significant improvements in cleaning results. The switch to this product played a vital role in preventing flash rust on the parts cleaned in the Ultrasonic Cleaning Machine, resulting in enhanced cleaning efficiency and reduced maintenance costs.
Benefits and Advantages:
- Rust Prevention: The Triple 7 Aircraft and Metal Cleaner proved highly effective in preventing flash rust, ensuring that the cleaned parts remained in optimal condition. This helped the company maintain the desired quality standards for their engine components.
- Increased Efficiency: The introduction of Triple 7 Aircraft and Metal Cleaner led to a substantial improvement in cleaning results, effectively addressing the decline in cleaning efficiency experienced due to the increased cleaning load. This allowed the company to maintain its high production output without compromising on quality.
- Environmental Compliance: Triple 7 products are derived from renewable resources and boast excellent biodegradability. Their safe disposal down drains eliminates the need for additional treatment, contributing to the company’s environmental sustainability goals.
- Cost Savings: By preventing flash rust and improving cleaning efficiency, the company experienced reduced maintenance costs associated with rework or replacement of rusted parts. Additionally, the Triple 7 degreasers’ compatibility with drain disposal eliminated the need for costly waste management processes.
Conclusion:
The implementation of Triple 7 Aircraft and Metal Cleaner provided an effective solution to the customer’s challenge of maintaining the efficiency of their ultrasonic cleaning equipment. By preventing flash rust and enhancing cleaning results, the company achieved notable improvements in quality standards and cost savings. The environmentally friendly nature of the Triple 7 products further aligned with the company’s commitment to sustainability. This case study demonstrates the value of innovative cleaning solutions in addressing industry-specific challenges and driving operational excellence.
