Dedicated Jetting
January 1st 2006

Dedicated jetting technology has now been extended to the smallest unit in MecWash Systems' range - the Solo 400.

Machined products that contain numerous blind holes, oil ways and recesses are becoming relatively commonplace. Machining of such components creates areas where swarf and other contamination can become trapped.

MecWash Systems says the combination of its rotational washing technology alongside the highly focused jetting action helps to maximise the cleaning process and can be achieved within the same frame and footprint of the existing equipment.

Paul Young, sales director, says "Components of this type are almost always used in our equipment in purpose-designed fixtures. These hold the component firmly in position inside the rotating drum where it is subject to a powerful spray washing process, rinse and high velocity air dry.

"The addition of dedicated jetting sees the fixture locate into a feed at the back of the wash chamber with the pressurised wash solution then distributed around it to nozzles directed at specific areas - where the contamination is hidden in the deeper recesses of the component. Once removed, contamination is flushed away by the wash process and collected via two-stage filtration.

"Very high standards of component cleanliness are consistently achieved."
