Related Fluid Power, a
manufacturer of hydraulic
manifold control valves and
power units, has installed a
MecWash Midi at its
production plant in Fife to
ensure its manifolds and
component parts meet the
high levels of cleanliness and
‘wash down’ standards set by
many global OEMs.

The Midi is designed to
process complex and intricate
machined or pressed parts
that require very high
standards of cleanliness,
surface finish and dryness,
including the removal of all
types of contamination from
soluble and mineral oils to
greases, polishing compounds,
lapping pastes and dye
penetrants. It can combine
ultrasonics with high flow
flood & spray washing,
rinsing, dedicated jetting
(which targets critical holes
or galleries and rotates with
the components) and vacuum
drying. Features can be custom
programmed to optimise
cleanliness and efficiency.
