Aqueous-based cleaning station

Manufacturer of defence electronic systems, SELEX Galileo is reported to have enhanced its UK operational and environmental performance with the installation of an aqueousbased component cleaning statio from MecWash Systems. The MecWash Midi acts as a key centre for cleaning procedures - critical for SELEX's high precision systems. The installation has also helped the company minimise its solvent usage.

"The wide range of components - mostly aluminium - that we manufacture in the UK call for the cleaning facility to be highly versatile," comments Mel South, manufacturing manager at SELEX Galileo. "A range of stainless steel baskets with nylon dividers, nylon baskets or dedicated fixtures measuring up to half a metre in length can all be accommodated by the MecWash cleaning system."
