Quickly cleans and dries

Senior Flexonics has ordered a bespoke aqueous component cleaning machine from MecWash Systems, for use in an automated production line commissioned by a client on the continent.

It is used to clean and dry heat exchangers. Having worked with MecWash on previous projects, Senior Flexonics commissioned the company to deliver a bespoke MecWashMidi 400.

The compact system removes preservative oils, machining lubricants, metal swarf and chips from components in a fully enclosed machine, so no steam and no vapours.

The standard specification includes rotational high volume spray washing, immersion washing and hot air drying. Senior Flexonics' bespoke system also has direct jetting via a rear feed system, to flush through the heat exchangers. Vacuum drying ensures internal water and gas galleries are very quickly 100% clean and dry.

Eight heat exchangers are cleaned and dried in 6.26 minutes.
