High levels of cleanliness

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.
