System success prompts new business

Renishaw development engineer, Robert Woodward, explains: "More than 3000 components, used in a wide variety of applications, are produced at Miskin every day. We needed a system that was capable of effectively cleaning and drying complex parts and able to cope with the rigorous demands of constant operation.”

Renishaw has worked with MecWash for more than eight years and already uses four MecWash aqueous component cleaning machines, which all include wash water recycling Aqua-Save’ Systems to reduce the amount of water used, supporting the company’s environmental commitments.

Designed to process complex and intricate machined or pressed parts that require very high standards of cleanliness, surface finish and dryness, the MecWash Midi offers a number of features which can be tailored to a customer’s exact requirements. The 400 model commissioned by Renishaw uses ultrasonics and high flow washing – guaranteeing that all components meet exacting standards. 

Baskets divided into various sections in the 400 x 450 x 650 chamber allow operators to clean and dry components destined for a number of different applications at the same time, ensuring efficiency, and the Midi’s robust construction ensures it is operational 24/7.
