The benefits of component
cleaning using aqueousbased
technology from
MecWash Systems, in the
context of Trichloroethylene
(TCE) replacement, have
been recognised with a
national award in Australia.

Installation of a ‘Midi’ unit
has helped Clipsal Australia
(part of Schneider Electrics
Group) to win the National
Safety Council of Australia
Award within the category of
‘Best Solution of an OHS&E
Specific Workplace Risk’.

“Clipsal has drawn
attention to a number of key
benefits resulting from the
use of the Midi and our
MecWash AC32 cleaning
chemical,” comments John
Pattison, MD at MecWash
Systems. “In particular, a
reduction in the risk of swarfrelated
injuries, safer handling
of tote bins, elimination of
rumbling operations and a
reduction in power use have
all been noted.

“At the same time, the
decision has eliminated the
risk of solvent seepage to
ground water.”
