Understanding Your Parts Washing Needs

Do you wash a variety of parts at your shop? Our IFP machine tackles a wide range of cleaning challenges, handling multiple metals (stainless steel, aluminum, brass, titanium, and more) and various soils (water-based coolants, oil, polishing compounds, grease, and more). This versatility ensures that a single washer can meet your diverse cleaning needs.

 

Choosing the Right Cleaning Chemistry

The most common solution used with IFP parts washers is modified alcohol. This versatile cleaning agent tackles a wide range of metals and soils in a single wash. Modified alcohol's secret lies in its unique properties – it has both polar and non-polar components, allowing it to effectively degrease diverse contaminants. If your parts require cleaning with both water based coolants and oils then modified alcohols emerge as a versatile choice, offering cleaning power without the drawbacks of aqueous cleaning or other solvent solutions.

 

Combating Rising Solvent Costs

The cost of solvent for traditional vapor degreasers is not only increasing, but these machines also use a significantly larger amount of solvent compared to IFP machines. This double whammy can significantly impact your operating costs. Switch to modified alcohol: This cost-effective alternative is significantly cheaper, providing substantial savings on your cleaning expenses. Invest in vacuum degreasers: These innovative systems minimize solvent usage by efficiently recycling and reusing a large portion of the cleaning agent. This not only reduces your costs but also minimizes environmental impact, making it a win-win solution.

 

IFP's Water Conscious Alternative

Our systems are designed with sustainability in mind, due to it being a water-free technology that recovers up to 95% of solvent through distillation. This translates to using just 0.3 gallons of solvent for every ten gallons of oil removed, significantly reducing waste and environmental impact. 

 

Benefits of IFP Vacuum Chamber Parts Washers

These systems boast fast cycle times, cleaning your parts in just 8-15 minutes, saving valuable production time. Additionally, they eliminate water costs, saving you money on water and related expenses like water treatment systems. This powerful vacuum not only removes air pockets, allowing cleaning chemistry to reach even the most intricate parts and effectively remove chips, but it also achieves complete drying of the entire wash load within the cycle.

That means no more need for compressed air to blow out water or dry parts in hidden areas. Furthermore, IFP's washers utilize safe and effective non-toxic solvent ingredients, ensuring the safety of your workers and the environment. Operators have virtually no contact with solvents thanks to the IFP's design for safe cleaning chemistry handling. 

 

IFP Allows You to Navigate the Cleaning Industry Bans and Restrictions

If your current cleaning process utilizes HFEs, IFP offers alternative solutions to keep your cleaning process running smoothly. Reformulate your cleaning process by using cleaning chemistry free of HFE's, HFC's, PFAS, and Halogen compounds solvent blend. There are many options to consider when trying to find an HFE free cleaning process, click on this blog to learn more about reducing solvent usage. Reduce solvent usage and minimize the impact of the HFE ban and other restrictions.
