​Cleaning and Degreasing

​Cleaning and degreasing

When cleaning oily and greasy parts, a vibratory finishing machine is a good choice. Running the machine in a pass-through mode is the most effective way to get the job done quickly and efficiently, resulting in a higher output. The size of the machine's diameter also plays an important role in the cleaning process. The larger the machine, the longer the parts will stay in it, and the better the cleaning results will be.

To achieve the best results in the cleaning process, porcelain media and steel tumbling media are the recommended options. These media types have minimal wear and don't leave any debris on the parts' surfaces. They also don't decrease in size over time, which can be costly and can risk lodging in the parts.

However, the cleaning compound is the primary contributor to the cleaning process. The type of compound, the dosing rate, and the concentration are all critical factors related to performance. For cleaning parts that are greasy and oily, a strong acidic compound is required to clear off the fatty and oily substance from the metal surface.

While a hot solution can reduce the degreasing and cleaning time, it's best to use cold water instead. This is because a hot solution can soften the PU lining and result in premature wear. By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your parts come out of the cleaning process looking their best.
