<h5 class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" data-section-id="jrdiwt" data-start="186" data-end="210">Customer Challenge</h5> <p data-start="235" data-end="593">Parts made on cutting machines are usually covered with cutting oil, so the oil must be removed after machining. Companies that produce many parts spend a lot of time and effort cleaning them. In this case, the customer cleaned each part by hand using a solvent-based cleaner. This process took a lot of labor, and the cost of cleaning chemicals kept rising.</p> <h5 data-section-id="7xls9h" data-start="600" data-end="626">Recommended Solution</h5> <p data-start="640" data-end="848">We suggested using the <strong data-start="663" data-end="698">ST200 immersion cleaning system</strong> together with <strong data-start="713" data-end="740">Aquasol Neutra Split LF</strong>, a water-based concentrated cleaner. This solution removes cutting oil effectively while keeping costs low.</p> <h5 data-section-id="1296j4j" data-start="855" data-end="877">Results Achieved</h5> <ul data-start="897" data-end="1213"> <li data-section-id="1h2fnmh" data-start="897" data-end="993">Up to 30 parts can now be cleaned at the same time by immersion, greatly reducing manual work.</li> <li data-section-id="11cue1m" data-start="994" data-end="1065">Solvent-based cleaners are no longer needed, which reduces fire risk.</li> <li data-section-id="2jlffd" data-start="1066" data-end="1122">Workers have much less exposure to cleaning chemicals.</li> <li data-section-id="lvbz8y" data-start="1123" data-end="1213">Aquasol Neutra Split LF can be diluted up to 100 times, greatly lowering cleaning costs.</li> </ul> <p data-start="1231" data-end="1499">By using the ST200 and Aquasol Neutra Split LF, the customer improved work efficiency while also reducing safety risks and costs.
