“I am amazed that prior to plating we can clean 40,000 pounds of rivets per day, using only 5 gallons of methylene chloride, while reducing our oil costs by over $50,000 per year.” Rivets are notoriously difficult to clean and plate because of their smaller diameter and blind holes. No one knows that better than Detroit Tubular Rivet, Inc. Their three-step aqueous rotating barrel cleaning system with oil skimming and oil separation equipment was not doing an adequate job. “The additional aqueous or semi-aqueous processes we investigated - whether spray, rotation or anything else - were not effective,” Thomas said. “The only cleaning process that demonstrated effective cleaning was solvent degreasing.”
Degreasing systems from Finishing Equipment can solve the toughest cleaning problems, and cut your operating costs, too. Contact us today for more information.

This Finrshing Equipmenr Vapor Degrenser was permirted under NESHAP and Michigan toxic rulr~and has readily met the p~vmit requiremenrs.
When the company bought its chlorinated solvent vapor degreaser from Finishing Equipment, Inc., they got far more than they expected. Solvent degreasing solved the cleaning problem and eliminated the oil problem. The quality and consistency of their plating process soared while the use of alkaline cleaners plummeted by one-third and acid usage dropped by 70%. Plus, their waste water treatment system can now function properly.
