Industrial Cleaning/Waste Removal
This category includes tools and devices used in the safe cleaning and removal of harmful waste materials generated during the fabricating process. Fabricated metalworking processes can generate several different hazardous waste streams, such as oily wastes, heavy metal pollutants generated from surface treatment and plating, air pollutants from welding operations, cooling lubricants, varnishes, paints, and other contaminants. Equipment used in the cleaning of industrial wastes can include salvage drums, heating chambers, waste oil containers, coolant recycling systems, etc.
Going Beneath the Surface with Vapor Degreasing
Cleaning is an essential step toward achieving a quality surface finish. Vapor degreasing offers long-term flexibility and adapts to specific requirements, among other advantages.

Every ounce of additional productivity rung from each step in the process adds up to significant cost savings over time. From coolant and tooling to programming and scrap management, opportunities to increase efficiency abound.
This old proverb rings true for your plant more than ever: Take a closer look at how good housekeeping practices positively impact profit, productivity and purpose in metalworking operations.
A complete coolant recycling system can improve profits, tool life, workplace safety and regulatory compliance. Maximizing its effectiveness starts with the most important and essential piece of equipment, followed by three options for coolant management and monitoring.
Though scrap metal is often regarded as a waste or by-product from fabrication operations, it is actually a viable revenue source – in fact, it is the second largest revenue source next to the finished product. This is why shops should have a formal management system in place to maximize the revenue they generate from scrap.
