Fastener Manufacturer Cleaning Technology
Specialty Screw Corporation is one of the top fastener manufacturers in the nation. Located in Rockford, IL, they recently upgraded its part cleaning operations by adding a new parts washer utilizing Ransohoff’s latest cleaning technology, PRO-CLEAN DRUM TM. This includes the aqueous alkaline continuous part cleaning and additional stages for rinsing and rust inhibiting. An additional oil decanting system for removing oils from the cleaning solution is also included. The result was that all parts were cleaner, processed faster, and reduced downtime.
Aqueous cleaning effectively removes heading and secondary oils from our fastener blanks making feeding and assembly of parts much more efficient. As part of Specialty Screw’s continuous improvement in the area of energy conservation, plans are being implemented for solar thermal heating of the 240 gallon rinse tank. The payback for the solar installation will be accelerated by trading equivalent carbon credits.
The reaction so far by employees of Specialty Screw Corporation has been very positive. The automatic tank filling option allows for much easier monitoring during the day. The larger drum size has allowed the throughput of fasteners cleaned to double. The new technology and tank auto filing will help reduce downtime.
