Case Study | Maintenance | Asian Company Saves $11,000 Annually with Water-Based Parts Cleaning Solution

An Asian company specializing in manufacturing and supplying lubrication equipment for industrial and automotive sectors has achieved significant cost savings through the adoption of a water-based parts cleaning machine.

The company faced challenges in effectively cleaning automotive parts at its distribution point, crucial for maintaining the integrity of its automatic multi-line lubrication systems. Previous methods using a local degreaser for manual cleaning were labor-intensive, time-consuming, and inadequate for removing fine particles.

Upon switching to NCH Asia Pacific’s Torrent 400 solution, a powerful water-based parts cleaning machine utilizing water, heat, and power, the company experienced transformative results. Torrent 400 delivered superior cleaning performance, ensuring efficient removal of even the smallest contaminants, thereby enhancing production efficiency and reducing instances of parts rejection over the past four years.

The adoption of Torrent 400 not only minimized cleaning time but also resulted in substantial financial savings totaling $11,000 annually. These savings encompassed reduced costs associated with local degreasers, decreased production losses due to parts rejection, and lower labor expenses.

Moreover, the company benefited from NCH Asia Pacific’s responsive service, appreciating the quick 48-hour turnaround for resolving any operational issues with the machine.

By leveraging Torrent 400, this Asian company not only optimized its cleaning processes but also achieved significant cost efficiencies, reinforcing its commitment to operational excellence and customer satisfaction in the industrial and automotive lubrication sectors.
