Case Study | Maintenance | Cleaning of Machined Parts Contaminated with Cutting Oil

ST200 & Aquasol Neutra Split LF, from NCH Asia Pacific

Problem Statement

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.

Result
We suggested using the ST200 immersion cleaning system together with Aquasol Neutra Split LF, a water-based concentrated cleaner. This solution removes cutting oil effectively while keeping costs low.

The results were

  • Up to 30 parts can now be cleaned at the same time by immersion, greatly reducing manual work
  • Solvent-based cleaners are no longer needed, which reduces fire risk
  • Workers have much less exposure to cleaning chemicals
  • Aquasol Neutra Split LF can be diluted up to 100 times, greatly lowering cleaning costs

Conclusion

By using the ST200 and Aquasol Neutra Split LF, the customer improved work efficiency while also reducing safety risks and costs.

NCH Asia Pacific supports customers by providing maintenance solutions that help reduce costs, save labor, and lower environmental impact.
