These stainless-steel strainers had been cleaned manually using kerosene and a brush. However, this method could not remove sludge trapped in the strainers&#8217; fine grooves, leaving the clogging issue unresolved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only was this approach ineffective, but it also posed a serious safety concern due to kerosene&#8217;s flammability. Therefore, the customer sought a solution to improve cleaning efficiency while reducing safety hazards.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The Solution<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NCH recommended ND-165, a water-based degreasing cleaner. Leveraging its excellent performance, NCH successfully helped the customer overcome their cleaning challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Key Benefits<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleaning Performance: Simply soaking the strainers in undiluted ND-165 for half a day to one full day effectively removes clogs \u2013 no scrubbing required.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improved Efficiency: The cleaning process required no brushing \u2014 immersion alone was sufficient \u2014 significantly improving operational efficiency.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enhanced Safety: As a non-flammable water-based solution, ND-165 significantly reduced the fire hazards compared to kerosene-based cleaning.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By adopting ND-165, the customer significantly reduced the labor required for cleaning operations. Furthermore, by replacing organic solvent-based cleaners with a water-based solution, they also achieved a safer and more environmentally friendly work process.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A leading paper mill in Japan was facing persistent clogging issues in the suction strainers of its hydraulic unit.
