Cleaning Aluminum in an Automated Conveyor Washer
Q: We are cleaning aluminum parts in a conveyor type washer. What would be the recommended detergent for removing general residues?
A: Conveyor washer systems allow for cleaning of mass produced parts, often uniform, to be cleaned efficiently and repeatedly. For cleaning general residues from aluminum in an automated conveyor washer, which usually takes a liquid concentrate, I would recommend warm 1-2% Solujet® Low-Foaming Phosphate-Free Liquid. It is safe on aluminum and used throughout the world for general residue cleaning in automated systems.
