Challenges for Charles Butler Motor Engineers
Motor Engineers require a high level of cleanliness for gearboxes and ancillary components. Previously, the company used a non-heated ultrasonic cleaner from another manufacturer.
Which proved challenging for the complete removal of oil and metallic particles. The intricate internal parts of the gearboxes require cleaning to remove contaminants, a task ideally suited to ultrasonic cleaning technology. Charles Butler Motor Engineers needed an effective solution.
The Solution for Charles Butler Motor Engineers
Ultrawave supplied an IND265D, an industrial grade, heated ultrasonic cleaner with a large capacity of 265 Litres for this application. The new Ultrawave ultrasonic cleaner incorporated heating technology which aids in the cleaning process. A feature that the company did not have access to previously, benefiting CBME.
Results
Since using Ultrawave’s ultrasonic cleaner, Charles Butler Motor Engineers have achieved better cleaning results when processing the gearboxes. In addition, CBME has reduced cleaning time by 25%, which has boosted productivity.
Jeff Butler, Owner, expressed strong satisfaction with the new Ultrawave ultrasonic cleaner. “It is very effective and no other type of machine or cleaning process could achieve this same level of cleanliness.”
“The cleaning of gearbox parts now takes 25% less time than the previous method. We are also impressed with Ultrawave’s system for its thorough cleaning of the gearboxes. Even the small, intricate internal parts of the gearbox now achieve a high standard of cleanliness.”
