In Line Cleaning of High Volume Aluminum Parts

Most people see a cleaning problem.
We see a costly rejection rate.


How can manufacturers clean high-volume aluminum parts in-line without increasing scrap?

In this cosmetic packaging application, Hubbard-Hall developed an acid cleaning process that removed oil in 45 seconds, prevented downstream contamination and saw a 5x reduction in rejects. Watch the video to see how the manufacturer changed its cleaning process.

The challenge: In-line cleaning

Clean high-volume aluminum parts inline – without oil contaminating downstream tanks.

The choice: AquaEase 2289

Hubbard-Hall developed an acid cleaner that removed oils within the manufacturer’s 45-second cleaning window. This allowed the manufacturer to clean parts in-line without a separate degreasing step.

The change: 5X reduction in rejects
