Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
|
First off, you must figure out what to do with the extra space it frees up. Also you don't need it next to the door or window it now sits near because of the fumes that the current machine emits. You can also cap off the cealing vent (if you vent) and figure out what to do with the energy savings that will come from using the Flo-matic machine.
The limiting factor is your current process flow. The machine is modular, so we can accomodate conveyor, drum, or hook line continuous feeds. In one application we recommended just putting it between thier current line, and the powder paint line it feeds, and just tear out the tanks later when you figure out how to get them out of the plant.
The machine also is small enough, and flexible enough to fit in a manufacturing cell, which makes your "lean manufacturing" system work.

Believe it or not, you don't put any in. See our lab results labeled "Turi Report" for documentation of the "The No Chemical Cleaning" process.
If you accidently pour some WD-40, or something else like that in. the machine will treat it like the contaminate on your parts, and take it out of the process. Just add 60 gallons of tap water, and of course the parts to be cleaned. Nothing else to do.

Again read the "Turi Report". It is a repeatable process based on accepted science. For years workers have noticed that an emulsion of organic soil was formed on parts when they were bombarded with ultra-sonic pressure waves in batch cleaning tanks.
Flo-Matic discovered how to provide those pressure waves in a continuous process, and how to rinse off the water-soil emulsion.
This is not labratory equipment, this is continuous process equipment for use in on the factory floor.

Go to the USPTO website and look at patent #6,368,414
There are 3 patents pending, and other IP protection and trade secret policies in place. The inventor, Walter Johnson has a multi-million dollar investment in this machine and process. As with most breakthough technologies, the innovator came from outside the industy with the attitude of "why not?".

This is a production machine designed for the factory floor. We have machines in daily operation, as an example cleaning 40,000 push rods per day for Briggs and Stratton (at a supplier), and a variety of parts at locations around the country.
The speed is dependent on the size of the part, the complexity of the part, and the soil to be removed.
We invite you to fill out a request for more information, along with some data on your needs.

It is recovered for reuse. This is one of the most important reasons why the product's benefit to you are expressed in the "Two Greens".
Imagine washing dishes over and over for weeks in old greasy dish water. That is what 99.9% of parts cleaning apllications can be described as doing. The only way to insure cleaning consistency is a method of continuous replacement of the water that carries off the "soil". Only the Flo-matic machine can do that in a production process environment.
The Flo-matic machine continously distills the water, and separates the contaminates in that process. Your parts are consistently cleaned because the water that contacts your part to carry off the "soil" is always distilled. Imagine again your glasses cleaned in week old dishwater with soap? Yuk!!!
