We thank Jay Leno for his support of lean and green, proper waste disposal, and his “plug” for ultrasonic cleaning.
A number of people have sent an article by Jay, some in the spirit of we being on the right track, and some saying that we are late to market. Your can read that article in the September issue of Popular Mechanics “Leno’s Garage: Clean and Green.”
I raise the question though of “What if Jay Leno owned a factory?”
My guess is that he would not spend a 1/2 hour or so waiting while his parts were being cleaned. He would probably need dozens of machines, and dozens of people to tend the machines like he has.
So if he had to clean 40,000 pushrods a day, instead of 40, what are his choices?
As to “Clean and Green”, he points to one solution, as to losts of Clean and Green, on a production scale, The Flo-matic NoChem cleaning machine is a possible solution.
Each Flo-Matic machine is a total cleaning system that includes:
• A material handling system tailored for the application
• An integrated clean and rinse system
• A closed loop waste management system, with no discharge stream
• All controlled by a PLC to assure the best balance of cleaning speed and economic efficiency.
• And No Chemicals or detergents and no disposal problems
We have that customer that cleans 40,000 pushrods a day, and when he is done, he does not simply dump the water and “dirt” down the drain (this takes a permit in an Industrial setting). The waste management system holds the “dirt”, until the time the customer can properly and legally dispose of it. There is no rinse water either, it is recycled and distilled as part of the Flo-Matic system. No need to heat the water to steam (using lots of energy to heat and power the jet-spray blasts). Flo-matic uses ¼ of the energy of the process he describes.
So thanks Jay for the “plug”, and if your needs go beyond the occasional need to clean, call us.

Our letter to Jay, c/o Popular Mechanics is on its way.

Being Remarkable Leads To a Remarkable Impact On Your Customers…And Your Profits
Being remarkable is more powerful than just having a differentiation. It implies a very superior competitive distinction that your customers profit from. The customers recognize the impact you have on their business, rather than subtle or small nuances which are usually mere puffrery,,,”we have the best people, we execute better, we come in on time…”
Customers are objectively selfish for gaining their own profitable results that are sustainable and noticeable.
So how is Flo-Matic remarkable?
We are uniquely different with NO CHEMICAL Cleaning, but we are remarkably different in that We Clean Better (TURI report) with NO RUST on ferrous parts! This allows the customer to keep existing clients and gain new customers as it meets the most difficult of specifications.
We greatly reduce overall costs with reduced energy costs, no chemical purchases, no dirty waste water removal, 10 times less water usage and replacement, reduces operating labor and excessive maintenance costs, which allows the purchase and a remarkably quick payback for a Flo-matic machine of typically 8 to 18 months. It fits in one third the space of competitive chemical/aqueous units with no chemical or solvent storage space requirements to free up valuable floor space, and fitting in with cellular manufacturing floor plans easily.
And it is “Green”. It meets all environmental criteria worldwide. No emission pollution, no spill and storage concerns that could harm people and the environment, no fines for not meeting government standards, and noticeable morale improvement on the work force.
Flo-Matic NO CHEMICAL Cleaning is truly remarkable.

We now are moved into our new building.
It is a nearly new 5000 square feet building which will be used as our dedicated demonstration and technical facility, as well as temporary "World Headquarters". We expect to grow and grow, but this will be our long term home and "techno-haus" facility.
Thanks to the people that have helped along the way, and believe in what Flo-Matic has to offer for "Lean and Green" thinking manufacturers.
The logical place for Flo-matic might be Southern California where environmental imperatives are highly visible and manufacturing compliance is becoming a difficult task.
Instead
Outside of being home for us, we think the Midwest should and will lead the way to "Clean" manufacturing techniques before our environmental imperatives become top of mind concerns.
We think the customer benefits twice with the "Two Greens" that are the results of using the "No Chemical Cleaning" machine. Ask us what that means for you.
Directions are a click away, check the bottom right link on the main (Home) page to a map.
