Brief
Better Engineering worked closely with a client facing significant challenges in their parts cleaning process. The client, specializing in fastener production, was hindered by outdated part-washing systems. These machines prolonged cleaning cycles to an hour and failed to dry the fasteners, impacting overall production efficiency effectively. Given the critical role of clean, dry parts in their production line, a fastener cleaning solution was urgently needed to streamline operations and enhance throughput.
Approach
To address the client’s challenges, Better Engineering began with extensive testing to demonstrate the feasibility of achieving clean and dry parts within a drastically reduced cycle time. It was proven through rigorous testing and analysis that a 20-minute cycle could deliver optimal results—a significant improvement over the existing hour-long process. A custom washer was then designed to efficiently handle the intricacies of cleaning very small, oily parts. This included integrating robust drying mechanisms to ensure parts emerged completely dry and ready for use.
Conclusion
Implementing Better Engineering’s customized Cyclojet part washer yielded transformative results for the client. By slashing cleaning cycle times from an hour to just 20 minutes, productivity skyrocketed, enhancing overall throughput and reducing operational bottlenecks. Furthermore, the washer’s superior cleaning and drying capabilities significantly improved part quality, ensuring consistent performance in the client’s production processes.
