Hi Steve,
The folks who run our Electrovert MCS-1000 use something called 600A Cleaner
by Interflux USA and they love it.
I've had a local company test Enviro Gold and it worked extremely well in a
batch cleaner.
I've not personally used the Aquanox, but other folks seem to like it and
many of the other Kyzen products.
Recently, I've been looking at a line of products from Zestron. These also
look promising for use in batch cleaners.
Good luck,
Kathie Lambert

Subject: [TN] Semi-Aqueous Cleaner...
Hi ya'll!
Well, I'm celebrating an anniversary today...I been here at my new
job a
whole week! hehehe... It's been interesting thus far. As my boss
told me on
my first day; "Steve, you've got loads of "opportunities" here...his
way of
"sugar-coating" things if you catch my drift...hehehe.
One of the opportunities I have is with this semi-aqueous cleaner we
have
here. We do both water soluable and RMA chemistries here. Water
soluable for
the class-II stuff, and RMA for the military and hi-rel
stuff...that's why
the need for the cleaner. The cleaner we have is a Electrovert
MCS-1000...it's my first exposure to this thing, and to be perfectly
honest,
I'm not very impressed.
It's basically just a fancy-smancy batch cleaner that I feel was way
too
expensive when they bought it (55K from what I understand) and costs
an arm
and a leg to run it. We run Kyzen Aquanox now (at $1500-1600 a
55-gallon
barrel), and it seems like it goes through the stuff like I went
through beer
when I was unloading my U-Haul last week!
The other engineer here said that they had been using Armakleen in
it before,
but there would be a soda bicarbonate residue that would build-up
inside the
plumbing of the machine that's pretty abrasive and would cause you
to go
through pump seals like crazy! Looking at where the pumps are
located inside
this beast, I can definately understand him when he said that
replacing the
pump seals is a job that's absolutely the pits.
So I guess my question is, do any of you have one of these machines?
What do
you run in it? Is there any tips that you could pass on to this poor
soul to
make my life a little easier when dealing with this beast?
As always, thanks in advance ya'll!
(by the way, it's supposed to get up to 106-degrees here in Tulsa
today...YOW!)
