MecWash revolutionises productivity The addition of the MecWash MWX300 has made a dramatic impact at IMI Truflo Marine, increasing cleaning productivity over six times whilst vastly reducing the operational manpower required. IMI Truflo Marine noted a significant improvement in both efficiencies and the standard of cleaning which helped the business meet global demand. The historic naval valve manufacturer make flow control solutions, with over 120,000 valves in service to 24 of the world’s naval fleets.
IMI Truflo Marine contacted Paul Jarratt, sales manager at MecWash, to enquire about upgrading to a high-performance aqueous cleaning system to improve their cleaning programme. Paul Jarratt comments: “Speaking with the team at IMI Truflo Marine, it was clear we could build a machine that would make a substantial difference to the output of the business. We discussed their current cleaning programme which consisted of two large ultrasonic dip tanks and required a sizable amount of energy and resources. “The MWX300 was the ideal machine for application at IMI Truflo Marine. The precision cleaning and sophisticated drying processes would ensure the components are free of contaminants, preserving the critical tolerances necessary. Marine components have very tight tolerances, and even small amounts of
dirt or contamination can prevent them from functioning properly,” said Paul. MecWash works alongside companies from across manufacturing and engineering to design and build bespoke parts washing machines to streamline their cleaning regimes. The experienced team designs and builds industrial parts washers for particularly difficult cleaning challenges. Customers receive an in-house laboratory analysis of complex component cleaning issues and MecWash can specify or develop specialist cleaning chemicals when required. IMI Truflo Marine has been a specialist in the design and manufacture of high integrity valves, actuators and pressure reducing stations for critical naval marine applications for over 60 years.
