Any vehicle, machine, or item of equipment is only as good as the state of its component parts. Since parts can become contaminated with dirt, grease, oil, dust or by-products of the manufacturing process, a safe, efficient and effective method of cleaning them is crucial.
The trouble is that cleaning often involves the use of heavy chemical solvents, based on products such as petroleum, benzenes or mineral spirits. This can create a new set of problems – including the potential for fires, harmful vapours and skin irritation.
Fortunately, there are water-based methods that can be just as effective for parts cleaning as those based on chemical solvents.
CRC’s efficient two-part water-based parts washer
The CRC SmartWasher is a self-cleaning parts-washing system that solves the problem of harsh chemical-based methods, while offering cleaning performance that is just as powerful. OzzyJuice is a water-based degreaser made from pH-neutral emulsifiers and surfactants. It does not contain solvents, is non-flammable and non-corrosive.
The SmartWasher uses a secondary process known as bioremediation to clean the used fluid, meaning you can use the OzzyJuice again and again. OzzyJuice is heated, which maximises the cleaning action and keeps the microbes working at the optimal level.
Bioremediation involves the use of microbes to break down and ‘eat’ contaminants – a process that has been used successfully in oceanic oil spills. In the SmartWasher, this process is carried out using a microbe-containing filter called the ‘OzzyMat’. The use of the OzzyMat microbe remediation method breaks down oil, grease and carbon-based contaminants into harmless by-products of CO² and water.
How it works
Using the CRC SmartWasher is as simple as filling the tank with OzzyJuice, putting the OzzyMat in place, plugging the unit in, and cleaning contaminated parts with the scrub-brush provided. The unit also comes on caster wheels – enabling it to be moved around the workshop or from one location to another.
The SmartWasher comes in a range of sizes, making it adaptable to different situations and needs. It suits a very wide range of industries – in fact any industry where parts-washing is a requirement. This includes mining, military operations, automotive, bike shops, manufacturing, oil and gas, farm equipment, food processers, smelters and many others.
CRC SmartWasher benefits
- Clean any parts efficiently – including nuts, bolts, car parts, fasteners, screws, engine blocks, bearings, auto assemblies and more.
- Reusable – OzzyJuice is designed to be re-used for convenience.
- Protect workshop resources – since the SmartWasher system won’t cause harm or damage to rubber, plastic, or other similar materials.
- Keep your vehicles and equipment ready for action – safely and effectively.
“The CRC SmartWasher eliminates the use of nasty solvents in the workplace, and reduces the significant costs associated with disposing of liquid hazardous waste. It’s non-flammable and non-hazardous,” says David Bailey, AU Field Sales & Contracts Manager at CRC Industries Australia.
