Extra life for older trike solvent degreasers

Layton Technologies is offering an upgrade option for older trichloroethylene degreasing equipment, that may allow companies to comply with the latest requirement for the supply of trike after October 2010.

In a new industry code, due to come into force in October 2010, solvent suppliers are insisting that solvent degreasing plants must have a double enclosure, to minimise emissions and exposure levels, and will not supply companies who do not meet this requirement. Many companies will be forced to scrap their equipment which will put additional cost pressures on already struggling manufacturing businesses. The Layton upgrade option provides the necessary double enclosure and has an internal handling system to transport work baskets from the load station to the degreasing tank, at the same time controlling the door operation to prevent losses and exposure. Layton can provide advice on the viability of their up-grade solution for individual machines, together with costs comparison of other alternatives. The double enclosure upgrade option sits alongside a range of other solutions from Layton for companies faced with parts cleaning problems especially regarding compliance with regulations, or wishing to change to alternative methods of cleaning and cleaning chemistries.
