Customer Background
The customer is a Tier-1 supplier for the automotive industry. The company is involved in research and development, manufacturing, and sales. Their products include OEM electromechanical and electronic automotive products. They also produce a line of aftermarket products.
Challenge
The customer was seeking a high-pressure washer to clean manufacturing soils from automotive strut tubes to a visually clean appearance.
Solution
Alliance provided an Aquamate HP-3600 stationary high-pressure washer. Parts would cycle through the machine one every ten seconds. As one part is being removed, another will be cleaned with a high-pressure spray, and another will be dried with compressed air. Sensors are placed to detect if tubes are loaded correctly and not over maximum height, and another to make sure the tube is in place. Safety light curtains are also included. Customer requested alternative cat-style pumps and a compressed air blowoff. Two filter chambers with removable filter bags are plumbed in series for progressive “stepdown” filtration. A custom color scheme was requested to match other machines in their facility.
