M.C.U. Moisture Collection Unit for Parts Washers
Alliance Manufacturing’s M.C.U. Moisture Collection Unit is an industrial mist collection system designed to improve moisture capture from parts washer exhaust. The M.C.U. removes water and chemistry particles from the exhaust stream and returns captured moisture to the parts washer, helping reduce moisture loss and improve overall system efficiency.
Designed as a modular addition to Alliance exhaust fans, the M.C.U. can be incorporated into new parts washing systems or added to compatible existing Alliance equipment. Its flexible configuration allows facilities to select an exhaust arrangement suited to their application and facility requirements.
Improve Moisture Capture from Parts Washer Exhaust
Industrial parts washing processes can generate moisture and chemistry particles that enter the exhaust stream during washing and drying. An effective moisture collection system helps capture this material before it leaves the equipment.
The Alliance M.C.U. is designed to improve moisture recovery while providing a practical approach to exhaust management. In head-to-head testing, the M.C.U. captured 10X more moisture than Alliance’s previous system, while also providing easier servicing and greater installation flexibility.
By capturing moisture from the exhaust stream and returning it to the parts washer, the M.C.U. can help reduce unnecessary moisture loss from the cleaning system.
How the M.C.U. Moisture Collection Unit Works
The M.C.U. integrates with Alliance exhaust fans as a modular, bolt-on moisture and mist collection solution. As exhaust moves through the system, the M.C.U. is designed to remove water and chemistry particles from the exhaust stream.
The system can operate as an inline separator, allowing exhaust to continue outside the facility. Alternatively, the M.C.U. can support a filtered exhaust configuration in which moisture is reduced and returned into the facility, similar to a traditional mist collector.
This flexibility allows the moisture collection approach to be configured around the parts washer, exhaust requirements and facility layout.
Key Benefits of the M.C.U.
- 10X Greater Moisture Capture : Head-to-head testing showed the M.C.U. captured 10X more moisture than Alliance’s previous system, providing improved moisture recovery from the exhaust stream.
- Modular Bolt-On Design: The M.C.U. is designed as a modular addition to Alliance exhaust fans, making it easier to incorporate moisture collection into compatible parts washing systems.
- Retrofit Existing Alliance Equipment: The M.C.U. can be added to compatible existing Alliance equipment, providing an option for facilities looking to upgrade their current exhaust and moisture collection setup.
- Flexible Indoor or Outdoor Exhaust: The system can operate as an inline separator with exhaust continuing outdoors or support filtered exhaust that is returned into the facility.
- Reusable Filter Media: Reusable filter media can be removed and cleaned, helping simplify routine maintenance.
- Quick-Change Replacement Cartridges: Replacement cartridges are available for applications where simplified filter servicing is preferred.
Applications for the M.C.U. Moisture Collection Unit
The M.C.U. is designed for compatible Alliance industrial parts washing systems where moisture and chemistry particles need to be managed within the exhaust stream.
Potential applications include:
- Industrial aqueous parts washing
- Conveyorized parts washing systems
- Automated parts cleaning systems
- High-volume manufacturing cleaning operations
- Existing Alliance parts washers requiring exhaust-system upgrades
Application and equipment compatibility should be confirmed with Alliance based on the specific parts washer and exhaust configuration.
