Automotive Components Manufacturer Reduces Cleaning Costs by 30% with Master STAGES™ CLEAN 2029 and Task2™ GF

A ground-breaking automotive components manufacturer and supplier based in India was consuming high volumes of cleaner and was still unable to clean the grease and residue from parts. That was until they made the switch to Master STAGES CLEAN 2029 "One Step," which led to impressive results - a significant reduction in cleaner consumption.

THE CHALLENGE

The customer manufactures a number of steel and alloy transmission parts and components. Prior to completion, the customer cleans each part in a high-pressure spray washer. Their previous cleaning products were unable to thoroughly remove the grease, residue, and contaminants on the parts. This resulted in higher cleaner consumption, increased labor and part costs, and reduced throughput.

THE SOLUTION

The customer switched to the Master STAGES™ product range in their high pressure machines:

Master STAGES CLEAN 2029 "One Step," is a high-performance concentrated cleaner primarily designed for spray washers and immersion tanks. The product is ideally suited for many parts cleaning applications and metals, and will provide in-process corrosion protection. Master STAGES Task2™ is an industrial strength, water-based maintenance cleaner known for easily removing tough soils and residues.

The customer used these cleaners in tandem in their high-pressure washer, replacing two leading competitors.

THE RESULTS

After switching to Master STAGES, the customer completely eliminated the need to re-clean parts. The Master Fluid Solutions^® cleaners completely cut through all grease, grime, and residue. The more efficient cleaning processes resulted in a 30% cost savings from reduced cleaner consumption and better labor utilization.
