A leading producer of turned parts, known for their exceptional machining capabilities and expertise in CNC Single Spindle, CNC Multi Spindle, Multiplex machines, milling machines, and Rotary Transfer Machines faced several challenges with its industrial cleaning processes. Specifically, the company was struggling with spots on the parts after washing, the need to wash at high temperatures, and the use of multiple chemicals in the process. To address these issues, the company sought a more sustainable and efficient industrial cleaning solution that would not compromise the quality of its products.
The company’s CEO said: “When we select our supplier we want a partner. For us, DST could provide the help we needed to optimize the use of our chemicals and support our cleaning process.”
TCO calculations and extensive after-sales service & maintenance.
When evaluating potential partners for a surface treatment solution, it’s important to consider the total cost of ownership (TCO) of each option. This includes not only the upfront cost of the actual cleaning products but also the cost of implementing and maintaining the solution over time. Together the company and DST-CHEMICALS calculated the TCO based on the cost of energy, water, and other resources needed to operate the solution. The maintenance costs involved were also examined; from man hours to bath and machine maintenance. The water-based products from DST-CHEMICALS are formulated to cause minimum damage on the equipment used for degreasing and cleaning and the company’s CEO is happy with the cooperation: “We have a close cooperation where DST help us monitor our baths so they stay in good condition. DST is also a great partner for advice and support.”
