Recently I have been thinking of ways to make cleaning parts easier. I use Kerosene to clean screw machine parts and as it gets dirty I just burn it in my oil burner. If I dont change the dirty kero out soon enough the parts can have a film left on them and not get as clean as I want. Its not too much of a pain in the ass but it can get messy.
I feel like the nicer cleaning systems are expensive. Screw Machines and Parts Washers by Fourway Machinery Sales, Inc. These ones look nice but I am sure they arent cheap either.
I was thinking of Ultrasonic but dont know if thats right for my situation or not. I want parts to be easily cleaned and dried without breaking the bank. Can I get an ultrasonic tank (small) and skim the oil off the top before pulling the basket out and put parts on a towel/table to dry off? Will it rust steel parts?
I want something cleaner and less messy. Materials are mostly Steel, SS, Brass, Aluminum. I am not willing to spend much on this but would like to know what others do and the pros and cons of each setup.
Thanks in advance.
