Steps to your Cleaning Solution
Midbrook investigates your manufacturing process and tests
possible cleaning methodologies in our technology center to find
the one combination best suited to your production needs.
We then take your requirements and design a system in
AutoCAD® and/or 3D Solidworks® for approval.
We use state of the art laser cutting techniques and CNC
machining tools to make repeatable, highest quality finished
products.
Midbrook has over 160,000 square feet of manufacturing floor
space, where our assembly team will build and run off the
equipment to assure it meets the criteria expected.

Industrial Parts Cleaning Systems
Industrial Parts Cleaning Systems
Industrial Parts Cleaning Systems
Belt Conveying Systems
Benefits –
Modular in design
Excellent flexibility in terms of parts, part orientation
and material handling.
Simple, reliable material handling.
Drawbacks –
Contact time correlates to increased length.
Spray pattern difficult to focus while part in constant
motion.
Rotary/Auger Drum Systems
BenefitsContinuous or batch operation
Excellent cleaning due to combination spray &
immersion
Simple load/unload features
Excellent for small parts
DrawbacksPossible part damage due to part-on-part contact
Lack of Lot Integrity
Indexing System
Benefits –
• Allows for precision cleaning of complex parts.
• Opens the entire part surface to cleaning action.
• Excellent flexibility in terms of part orientation
and material handling.
• Reduced footprint.
Drawbacks –
• Must be fixtured.
• Requires more sophisticated (or labor intensive)
material handling.
• Can not handle multiple parts.
Cabinet Cleaning System
Benefits –
•
•
•
•
Single point load/unload.
Typically smaller system footprint.
Works well in low production environment.
Can handle baskets and large parts.
Drawbacks –
• Multiple stage cleaning requires sophisticated controls,
• Tends to cross-contaminate solutions.
• Batch process

Sealed Solvent Degreasing
Batch Style
Hermetically sealed to reclaim nearly
100% of any solvent used.
Perchlorethlyne

Also known as PERC, is not banned and
has been used in precision parts cleaning
for more than 50 years. The Mac Dry unit
minimizes emissions and maximizes solvent
recovery making this a smart choice.
