Less Cleaning Chemistry Translates to Significant Cost Savings

An automotive parts manufacturer faced the dual challenge of high operating costs, exceeding $100,000 annually on cleaning chemicals, and persistent quality issues linked to their plating operation due to inadequate cleaning. To address these issues, Hubbard-Hall’s audit team performed an extensive evaluation, looking upstream and downstream, and analyzed samples from the cleaning process. 

Based on their findings, they recommended Aquaease Infinity, a cleaner and durable membrane technology. The suggestion helped save 35% on annual chemical costs. The membrane, constructed from stainless steel, ensures longevity and resilience in manufacturing environments since it operates within a pH range of 0 to 14 and a temperature range of 0ºF to 200ºF.

  • Aquaease Infinity: a cleaner and membrane technology designed to reclaim 98% of cleaning chemistry used, reducing costs and extending bath life.

Excerpt: An automotive parts manufacturer was looking to shave operating costs to help bottom-line margins. The company was spending over $100,000 per year on cleaning chemicals while also struggling with persistent quality issues rate stemming from its plating operation. It was believed this was due to poor cleaning. With the implementation of the Aquaease Infinity process, the company saw their plating operation’s reject rate drop. In addition, cleaner bath life extended from a couple of weeks to ‘haven’t been dumped in 18 months’. Chemistry usage and costs – including the cost of leasing equipment – dropped from $100,000 to $65,000.
