2010 Pero Degreasing Open House
KUMI SOLUTIONS’ OPEN HOUSE SUCCESS
Order win underlines latest advances in surface cleaning technology
The securing of an order for a Pero high speed vapour degreasing machine has underlined the success of a recent series of industry workshops organised by cleaning systems specialist Kumi Solutions in conjunction with Safechem and equipment manufacturer Pero.
During the events, more than 60 attendees learned how to achieve top quality surface cleaning results while complying with latest legal and environmental requirements. Seminar sessions
highlighted topics as varied as users’ and suppliers’ legal obligations, safe and sustainable cleaning methods, risk management, solvent selection and optimisation, and the latest cleaning technology developments - not only enabling customers to fulfil an EU Solvents Emissions Directive (SED) requirement of investigating the use of reduced risk solvents, wherever possible, but also learning how they can continue to employ trichloroethylene on a long term basis.
Back-to-back demonstrations of four Pero machines allowed customers to evaluate the results of different cleaning chemistry’s on their own products, as well as to see the latest developments in vapour degreasing equipment in action for themselves.
“We have been delighted at the response to our open days,” said Kumi Solution’s managing director, Simon Graham. “Attendees ranged from representatives of a Formula One race team and several aerospace companies, to repetition turned parts producers and fastener manufactures. We even had a company specialising in recycling high grade alloys. As a result, demonstrations covered the full spectrum of application requirements; from the machining of components in exotic alloys to the cleaning and reprocessing of the swarf generated in their manufacture.
“The machine order placed during the show underlines the capabilities of Pero’s equipment and must the fastest sale in our company’s history - taking just 18 days from initial enquiry to receipt of order. We are also working on a number of further opportunities that originated at the open days. I am therefore confident that the events will prove to be the springboard for additional equipment sales over coming months.”
