Following the success of MecWash’s attendance at last year’s Aero Engineering exhibition at the NEC, MecWash will be returning to the 2013 show next month for the 4th year in a row, where it will be showcasing the cleaning capabilities of its Duo aqueous component cleaning system.
MecWash works closely with a number of high-profile companies that manufacture parts used in the Aerospace sector – its client list includes UTAS Goodrich, Eaton Aerospace, Bulwell, Selex, SPS Technologies Ltd, which has recently taken delivery of its fourth MecWash parts washing machine and Meggitt.
The Tewkesbury based company recently added the ‘BladeWash’ turbine blade washing system to its product line following the success of the original machine which was commissioned by a major engine manufacturer in 2010. The first BladeWash proved so successful at removing the casting media used in the production process of nickel based super alloy turbine blades that the client has since ordered a further three machines.
Managing Director, John Pattison, says, “MecWash will be celebrating its twentieth anniversary in December and in that time it has established an excellent reputation for achieving the highest levels of cleanliness possible – eradicating the need for harmful solvent based de-greasing agents. This is particularly important to our clients in the aerospace industry which demands all components to be of a very high cleanliness standard before they can be used.”
Aero Engineering 2012 proved extremely successful for MecWash – it received a significant number of quality enquiries. John continues, “We work closely with all of our clients to ensure we deliver a complete cleaning system that has been tailored to meet their specific requirements and objectives. This not only includes the spec of the suggested machine, but also the chemicals that are used.
“We employ a PhD chemist, who is tasked with identifying the best combination of wash chemicals for each customer application. We then undertake a series of tests and trials to ensure the client is 100% happy with the results before we begin building their machine. Aero Engineering provides an excellent opportunity for us to demonstrate our cleaning capability to other exhibitors, as well as show visitors.”
2013 has been a year of significant growth for MecWash – it has continued to develop its presence in the USA and has engaged a representative in China as a direct response to increasing demand for its cleaning systems from Chinese manufacturing operations.
MecWash will be exhibiting on stand C55 at the Aero Engineering show, part of the Advanced Engineering UK 2013 group of shows, taking place at the NEC from 12th-13th November.
