What makes a parts washer environmentally friendly?

Graymills uses this category for parts washers that support alternative cleaning approaches, including aqueous, bioremediation, and freeboard-compliant designs.

Aqueous parts washers use water-based cleaning solutions instead of petroleum solvents. Bioremediation parts washers use water-based cleaning plus microbes that help break down oil and grease in the fluid, resulting in water and CO2 as byproducts. Freeboard-compliant parts washers are designed to help reduce VOC emissions via evaporation.

A bioremediation parts washer cleans with a heated water-based solution while microbial action helps clean the fluid by breaking down hydrocarbon contamination like oil and grease into water and carbon dioxide.

A freeboard-compliant parts washer is designed to help meet environmental requirements related to solvent emissions. In Graymills literature, “FB” models are designed to meet regulations requiring a 0.75 freeboard ratio.

This category includes aqueous models like the PH922, bioremediation models like the BIO922, and freeboard-compliant models such as H42RN, DM232/236, PL36FB, Clean-O-Matic FB models, and TLC/TLH.

The right choice depends on your parts, soils, cleaning chemistry, and process needs. Aqueous systems are a strong fit for water-based cleaning, bioremediation works well when reducing oily contamination in the solution is important, and freeboard-compliant units are relevant when solvent-emissions compliance is a concern.

Yes. And with the wide variety of aqueous detergents available, there are good choices for almost every application from burnt-on carbon to honing oil.
