Why Dump The Baby With The Bathwater? Little Gizmo Recycles Aqueous Cleaners... On The Smallest Of Scales



McHenry, IL (September 1, 2004) - Arbortech Corporation, past winner of the Illinois Governor's Pollution Prevention Award for development of its Washer Washer recyclers, introduces the tiniest version yet, model WWLG - the Little Gizmo.

Washer Washers maintain water-based cleaners online, drawing a slipstream flowrate calculated using the company's historically developed formulas. Bath life extensions of 4-10+ times are commonplace, meaning that wash baths formerly dumped and recharged with fresh water and new chemistry on a quarterly basis can now often remain in productive service for a year or longer. Post-cleaning processes, like painting, powder-coating and plating show marked quality improvement; parts exhibit consistent cleanliness while rinses remain pristine; decreased dump/recharge frequencies produce energy, labor, water, chemical and bottom-line dollar savings; gains from waste minimization to less residual hauled at lower cost per gallon are realized; production efficiency increases - anywhere that cleaning operations are a bottleneck. The Little Gizmo brings all these benefits down to a price to fit most budgets, starting at less than $4K, and a size that will fit most available spaces. Despite a footprint not much bigger than a breadbox, the WWLG can sustain a 35-gallon bath that is discarded weekly, a 400-gallon tank replenished quarterly or an 1,800-gallon washer that is replaced annually... so, why dump the baby with the bath water? Recycle with an Arbortech Washer Washer Little Gizmo!

In business since 1981, Arbortech began as a designer, engineer and builder of customized ultrafiltration systems, finding success by working closely with its clients, from lab scale and pilot testing through equipment start-up and beyond. Moving to more standardized systems and a primary focus on recycling aqueous cleaners in 1992, the company rang in the new century concurrent with its breakthrough development of the Washer Washers. The WW technology applies to wash baths operating at up to 200oF and across the full 0-14 pH range. Maintenance is a breeze since each Washer Washer, including the Little Gizmo, comes complete with a spare separating mechanism and Arbortech will even service these modules under contract!
