Is the new cleaning system environmentally-friendly?
A. Yes. By converting to an aqueous cleaning system Hudson Technologies is becoming a greener manufacturer. Aqueous, or water-based, systems are much more environmentally friendly to work with compared with solvent-based cleaning equipment and materials. Cost Q: How much did the new system cost to implement? A: Hudson Technologies invested over two years and $2 million in research, development, equipment and training to bring this eco-friendly system online at our 115,000 square foot manufacturing facility. How it works Q: How does the aqueous cleaning system work? A: In the aqueous cleaning system, manufactured parts are cleaned using up and down agitation. This vertical agitation produces a natural hydraulic purging action that forces a water-based solution between parts and in and out of cavities, providing a high degree of fluid exchange for fast cleaning. The vertical agitation is further enhanced by basket rotation, high pressure submerged spray and ultrasonics. Drying is achieve
