Advances in surface pre‐treatment systems

Introduction The range of rapid, non‐destructive liquid cleaning systems available to industrial finishing processors as a primary means of surface pre‐treatment is continuously widening, and moreover, are also the measures being taken to automate and programme the work handling requirements of such systems. Indeed, the latest technique adopts microprocessor technology for programming the moving of baskets of components and so put an end to the manual tedium and inefficiency of moving baskets of components through a series of cleaning and finishing stages in a multi‐stage cleaning and drying plant.
