Need a cost-effective cleaning? If so, vapor degreasing is the solution. Measuring 48" x 24" x 24", the Astro Pak vapor degreasing cleaning chamber is sized to handle most parts requiring degreasing. The unit is equipped with a manual spray wand for spraying liquid solvent directly onto stubborn soils.

How vapor degreasing works:

The vapor degreaser has a heat source that raises liquid solvent to its boiling point. When the solvent boils, it produces hot, thick vapors that rise to a set vapor line. At this point, the vapors are condensed on cold circumferential condenser coils, and they do not rise any higher. Because the solvent vapors are heavier than air, they push the air above the vapor line. Parts at ambient temperature are then introduced into the solvent vapor, and the solvent vapor condenses on the surface of the parts. The liquid solvent produced as a result of this condensation is in essence freshly distilled, and it dissolves the greases and oils on the part and flushes them away as it drips from the part back into the solvent reservoir. As parts are cleaned, more vapors are produced in the ...
