The parts washer is designed to tackle the toughest parts cleaning jobs without using harmful solvents. Plus, its portability allows for easy use on the go or in the shop, the company says.
The newest model in the CRC SmartWasher line of parts washers, the BenchtopPro is a self-contained, bioremediating parts washer that is as effective as solvent-based parts washers but safer for the user and the environment. It employs a powerful, water-based degreasing solution to clean parts, along with naturally-occurring microorganisms to break down and convert oil, grease and carbon-based contaminants into water and CO2, CRC says.
The CRC SmartWasher BenchtopPro uses CRC’s proprietary BT5 degreasing solution that is non-toxic, non-flammable and does not irritate the skin. MicroPro Packs are added to the BT5 solution to facilitate the bioremediation process. These packs contain microbes, which break down the contaminants that have been washed off the dirty parts, keeping the BT5 solution clean and able to be reused repeatedly without being drained from the unit. Additionally, this eliminates the need to purchase new solvents or pay for solvent disposal as required with traditional solvent-based parts washers, the company says.
The BenchtopPro can be stored flat or upright. The unit features a recirculating pump that delivers ample cleaning fluid to a valve-controlled flow-through brush and a lid that flips out to become a built-in drying tray.
