The Cleaning Technologies Group is a world class leader in providing passivation systems to the medical and aerospace industries.  What exactly is passivation?  Passivation is the removal of exogenous iron or iron compounds from the surface of stainless steel by means of chemical dissolution.   A process extremely important to critical cleaning applications. Our systems combine ultrasonic cleaning with pickling, passivation, rinsing neutralization, and drying using our own Blackstone-NEY ultrasonic generators to achieve precision cleaning at the sub micron level.  Our years of experience in this field can help you define a system that will meet your most stringent cleaning needs today and in the future.  For more information contact our sales staff at info@ctgclean.com.

Ransohoff's new Lean-Jet RB-8 part of CTG's family of lean products, has met a new standard of cleaning.  CTG recently developed a specific new process consisting of part fixturing, chemistries, and cycle times to meet a customer's  200 micron cleanliness specification.  The cleanliness level exceeded the customer's expectations and the perfomance surpassed similar washers they currently have in house. In the new Lean-Jet RB-8 all of the internal passages are thoroughly cleaned and flushed using our patented "triple action" cleaning process.  After the initial wash, an ultrasonic cleaning cycle is used to enhance the "triple action" process.  To insure a maximum particle size of 200 micron is maintained, step filtration is used on the rinse tank.  This includes 50 micron bag filters, followed by 10 micron cartridge filtration.

CTG is continually striving to raise cleaning standards and this new process will allow CTG's Lean family of parts washers to meet your most demanding cleanliness specifications.

Don't start off the new year throwing money down the drain.  Ransohoff's WasteWizard ultrafiltration system is a compact, fully-integrated system for point-of-use recycling.  The system comes complete with its own fluid transfer arrangement that automatically exchanges dirty cleaner from your parts washers with recycled cleaner.  When used in conjunction with our Evercycle line of chemistries, the WasteWizard system has the ability to fully recycle the cleaning chemistry saving thousands of dollars in chemical usage, energy, labor, waste processing and hauling expenses.   The WasteWizard system will improve cleaning and quality consistency for all your industrial parts cleaning needs.
