I have owned an engineering workshop for most of my adult life and during that time it became obvious there was a need for an inexpensive, effective and environmentally friendly way to clean workshop parts.

Previous to the Warthog the only option for automatic parts washers had been a caustic water based hot wash. These are expensive to run and need constant servicing particularly under a heavy workload. Using a water base also means fine particles in the solution can dry on the parts which requires the use of rust inhibitor. When cleaning internal parts, after every hot wash a hand wash in degreaser is also necessary.

It became clear that a hot wash not only resulted in higher energy bills but also created it’s own set of inefficient processes too.

Hence the beginning of my development of the Warthog Parts Washer.

I designed and built the Warthog Parts Washer to eliminate these issues. Being a cold wash it’s inexpensive and safe to operate and using a degreaser as the cleaning agent leaves your parts clean and ready to use after one wash only. Even with a heavy workload, servicing is significantly reduced with a Warthog compared to a water based hot wash.

So how does Enviroclean degreaser fit into this?

Well, in addition to designing and building an effective parts washer, it was also vitally important for me to keep running costs to a minimum while still being eco-friendly. This meant a fit-for-purpose degreaser needed to be created – and with that in mind I formulated Enviroclean.

I designed and built my own distiller so that all used degreaser collected from workshops when servicing would be treated, reused and recycled. This process has meant a cheaper degreaser for the client and an environmentally sound product as any waste generated from the distilling process is collected and recycled.
