For a large shop the hot detergent blast cabinet work very nicely. the
solvent is water and detergent. the waste can be stored in my sand trap
and pumped out every 6 months along with what is washed off the floor. I
have a small one, can take anything that can fit in a 30" cube, turn
table in the bottom turns the work so the 13 jets can get to all the
work. I have seen cabinets large enough to handle a GE J79 jet engine.
Mine is on lease for less then Safety-Clean was charging for one small
sink with Exon-95 solvent and one agitated phenol bath, of course I have
to service the jet cabinet myself. Small parts can be a problem due to
the force of the jets moving them around, for nuts , bolts etc. I use a
wire basket with wire lid, for plastic timing covers and the like I just
weight them down with pulleys or what ever is at hand.
