A Mahindra & Mahindra Group company manufacturing engine components from Mild Steel and Cast Iron. Operating under the strict quality standards of the Mahindra Group, requires cleaning chemicals that deliver consistent, reliable results without compromising component integrity, operator safety, or production efficiency.
The Challenge
- Effective degreasing of MS and CI engine components in a spray-jet cleaning environment
- Reduce energy consumption by achieving thorough cleaning at lower operating temperatures
- Meet the quality and safety standards expected of a Tier 1 Mahindra Group manufacturing facility
- Ensure zero surface damage or corrosion on precision engine components
- Safe, reliable, and consistent performance in a high-volume production environment
REFA Solution – REFA SRD
REFA recommended REFA SRD — a high-performance low-temperature degreaser specifically engineered for spray-jet cleaning applications. REFA SRD delivers exceptional cleaning results at temperatures as low as 30°C to 40°C — significantly reducing energy costs compared to conventional degreasers that require 60°C to 70°C operating temperatures.
Results
- Complete and consistent degreasing of MS and CI engine components achieved at 30°C to 40°C — well below conventional operating temperatures
- Significant reduction in energy consumption — lower operating cost per component compared to previous cleaning process
- Zero surface damage, corrosion, or deterioration observed on precision engine components
- Consistent cleaning results meeting Mahindra Group quality standards — approved and adopted as standard chemical
- Smooth integration with existing spray-jet machine — no process disruption or equipment modification required
- Ongoing regular supply — REFA SRD continues to be used at the Mahindra unit.
