This past month, Lyle Carman, Director of Environmental Systems at Ransohoff, co-wrote a case study on Ford Motor Co.'s Sharonville, OH plant and their use of green cleaning for Process Cleaning magazine. This is the second time a CTG employee and the company have been featured in Process Cleaning in just one month! An excerpt from the article is posted below: "Ford Motor Co.'s Sharonville, Ohio, plant has long been a proponent of environmentally conscious manufacturing practices. A supplier of automotive transmissions and transmission parts, the plant has invested in a sophisticated parts cleaning system that effectively recycles the cleaning solution. A top priority at the plant is production of quality parts, which equates to no transmission failures for the end-consumer. To reach this goal, parts must be shipped with little oil and metal particulate, and proper rust inhibitor, all measured in less than 1 mg per part. Cleaning the parts in a cost-effective, environmentally friendly process has been a continuous mission for the company..."

"Manufacturers in the high-visibility medical manufacturing industry are under growing scrutiny and pressure to ensure that products continue to meet ever more stringent standards for cleanliness. The push to meet these standards is coming from multiple angles. When properly applied, ultrasonic cleaning technology is well suited to play a major role in helping medical manufacturers meet their increasing need for critical cleaning.
