BOX 1 Test
 This box was cleaned using our MI range ultrasonic cleaner. For testing purposes, only half the box has been cleaned so you have a clear comparison. The box had a cycle time of 10 minutes in the ultrasonic cleaner. After the cycle had completed, the box was rinsed in a second tank using deionised water.
BOX 2 Test
 Box 2 was cleaned using our rotary washer with a cycle time of 10 minutes. The rotary washer sprays a mix of cleaning agent and water through jets sitting above and below whilst the part itself rotates on a basket.
