My local machine shop had to get rid of their "Hot Tank". Disposal cost
of used solvent was getting out of hand. They now have a system that has
a 3 ft diameter rotating table with multiple spray heads of hot soapy
water, inside an enclosed cabinet. They are charging $20 a load for 1
hour in the cabinet. With the old system, they would charge me $15 for a
block and a pair of heads, and they would be spotless when I got them
back.
