Ball Bearing Rebuilders Cleaning Guide
NuGenTec has your solution for rebuilding ball bearing assemblies for any process, including:
- Vapor Degreasing
- High-Pressure Spray Tank Cleaning/Degreasing
- Ultrasonic Tank Cleaning/Degreasing
For Vapor Degreasing Equipment:
TCE and nPB have been classically used, however, due to the hazards associated with these chemicals they are being phased out. NuGenTec has better and safer alternatives. FluoSolv Ten-X has an industry proven track record as perhaps the best solvent for vapor degreasing of all soils encountered by the ball bearing remanufacturing/rebuilding marketplace. FluoSolv Ten-X is non-flammable, non-toxic and non-carcinogenic. FluoSolv Ten-X is the industries best choice for vapor degreasing applications.
For high-pressure spray washers:
AquaKlean STC-HT should be your product of choice for industrial spray washing systems. Water-based, effective on all soils ball bearing rebuilders face such as greases, oils, hydrocarbons, dirt, particulate matter and stubborn soil combinations of greases, paraffins, and particulates. Use AquaKlean STC-HT at 1-5% by volume with water. For those who need a non-corrosive choice for spray cleaning, we recommend AquaKlean SUS.
For ultrasonic cleaning systems/tanks:
CitraKlean Clear should be your product of choice for ultrasonic cleaning systems. Water-based, effective on all soils ball bearing rebuilders face like greases, oils, hydrocarbons, dirt, particulate matter and stubborn soil combinations of greases, paraffins, and particulates. Use CitraKlean Clear at 5-10% by volume with water in ultrasonic tank systems.

NuGenTec FluoSolv® formulated solvents have been used in many applications in the optics industry such as precision cleaning, deposition of anti-reflective & anti-static coatings and de-blocking. Many different types of pitch and wax are used for blocking during grinding and polishing of glass to make spherical and plano-optical components. FluoSolv CX® is a safe drop-in replacement for Asahiklin AK-225 solvent (Class II ODC) as well as nPB and other similar solvents.
FluoSolv® CX has shown excellent solvency when used in a vapor-degreaser for removal of pitch (e.g. Trinidad, Gugolz) and wax (e.g. Fixturewax, Hypo Wax etc.) due to its Kb value being high (95-100).
Higher soil loading allows the solvent bath to last longer before replacement, resulting in cost savings for new solvent and lower production downtime.
