Imperial Chemical Industries, Ltd., Produces at Moderate Prices Two Smaller Editions of its Latest Trichloreethylene Plant
A N announcement is made by James W. Carr and Co., Ltd., 26-27, Budge Row, London, E.C.4, of two smaller editions of the latest type of degreasing plant produced by Imperial Chemical Industries, Ltd., London, which concern it represents in the southern area. It will be recalled that a complete description of the latest D-type trichlorethylene plant appeared in our issue dated December 29th. Economy as well as quickness and convenience of operation represent the main advantages of the latest models over their predecessors. The larger of the two new models has effective interior dimensions of 3 ft. 6 ins. by 1 ft. 6 ins. by 2 ft deep. It is equipped with four handles, and can be lifted by four men • the price for gas heating is £22, ex London works, or 119 if steam heating be employed. The smallest model, which is likely to have a keen appeal to modest garage concerns, has effective interior dimensions of 1 ft. 8 ins. by 9 ins. by 1 ft. 3 ins. deep. It is equipped with two handles, and can be comfortably carried by a man and a boy. The price is £12 10s. for gas heating, or £10 for steam heating.
Each of the new models will degrease approximately two tons of parts per gallon of trichlor-ethylene, the price of which chemical is approximately 4s. 5d. per gallon. It should be understood that the parts are rendered, in a few minutes, chemically free from grease; also that, by simply turning a cock, the cleaning chemical can be distilled off at a rapid rate, leaving the oil sludge to be drained off while hot.
