The CRC SmartWasher® Bioremediating Parts-Washing Systems utilise a proprietary bioremediation process in parts washers. Bioremediation is the use of biological agents such as MICROBES or plants to break down or neutralize hazardous substances or contaminants thereby removing dangerous chemicals in the environment.
BIOREMEDIATION is the introduction of natural biological agents such as MICROBES to break down or neutralize hazardous substances or contaminants
BIODEGRADABLE means that a substance or mixture is subject to or could be broken down by biological agents into smaller compounds.
Grease, oil and other contaminants, cleaned off the dirty parts in the CRC SMARTWASHER®, are bioremediated – transformed into harmless, non-hazardous by-products such as carbon dioxide and water. Particulate matter, down to 50 microns in size, such as sand, grit, dirt, or metal chips, are trapped in the white layers of the OZZYMAT®. These white layers of the OZZYMAT® are disposed of once a week to help eliminate the buildup of sludge in the base of the unit.
The OZZYMAT® must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. In many areas, the OZZYMAT® can be disposed of in a non-leaching, manner and disposed of as ordinary solid waste in accordance with the local regulations.
The CRC SMARTWASHER® comes equipped with a low fluid indicator light which illuminates when you are low on fluid. When this light is on simply add (1) 20L container of OZZYJUICE® to bring the fluid level up to normal. On average, with normal use, you will add approximately (1) 20L container of OZZYJUICE® approximately every six to eight weeks.
NO. Adding water will dilute the OZZYJUICE, severely impacting its performance.
OZZYJUICE® is extraordinarily powerful and cleans extremely well. OZZYJUICE® contains a surfactant that breaks down the surface tension between the grease and the part, rather than dissolving it; the grease lifts off the parts leaving behind clean surfaces. Note that while OZZYJUICE® cleans differently than dangerous solvents or mineral spirits, it cleans just as well.
NO. Soaking parts in the CRC SMARTWASHER® can cause oxidation (rusting) in some metals, particularly soft metals such as aluminium. After you have completed washing your part(s) in the CRC SMARTWASHER®, we recommend re-lubricating these clean metal parts or spraying with some type of metal protection prevent oxidation from the environment, especially if they will be sitting out, unused for more than 2 hours.
As the OZZYJUICE® is used to clean grease and oil from dirty parts the color of the fluid will become dark. THIS IS NORMAL: while the OZZYJUICE® appears to be “dirty”, it has simply been dyed by the artificial colorings used in greases and oils.
OZZYJUICE® is a pH-neutral, non-caustic, water-based formula that will not dry, crack or irritate the skin. Solvents are caustic and pull fat cells from the skin, possibly causing extreme drying, redness, blisters, and other dermatological problems.
The CRC SMARTWASHER® parts washing system has been developed to work effectively as a whole and complete system; CRC SMARTWASHER® parts washer, OZZYJUICE® degreasing/cleaning solutions and OZZYMAT® impregnated with OZZY MICROBES. Other solutions may damage the machine or kill OZZY MICROBES, thereby eliminating the advantages of the CRC SMARTWASHER®. The use of other solutions in the CRC SMARTWASHER® will void the warranty.
Two reasons:
- Heated OZZYJUICE keeps OZZY MICROBES eating at an optimal level to clean the solution as quickly as possible.
- Warm OZZYJUICE solution simply cleans better than cold OZZYJUICE solution. An added benefit to warm solution is that it makes it more enjoyable to work with, especially when you have to wash dirty parts during cold winter months.
NO. The heater is automatically de-activated when the “Add Fluid” indicator light is illuminated. While the pump will continue to operate, the heater will not be reactivated until (1) entire 20L gallon container of OZZYJUICE is added to the system. Once this is done the “Add Fluid” indicator light will turn off.
