Our Cleaning Methods
Based on EPA protocols, our ProClean containers are cleaned to exacting specifications. We offer three specific cleaning methods, which we recommend based on the container material and chosen application.
At our facility, customized programmable industrial washers ensure each container receives a series of high-pressure washes, as well as acid and deionized water rinses. Forced-air conveyor ovens bake the containers to complete the process.
