Are you a customer? We'd love to hear about your success story!
DuraClean Ultra System Cleaner ... it really saved the day!
We thought we were going to have to disassemble our rotary dryer and open it up to remove the clog but after cycling DuraClean Ultra through the unit for 48 hours the clog broke free and the carbon build-up was dissolved.—Walter J. Getzinger, Injection Molding Supervisor, Plastic Technologies, Inc.
We have been experimenting with all avenues to solve the problem for two months with no positive results. After talking to you about adding the DuraClean LSC to the oil that we were using in only two weeks we noticed the hard pieces of burnt oil (COKE) had liquefied and we were able to clean the lines out with just air pressure.
Our system is as clean as a new unit. We were on the verge of purchasing a complete new unit which we could have spent over $20,000.00. Instead with your suggestions and your product, our old unit has many more useful hours. —E. Disanto, Facilities Supervisor, AAR Composites
We used to use Paratherm in all of our oil units but it had a tendency to sludge up after a short number of hours. I noticed with Duratherm though that it does not sludge up at all. We first switched to Duratherm because of cost, not realizing that it was going to be a better product. We are very happy with the product and the pricing. —Bill Corbett, Computer Plastic Inc.
The differences from the old Calflo heat transfer fluid and the Duratherm 600 product was amazing. After an entire year of running Duratherm 600 the sludge buildup was minimal compared to Calflo after only 6 months. The performance of the Duratherm product was working so well at our plant ... I called the other plants and told them of the performance of the Duratherm, they are looking into switching over to Duratherm. —J. Gerbec, Maintenance Manager, Cantex Inc.
We have been using Duratherm 600 in our hot oil systems, and Duratherm G in our open oil baths, since 2003. Since then our oxidation problems have disappeared and we have had no issues of any kind with these fluids... You manufacture products that perform exactly as advertised, which is not always the case in the marketplace. —H. Blair, Maintenance Coordinator, Saint-Gobain Crystals and Detectors
Since we changed over to the Duratherm, I've had zero pump and valve failures in over a year and a half. The heat exchangers aren't clogging as they did with Calflo, and the sediment in the tank is minimal.
We used to have to roto-rooter the heater zones due to clogging, this hasn't been a problem since we switched. Actually the heat transfer appears to be the best it's ever been. —R. Barnett, Maintenance Manager, Nursery Supplies Inc.
Since the switch to Duratherm G (from Ucon 500) we have increased the time between oil changes and nearly eliminated any issues.... the price of Duratherm G is not only less expensive by the drum but the longer life saves money in the long run. I would recommend it to anyone using Ucon 500. —J. Smith Maintenance Manager, Azek Building Products
We were thoroughly impressed, the system was spotless, all of the hard buildup completely removed in 6 hours to a degree that we thought was unattainable without sending units out to be tank cleaned. We then filled the unit with Duratherm and haven't had a single issue with this unit since. —M. Fransiscovich, Maintenance American Pipe and Plastics
The difference is clear – literally! We have had one of the baths in use for approximately 3 months and the fluid is still clean and clear... Yet another bonus was that the pricing was below comparable heat transfer fluids. I would certainly recommend Duratherm G to anyone in need of a reliable heat transfer fluid. —S. Bailey Sr. Lab Technician, Parker Hannifin Corporation
We have been using it (Duratherm) in our oil jacketed extruder as a heat transfer fluid for over a year now with no problems. We generally run between 180 and 190 C and often run for months between shut-downs. The oil still looks as clear as it did when we first put it into use. I am very pleased with the product and would buy it again if it ever wears out, but that might be a while! —J. Thomas, Director of Metal Injection Molding, Continuous Metal Technology
The Duratherm 600 product holds up well even in high temperature processing of all plastics that we use. Duratherm continues to work to improve their product line and delivers excellent service with good dependable products. —D. Skaggs, Maintenance Manager, Crane Plastics
After speaking with your company, I not only gathered information on your products (heat transfer fluids) but the products of others. You educated me and provided test results to show the differences. We have had the Duratherm 600 in our tanks for almost a year now and it is working great. Your free testing of the fluid just helps to show that you are committed to the customer and making sure they have something that lasts and works to their satisfaction. —K. Rose, President, Ocean Bay Candle Company
I am very happy with the way your Duratherm 600 fluid has performed for us on a day to day basis. As you also are aware I tried your Duraclean and Carb off products. These performed exceptionally well for us and did exactly what your team said they would do for us. —S. Poletto, Maintenance Manager, leading bottle and packaging company
