Why Test Clean Parts Before Buying a Machine?
Assessing which system would work best for your applications can be daunting, as you must ensure that your material/parts/components will be cleaned thoroughly. At Better Engineering, we offer free parts testing, where our engineers will work specifically on your parts to ensure that we design and build a machine that exceeds the level of cleanliness your business requires.
Our industrial aqueous parts washers and sanitizing systems at BE include turntable washers, conveyor washers, immersion and ultra-sonic cleaning systems, clean-in-place (CIP), and sanitary systems. Built with sustainable manufacturing processes in mind, our systems use eco-friendly, highly effective, water-soluble detergents to remove grease and clean your parts.
How does parts testing work?
Our Testing Methods
Just as there are different types of parts and cleaning requirements, we use different tests to determine part cleanliness. Various testing methods include:
Gravimetric testing
Relies on a final determination of weight as a means of quantifying a particulate substance whose components are being measured.
Microscopic Analysis
Observation through a microscope to determine the number, size, and quantity of the particles. Particles photographed through the microscope are measured for reporting.
Dyne Testing
A standard method of assessing the cleanliness of a material’s surface by using a dyne’s fluid. Dyne testing determines the surface energy and measures the surface tension of a liquid.
Water Break Testing
A method that uses DI water to verify surface part cleanliness. Water beads on a surface that contains oily residues; if the water does not bead then the surface is free of contaminants.

There is always an open invitation to our customers to come and tour our facility in Joppa, MD. If you are testing parts, we welcome you to spend the day with our test center technicians and test engineers to see how they determine what machine will work best for your application.
Frequently asked Questions
Is it truly free to test my parts?
Yes! Send your parts to us, and we will test them free of charge. We at BE understand the stress of finding a provider for your aqueous washer needs and want to make it as easy as possible for our customers.
Will I get my part(s) back after testing?
Yes! Better Engineering will ship your parts back to you after testing.
What if BE can't find a solution?
Parts testing is not linear. Sometimes we need to go through several trials with different machines or detergents to find the right fit. But, our test engineers are committed to finding a machine that fits your needs. We often build custom machines for our customers with specific needs!
How long does it take to receive results?
Once your parts arrive at our building, you will be assigned a test technician and a test engineer. On average, it takes ten days to recieve machine recommendations and confirmation that our machines will meet your cleanliness criteria. However, depending on your parts, times may vary. But don’t worry; our experts will be in touch every step of the way with updates.
