Press Release Summary: Midbrook, the minority owned provider of aqueous cleaning
systems, is now the exclusive North American distributor and service agent for
Firbimatic's hermetically sealed solvent cleaning systems. Through this
distributorship, Midbrook Inc. now provides a choice when water based systems do not
provide the level of cleanliness necessary for parts cleaning.

Press Release Body: If a company stamps, machines, grinds, assembles, or in some
other way manufactures production parts and cannot get the parts clean with alkaline
soap and hot water, there is finally an alternative that is safe, effective,
economical and still more \"green\" than one would ever expect.

The Italian company Firbimatic is the leader in hermetically (air-tight) sealed
solvent cleaning systems used extensively in Europe and Asia to clean parts with
perchlorethlyne. These units completely remove both organic and inorganic
contaminants from the treated pieces by identifying the cleaning cycle most suitable
for the type of component and pollutant.

These Firbimatic sealed systems are totally compliant with the standards protecting
operators and safeguarding the environment. They are able to successfully treat
both metal and non-metal surfaces including those with especially complex shapes,
featuring blind holes, or hard-to-access cavities, right up to the microstructure of
components made of sintered material.

All the Firbimatic systems are designed to offer an inexpensive, rational, and
simple solution to industrial component cleaning requirements. These machines
provide the very best solutions for automatic and semi-automatic basket loading and
unloading, for the automatic detection of the type of component contained in the
baskets, and subsequent customization of cleaning programs.

Advantages of a solvent cleaning are extensive. For example, low surface tension
means solvent cleaning liquid can enter and exit complex geometric parts features
such as fine threads and blind holes flushing out contamination up to six times more
effectively than water.

In addition, solvents like perchlorethlyne accommodate a wide range of contaminants
whereas aqueous detergents are usually "soil specific" and a variety of chemicals
may be required to be effective in many manufacturing processes.

Through a continuous, soil laden solvent distillation treatment process, the
Firbimatic unit sold by Midbrook assures both clean solvent and pure vapour are
available for each cycle, therefore maintaining consistent results by providing
separate distillation within the sealed drum.
