Press Release Summary: Midbrook, Inc., of Jackson, Michigan, announced that it has
been awarded a contract to build 12 new washers for a domestic based automotive
company. These cleaning systems will be used as part of a new 6-speed transmission
program. The equipment will be installed in a transmission plant located in Mexico.


Press Release Body: Midbrook is the minority owned, world leading provider of
process specific, high volume aqueous part cleaning systems, sealed solvent cleaning
system, water bottling equipment, and medical cart washing equipment

The domestic automotive company chose Midbrook because of its capabilities of
building and installing proven systems with proven technologies.

The parts washers being manufactured by Midbrook are required for five manufacturing
areas. The areas are identified as follows:

1. Pinion gears - green.
2. Pinion gears - hard.
3. Sun gears - green.
4. Sun gears - hard.
5. Internal (ring) gears - green.

Midbrook will provide the design of the system to perform the cleaning process,
build a machine to that design, debug all program related issues, runoff the
equipment to the customer's satisfaction as well as provide integration support,
on-site start-up and training of operating personnel.

These washers are designed to be small, single pass, side stream washers. These
washers will be connected to a central filtration system that will maintain the
clarity, temperature, flow, and pressure of the wash solution. The plant's central
system will supply wash solution directly to the filter. The design flow rate will
be 60 GPM maximum and 40 PSI minimum at the spray nozzles. The wash solution to be
used is 3-5" concentration of Ferrocote 624 AAM. These washers are not required to
have the capability of self-contained (stand-alone) operation.

The conveyor drive was designed for continuous flow through operation. For each
specific part type, the washer is capable of washing all part numbers being
manufactured with either no or minimal change-over adjustments required.
In regards to cleaning equipment, Midbrook does offer standard, in stock part
washers, however their reputation has been built upon their ability to assess their
client's production process and develop an integrated cleaning process designed to
meet specific cleanliness levels within the floor space available.
The same can be said of the CapSnap water bottling equipment and Medical cart
washers. Although standard systems are available, Midbrook's niche is to evaluate
the client's individual application needs and design a system that will achieve the
goals sought.

Midbrook is a minority owned provider of commercial metal parts washers, custom
sheet metal fabrications, with high pressure metal parts washers for metal part
degreasing and specialized water bottling systems. For more information, please
