patented automatic cleaning facility.

Cygnet, The IBC Resource, is a WBENC (Women’s Business Enterprise National Council) certified Container Cleaning and Container Management Business. Cygnet cleans and manages containers used to transport every type of chemical: automotive coating, industrial coatings and adhesives. All containers exceed the strict cleanliness standards required by our customers and the automotive industry.

Cygnet, The IBC Resource is compliant with DOT, OSHA and EPA Regulations. Cygnet is truly the leader in safety among other cleaning services, since Cygnet is the only fully automated cleaner amongst all the industrial cleaning service providers.

Cygnet is also ISO9001:2000 Certified. Our customer base compliments our quality procedures by inviting their customers Daimler Chrysler, Honda and other automotive manufacturers to perform quality audits at Cygnet. As quoted by Daimler Chrysler, “Cygnet is the best cleaning facility in the country”.

Cygnet’s cleaning process begins by identifying each container with all pertinent information that our customers would like us to track or statistically chart. Once entered into our database, Cygnet will be able to provide our customers with continual updates regarding DOT & UN31A regulations to ensure compliance on each container. Once the container is placed on our automated line, all valves and components are removed, disassembled, cleaned. Once the container comes out of the patented totally enclosed automated cleaning cycle, all components are reinstalled. The container then receives a rinse of filtered deionized water and dried. The container now receives a final rinse in solvent to obtain a sample for quality testing.

Cygnet requires each container to be free of all debris and particles. Each container must pass a particle count, which is performed after the final rinse. Residue from the final rinse is placed under a microscope to ensure each container meets Cygnet’s quality cleanliness standards. All containers are then pressure checked to ensure there are “no leaks”.
