Parts Washer Regenerator Tabs are concentrated microbial tablets formulated to regenerate and extend the life of aqueous (water-based) parts washer solutions. This biological parts washer additive uses high-CFU, naturally occurring microbes that digest fats, oils, greases (FOGs), petroleum hydrocarbons, and other organic contaminants that accumulate during parts cleaning. By continuously breaking down these organics, the aqueous parts washer tablets keep wash fluid clean, reduce odors, and minimize costly fluid replacement and disposal.

  • Regenerates and Extends Solution Life: Continuously digests oils, greases, and hydrocarbons to maintain bath cleanliness and extend service intervals.
  • Improves System Efficiency: Keeps filters, nozzles, and tanks cleaner for longer, ensuring steady flow and consistent cleaning power.
  • Reduces Odors and Organic Buildup: Breaks down volatile organics and odor-causing residues for a cleaner, fresher work environment.
  • Supports Sustainable Operations: Cuts chemical usage and fluid waste through natural biological cleaning and regeneration.
  • Safe & Easy to Use: Non-toxic, non-pathogenic, non-corrosive microbes compatible with aqueous detergents and all metal surfaces.

Industrial and automotive parts washers face constant challenges from oil contamination, grease buildup, and shortened bath life caused by heavy organic loading. Over time, petroleum hydrocarbons, fats, oils, and greases (FOGs) accumulate in the cleaning solution, reducing its effectiveness and leaving residues on parts. As organic contaminants build up, operators experience odors, reduced cleaning power, and frequent fluid disposal, increasing maintenance time and waste management costs. Traditional solvent-based systems create hazardous waste streams and compliance burdens, while conventional aqueous cleaning systems without bioaugmentation still require regular fluid changes and chemical additions.

Parts Washer Regenerator Tabs are aqueous parts washer tablets that function as a microbial parts washer treatment for continuous bath renewal. These concentrated microbial parts washer tablets release high-CFU, naturally occurring microbes that digest oils, greases, and petroleum hydrocarbons directly within the aqueous system. As the microbes break down FOGs (fats, oils, and greases) and other organics into CO2 and water, they keep the cleaning solution clear and functional - extending bath life, reducing odor, and minimizing waste disposal frequency. The result is an eco-friendly, bioremediating parts washer system that maintains consistent performance and lowers operating costs.

The microbial consortium in Parts Washer Regenerator Tabs is selected for broad enzymatic activity, including lipase, esterase, and hydrocarbon-degrading enzymes for oil and grease digestion. These hydrocarbon-converting microbes accelerate the biological breakdown of oily residues and sludge, while facultative and aerobic strains thrive in both oxygen-rich wash fluid and low-oxygen sump areas. This dual capability ensures effective organic removal throughout the entire system, even in stagnant or hard-to-reach zones. The formulation provides a VOC-free, solvent-free alternative that is pH-neutral, aqueous-based, and biodegradable, making it a non-toxic parts washer additive ideal for sustainable maintenance programs.

Mechanism of Action

Parts Washer Regenerator Tabs release spore-forming, hydrocarbon-converting microbes that activate upon contact with water and residual organics. Once active, they release enzymes that break down complex organic molecules, such as oils, greases, and cutting fluids, into simpler, biodegradable compounds. This biological cleaning process allows the wash bath to continuously self-renew, maintaining cleaning power between service intervals. The microbes perform in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, ensuring coverage in the main wash tank, filters, and sludge traps.

Product Basics

Q: What are Parts Washer Regenerator Tabs and how do they work?

A: They are microbial tablets for aqueous parts washers that biologically clean and regenerate the wash solution. Each tablet releases high-CFU, naturally occurring microbes that digest fats, oils, greases (FOGs) and petroleum hydrocarbons that accumulate during parts cleaning. As these contaminants are broken down into CO₂ and water, the parts washer fluid stays cleaner, lasts longer, and reduces odor, creating a self-regenerating system that minimizes waste disposal and maintenance frequency.

Q: Can Parts Washer Regenerator Tabs be used alongside standard detergents or degreasers?

A: Yes. The tablets are compatible with all common aqueous detergents and degreasing solutions, including alkaline and neutral pH formulations. They work best when used in systems already running biodegradable, water-based cleaning agents, helping to extend the fluid’s service life and maintain consistent performance.

Q: Are Parts Washer Regenerator Tabs safe for humans to handle?

A: Yes. Parts Washer Regenerator Tabs are formulated with non-pathogenic, non-toxic, and non-hazardous microbes that are safe for human handling under normal use conditions. The product contains no solvents, VOCs, or corrosive chemicals, and it produces no harmful fumes or skin irritants. Standard hygiene practices such as washing hands after handling are recommended, but no special protective gear is required. This makes the product safe and convenient for technicians, mechanics, and maintenance staff working with aqueous parts washer systems.

Q: What are the main benefits of using microbial parts washer tablets?

  • Reduces odor and sludge accumulation in tanks, filters, and plumbing.
  • Eco-friendly, VOC-free, and non-toxic, supporting sustainable shop operations.

Technical Performance

Q: How do Parts Washer Regenerator Tabs regenerate and extend the cleaning bath?

A: Each tablet contains spore-forming bacteria and enzymes that activate upon contact with water and residual organics. These microbes release lipase, esterase, and hydrocarbon-degrading enzymes that break down oils, greases, and cutting fluids into simple, biodegradable compounds. This process continuously renews the aqueous parts washer solution, maintaining cleaning performance between service intervals.

Q: What performance improvements can I expect?

A: With regular monthly dosing, users typically experience:

  • Cleaner, longer-lasting bath life with fewer fluid changes.
  • Reduced sludge buildup in filters, nozzles, and tanks.
  • Lower odor levels caused by volatile organics and anaerobic residues.
  • Stable solution chemistry for consistent cleaning results.
  • Reduced waste disposal costs and environmental impact.

Q: Are the microbes safe for metal parts and washer components?

A: Yes. The microbes and enzymes in Parts Washer Regenerator Tabs are non-pathogenic, non-corrosive, and non-reactive, making them completely safe for all metal parts and washer components. The product is compatible with all standard aqueous detergents and washer materials, including steel, aluminum, and composite parts, and is pH-neutral, solvent-free, and biodegradable.

Q: Do these tablets contain active enzymes?

A: Yes. The microbial consortium produces oil and grease digestion enzymes, such as lipase, esterase, and protease, that speed up organic breakdown and improve the efficiency of the microbial process.

Q: How long does it take for the microbes in Parts Washer Regenerator Tabs to start working?

A: Once placed in the wash tank or reservoir, the spore-forming microbes activate within hours and begin digesting accumulated oils, greases, and hydrocarbons. Most users notice improved clarity and reduced odor within 1–2 weeks, with optimal results after a full 30-day dosing cycle.

Q: Will Parts Washer Regenerator Tabs affect wash performance or detergent strength?

A: No. The microbes and enzymes are compatible with detergents and surfactants used in aqueous systems. They do not neutralize or weaken detergents, but instead improve bath stability and keep the cleaning solution working at peak effectiveness for longer.

Q: Are Parts Washer Regenerator Tabs safe for shop drains or wastewater discharge?

A: Yes. The product is biodegradable and wastewater-compatible, and the microbes are safe for downstream treatment systems. They help improve effluent quality by breaking down organic residues before disposal.
