How to clean three roll mill rollers

Posted in General at 5:00 pm by Administrator

Recently we visited our customer using our Three Roll Mill to make lipstick destined for Wal-Mart. They shared their preferred method to clean rollers using Mineral Spirits, or also known as White Spirits. They said this mild solvent is great for cleaning up oils and greases, so great for lipsticks. Also, this low volatility petroleum distillate is inexpensive, and safe.
