About Industrial Parts Washers
Part washers are machines that mass clean parts, components
or instruments with efficiency and precision, often after coming off
the production line. Part washers can use several methods to clean and/or
sanitize depending on the objects being washed. Using industrial washers
ensures that products are clean and sterile before shipment to customers.
These machines offer a streamlined process and provide hands-free cleaning
when chemicals involved may be harmful to touch. Industrial part washers
remove grime, burrs, bacteria, ink, rust and many more contaminants.
Small parts through large engine blocks can be accommodated with the
appropriate parts washer. Sparkling, pretreated or burr-free components
are then ready to meet high quality standards. Industrial cleaning equipment
provides sanitary parts and prepared surfaces for further processing,
such as finishing or coating.
Industrial part washing is a general process category that covers a range
of cleaning methods from mass (gross) cleaning of heavy industrial components
to critical cleaning in class one clean
rooms. This being the case, there
are many different kinds of industrial part washing equipment and processes,
including aqueous cleaning, vapor cleaning, degreasing cleaning and equipment
and solvent cleaning or vapor cleaning. Some use immersion, spray or
ultra-sonic techniques to obtain results. Conventional parts washing
processes and equipment, such as hot water cleaning and degreasing equipment,
are usually adequate for the removal of lubricants, machining oil, grease
and other soluble surface debris that is easily apparent to the naked
eye. Critical cleaning requires washing finer particles with a higher
degree of precision and confirming the parts meet the standard in the
process.
Part washing equipment is crucial for manufacturing processes because
many companies require cleaned parts and components either for further
processing or for their customers. Specialized parts washing equipment
provides for an efficient hands-free way to achieve this. Important considerations
when selecting cleaning equipment are what the parts are made out of,
the number of parts and the material that needs to be washed and cleaned
away. These factors affect the kind of equipment needed, since they range
from sink top loading washers to a closed loop cleaning system. Closed
loop systems include spray washers or agitators, rinse tanks, drying
areas and drain tanks.
The industrial part washing industry used to rely heavily on solvents
in the cleaning process. Due to changes in regulations and attitudes
in relation to anything damaging or potentially damaging to the environment,
this has greatly changed. Currently, the more common methods include
water based cleaning methods like ultrasonic and aqueous cleaning systems
and parts washers and bioremediation methods.

Types of Industrial Parts Washers
-
and is the
use of water and chemicals to cleanse components; agitation, rotations
and/or jet spraying along with appropriate detergents, saponifiers and
any other additive required to improve solubility and removal of soil
Aqueous cleaners are basic, acidic or neutral.
-
is a cleaning process with extremely specific requirements so that cleaned
parts meet highly stringent standards and have some form of measurability
integrated in the process. Industrial cleaning equipment is built to
meet extremely strict cleanliness standards.
-
is the most common cleansing process used for industrial applications,
and involves the bulk cleaning of products.
- are machines that clean industrial parts.
- are machines that clean components after they come off the production line.
- mass cleans heavy industrial components.
- is the group of mechanisms and machines used to clean industrial parts.
-
is the cleansing of parts so there are no contaminants at a predetermined
level in the process; following processes cannot support contaminants
left from the previous level.
-
is a cleaning process that utilizes vibrations and waves; frequencies
between 40 and 400 KHz, emitted by transducer, result in the expansion
of air bubbles in a liquid until the bubbles implode in high pressure
areas; this is known as cavitation, which causes energy transferals
able to displace contaminants from a substrate surface.
