Parts Washing Machine

Clean machinery parts with industrial parts washing machines
By Denise Brown A machine for washing industrial parts uses a variety of cleaning solutions, depending on what type of product you are cleaning. Some types of washing machine for industrial parts use water and detergents, while others use mineral spirits to break up oily residues.
 

As you look at a parts washing machine for your shop, you should consider what kinds of parts you will need to clean. That should help you figure out what size machine you need. You should also consider the style of machine you want. There are three basic styles:

1. Turntable washing machines for industrial parts rotate the parts under cleaning jets.

2. Conveyor machines for washing industrial parts pull the parts from one end of the parts washing machine to the other through various cleaning phases.

3. Tumbling parts washing machines put the pieces into baskets that rotate to expose parts to the cleaning process.

Select spray industrial parts washing machines

To operate spray industrial parts washing machines, you put the parts on the turntable, conveyor belt or in the tumbling basket. The washing machine uses high-pressure spray to clean the industrial parts of any oil or other debris.
