Rotary Drum Parts Washers
A rotary drum parts washer is an automatic parts washer that contains a rotating drum in which industrial parts are placed for cleaning. This drum is either perforated (for spraying) or solid (for immersion). Its drum rotates vertically, moving the parts constantly, enabling it to wash complex design parts. Drum height and width can be varied to adjust cleaning speed and aggressiveness, based on the needs of an individual consumer.
Each piece is cleaned by a powerful spray-wash jet, effectively scrubbing the exterior surfaces. This is usually followed by an immersion and agitation process that flushes out blind holes, hollow parts, tubes and the like, using an aqueous solution. A typical washer also rinses and dries, so parts are ready for use after exiting the machine. A washer may also include additional processing stages, such as ultrasonic cleaning, rinsing, rust proofing/inhibiting, phosphating, sealing, lubricating, coating, etcetera. Stainless steel rotary drum parts washers are considered the most frequently recommended because they have a longer life. Read More…
