Washing and degreasing machines refurbished
A disused washing and degreasing machine is a common sight in industry, but they can be refurbished and re-engineered to meet new applications and current legislation.
A name, however, which belies the speed and effectiveness of cleaning production quantities of small or intricate parts, where only cutting oil or grinding dust is the contaminant.
Absolute cleaning and degreasing is fully automatic and is achieved without manual sorting, brushing or scrubbing.
It is also achieved irrespective of the complex geometry of parts, even where blind holes or hidden cavities are involved.
This ensures that workforce personnel can be used more productively, ensuring quick payback of an initial investment.
The WMGM-1 console has 460 x 460 x 460mm stainless steel tank and is supplied with a wire mesh holding basket.
It features 2000W x 40kHz of ultrasonic cleaning power to generate a high pressure micro agitation within the cleaning solution, which is simply water containing a small amount of neutral detergent.
No harsh solvents are used, which eliminates problems within the workplace environment as well as minimising disposal costs for spent fluids and dirt residues.
A 4kW immersion heater is also fitted to achieve water temperatures of 60-65degC (variable), making the units suitable for use with hard plastic components and all metallic objects.
A timer is incorporated so that the duration of the cleaning cycles can be set for lightly contaminated through to heavily coated products.
A weir and sparger are used to constantly remove floating oil and grease with an oil skimmer available as an optional extra.
Additional two-stage filtration is also provided to remove particulate debris down to 50 microns.
This ensures that cleaned products are not re-contaminated when removed from the tank at the end of the cleaning cycle.
The console lid is designed to act as a drain shelf with the products flash drying quickly after removal from the heated water.
The console is also mobile, making it ideal for multi-location duties within a busy machine shop.
