Miniwash – Degreasing Unit

Detergent is sprayed with a fixed spray boom above, to the side and below the rotating mesh basket, giving components a thorough wash. After closing the lid, the timer is set to the desired wash duration and the machine starts automatically. During the wash cycle, the basket rotates, and the components are cleaned quickly.

Designed around the application

Detergent is sprayed with a fixed spray boom above, to the side and below the rotating mesh basket, giving components a thorough wash. After closing the lid, the timer is set to the desired wash duration and the machine starts automatically. During the wash cycle, the basket rotates, and the components are cleaned quickly.

Process capability

The Miniwash Degreasing Machine uses hot water and environmentally-friendly detergentThe Miniwash is ideal for small parts to be automatically cleaned.

Production fit

Detergent is sprayed with a fixed spray boom above, to the side and below the rotating mesh basket, giving components a thorough wash. After closing the lid, the timer is set to the desired wash duration and the machine starts automatically. During the wash cycle, the basket rotates, and the components are cleaned quickly.

Configuration flexibility

Due to the temperature of the detergent, the components flash dry in seconds at the end of the cycle. The Miniwash Degreasing Machine has been designed to operate in machining cells, allowing operators to batch wash their components efficiently.

How the process comes together

STAGE 1

Load the components

Place parts in a basket, fixture, drum, conveyor or dedicated carrier.

STAGE 2

Wash and degrease

Heated aqueous chemistry is sprayed, circulated or immersed around the load.

STAGE 3

Rinse or pretreat

Add rinsing or another treatment stage when the downstream process requires it.

STAGE 4

Dry and unload

Complete the cycle with the appropriate drying method and transfer clean parts downstream.
