Designed around the application
This machine is tailor-made to meet the needs of the customer:
Process capability
This special build Sledge Wash machine is designed to replicate a sledge-like movementBaskets are loaded with components onto the Sledge Wash machine and is then pushed along the tracks in a sledge-like movement.
Production fit
This machine is tailor-made to meet the needs of the customer:
Configuration flexibility
Vixen’s Sledge Washers are designed to minimise the amount of manual handling during the wash process. They are PLC controlled in different styles such as Siemens and Mitsubishi, to ensure a constant washing process.
How the process comes together
Load the components
Place parts in a basket, fixture, drum, conveyor or dedicated carrier.
Wash and degrease
Heated aqueous chemistry is sprayed, circulated or immersed around the load.
Rinse or pretreat
Add rinsing or another treatment stage when the downstream process requires it.
Dry and unload
Complete the cycle with the appropriate drying method and transfer clean parts downstream.
Standard configuration
Published equipment provides a starting point; final dimensions, utilities, media and process options should be confirmed for the selected build.
| Specification | Standard configuration |

Custom configurations are available. eChem and Vixen can evaluate working dimensions, part handling, process stages and automation for your application.
Features and application options
- Can be made up of multiple wash stages
- Can be any size
- DESIGNED BASED UPON THE SLEDGE-LIKE MOVEMENT OF THE WASH BASKETS ON THE TRACKS.
Build the right cleaning process
eChem can compare parts, soils, finish requirements, throughput, utilities and automation before a Vixen system is specified.
