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

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.
