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.
