Industrial Parts Washing and Degreasing Systems
Machined components are almost always contaminated with cutting oils, machining coolant, swarf and metal fines after manufacturing.
Before parts can be assembled, coated, heat treated or shipped, these contaminants must be removed.
Industrial parts washing machines and degreasing systems are designed specifically to clean machined components efficiently and consistently.
Modern Rotajet industrial parts washing machines are widely used across engineering and manufacturing industries to remove oils and machining contamination from metal components.
The Industrial Degreasing Process
Modern parts washing systems use a multi-stage cleaning process to remove contamination.
Rotajet industrial parts washing machines automate this process to ensure consistent cleaning results.
Stage 1: High Pressure Washing
High-pressure spray nozzles remove oil, coolant and debris from component surfaces.
Mechanical force breaks down heavy contamination.
Stage 2: Heated Detergent Cleaning
Heated cleaning solutions dissolve oils and machining fluids.
Industrial detergents are formulated to remove heavy machining contamination.
Rotajet systems incorporate heated aqueous degreasing technology to improve cleaning performance.
Stage 3: Fresh Water Rinse
Clean water removes detergent residue and remaining contamination.
Stage 4: Component Drying
Hot air drying removes moisture before parts move to the next stage of production.
Types of Contamination on Machined Parts
Understanding the type of contamination helps determine the most suitable cleaning process.
Cutting Oils
Lubricants used during machining operations.
Machining Coolant
Water-based fluids used to control heat during cutting operations.
Metal Swarf
Small metal chips produced during machining.
Grinding Dust
Fine particles generated during grinding operations.
Industrial degreasing machines must remove all of these contaminants effectively.
Rotajet spray washing machines are designed specifically for removing machining oils and swarf from metal components.
Choosing the Right Industrial Parts Washing Machine
Selecting the correct industrial degreasing system depends on several factors including:
- component size and geometry
- contamination type
- required cleanliness level
- production throughput
- integration with manufacturing lines
Rotajet engineers work with manufacturers to determine the most suitable industrial parts washing machine for their production environment.
Buy, Rent or Contract Parts Washing Machines
Companies requiring industrial degreasing equipment have several options depending on production requirements.
Buy Industrial Degreasing Machines
Installing a Rotajet parts washing machine allows companies to control their cleaning process and improve production efficiency.
Rent Industrial Parts Washing Machines
For short-term production requirements or trials, companies may choose to rent industrial parts washing machines.
Rental equipment allows manufacturers to test automated degreasing systems without major capital investment.
Contract Parts Cleaning
Some companies choose to outsource component cleaning to contract cleaning facilities using industrial parts washing equipment.
This option is ideal for lower volume users or companies with specialist cleaning requirements.
