inline-washers

Inline washers

Inline washers provide continuous, flow-through operation with wash, rinse, and blow-off. Rust inhibit and drying sections available. The belt may be a standard flat wire belt, rod belt, mesh covered belt or chain drive for moving parts directly or on pallets / tombstones. Many belt styles and widths are available, and the machines can be 100% custom designed for your application.

u-bend

U-Bend washers

U-Bend washers are designed for use with a single operator or in an automated system where the direction of workflow needs to be changed. These washers offer all the custom design benefits of our inline units, but fewer belt options are available. Most units are built with a flat wire belt where the part is loose on top of the belt.

Immersion Washers

These washers clean components by submersing them in an agitated cleaning solution with ALMCO immersion washers. They are used to remove any contamination from the surfaces of parts exiting a production line or during a rebuild process. Three series are available.

eaw-series-washer

EAW Series

EAW Series are mild steel, painted units used for solvent parts washing. This equipment cleans parts that are placed on a platform which is lowered into the tank and agitates up and down a distance of 4" at a rate of up to 30 times per minute. These cost-effective parts washers are ideal for small shops. This is an entry level machine, requiring minimum 110V power and 80 PSI air supply for operation.

agitation-washer

PW Series

PW Series are Stainless-steel parts washers for cleaning parts using an aqueous cleaner. These have similar operation as the EAW Series but with heavy-duty agitation units. These washers may have powered rollers and be part of an automated production system with multiple stages and parts sensors for automatic operation. 

ultrasonic

Ultrasonic Series

Ultrasonic Series operate the same as the PW Series but are also equipped with ultrasonic transducers to loosen debris that is hard to displace by agitation alone. These washers can reach blind holes and internal areas that a spray or agitation washer may not reach. These washers are built for the toughest applications.

Standard features for all series include:

Heated wash tank with aqueous models

Float switch for heater protection when heated

Available in 3-phase, single phase and air-powered if not heated

Standard sizes with capacity up to 1000 lbs.

All stainless-steel construction on most units

Heavy-duty agitation system (PW & PW Ultrasonic Series only)

Rotary Drum Washers

These are ideal for washing parts in a mass production setting. These washers can accept parts in batches or continuously as they are produced in large numbers. As the parts are fed through the drum, they may pass through various soak, spray wash, drain, and spray rinse sections. Rust inhibit and drying sections available. The helix spacing and height is determined by the parts being washed. There are many drum material options making this type of washer ideal for small parts that would be difficult to wash in a belt, cabinet or agitation washer.

Standard features include:

Multiple process stages configured for your application

Stainless-steel construction

Variable speed drum with sizes from 18" to 36" diameter

Processing drum with continuous weld on both sides of helix

Removable stainless-steel chip tray in wash
