Part Cleaning Systems: How Clean is Clean Enough?
Deciding the cleanliness level you need your parts washer to perform will be critical in choosing a machine. Better Engineering’s aqueous parts washers can clean across a large spectrum of needs— your options span from visibly clean to microscopically clean.
Machines that clean to visible standards are perfect for removing remnants such as dirt, grease, grime, and other contaminants. Therefore, these heavy-duty cleaning systems are ideal for manufacturing and industrial rebuild/repair industries.
Meanwhile, companies part of federally regulated industries will likely need parts cleaned to the highest hygienic standards. Better Engineering’s machines meet and exceed cGMP, FSMA, and HACCP standards and can easily remove biological hazards. These sanitization machines are well suited for the food/beverage, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and medical industries.
What material, Size, and Shape Are the Parts Being Cleaned?
Choosing an automated cleaning system depends on the type of material being cleaned and the size of the parts.
A drum or immersion parts washer can be a great choice when cleaning small parts. These washers are efficient and fast at cleaning small items. On the other hand, if you need to clean large items like totes or dunnage, a conveyor or turntable washer may be the better option. These machines are fast and efficient and can even be customized with robot arm integration.
How Fast Does the Parts Cleaning System Need to Operate?
Throughput matters to your bottom line!
Your company likely has requirements for how many parts need to be cleaned daily, hourly, or weekly. Because of this, it is essential to consider how quickly a machine cleans parts when choosing a machine. This will ensure the machine meets your company’s parts cleaning needs and deadlines.
Companies with high volume needs will likely process with increased automation and robot integration levels. Companies looking to clean a few parts daily may find more value in an operator-run parts-cleaning machine.
Is purchasing a part washer worth the expense?
To ensure the smooth progress of the manufacturing process, it’s crucial to eliminate any debris from the parts before they proceed to the next stage. This is where a parts washer becomes essential. Proper decontamination and cleaning of all parts are necessary for optimal functionality. In the realm of the automotive industry, where the transition towards electric vehicles is increasingly prevalent, and the utilization of a part washer holds significant value. This tool can assist in the preservation and rejuvenation of parts and components that are becoming increasingly scarce, ultimately contributing to the overall sustainability of the industry.
