Carousel Washer
Background
This company is an American manufacturer of automobile driveline and drivetrain components and systems and is a leading Tier 1 automotive supplier worldwide. As such, they have high-production rates and were interested in a precision cleaning carousel washer to meet their application.
Cleaning Challenge
The company has a diverse product portfolio, including complex transaxle parts with blind holes and intricate passageways. Expressly, they needed a cleaning system to clean the ID and OD of these parts while handling the high volume. In addition, they required a washer to fit into their existing work cell and meet their strict cleanliness requirements.
Solution
In this case, the solution was a C-6000-PCS precision cleaning carousel washer with four small turntables mounted to a large 60″ diameter carousel turntable. This system offers multiple cleaning stages like an inline conveyor washer but in a much smaller footprint. One turntable can be loaded/unloaded by the operator while the other turntables are rotating in the wash, rinse, and dry zones at any given time. In particular, the unit outputs one set of clean/ dry parts every 5 minutes.
In addition, the features of this carousel washer include:
- stainless steel construction with insulation
- two tanks for wash and rinse solutions
- inline micron filtration
- custom fixtures on each small turntable to hold a set of transaxle parts
- steam exhaust system
- mist collection system
- sump tank and sump pump, and more
Furthermore, the carousel washer provides repeatability of cleaning accuracy to meet strict cleaning requirements.
