Breaking the tradition
Electric cars are the future of transportation. As the number of these vehicles on the road increase, the demand for efficient cleaning solutions for their parts is rapidly growing. This is where part-washing technology comes into play. Parts washing technology offers a solution by utilizing precision cleaning systems to clean electric car components like battery casings, trays, cooling plates, and aluminum extrusions. This cleaning process helps ensure the integrity and longevity of electric vehicles.
Electric car parts require a specialized, precision cleaning process because they have a material composition different from traditional internal combustion engine parts. Electric vehicle components must be extremely clean and dry for leak testing, adhesion, heat treatment, or welding. Conventional cleaning methods may lack the options required to meet stringent cleanliness and drying standards like vacuum drying or cartridge filtration, which is not ideal for businesses looking to maximize efficiency and minimize costly quality issues downstream. Therefore, it is essential to use a specialized, precision cleaning process with technology such as an automated parts washing system to ensure that electric car parts are cleaned thoroughly and efficiently.
Better Engineering EV Component Cleaning with Part Washing Machines
Better Engineering part washers can clean many parts in the EV (electric vehicle) industry. We clean three main categories of parts: body material, Electric Powertrain Components, and Energy Storage Systems.Â
- Body components consist of stamped metal panels and castings of the vehicle frame. BE part washers removes dirt, grime, and other contaminants from exterior components, preparing them for the next manufacturing stage.Â
- Electric powertrain components must have all lubricants and machining contaminants removed. Better Engineering part washers clean electric motor components, drive gears, ring gears, shafts, pinions, and other powertrain components to ensure efficient operation and prevent premature failure.Â
- Energy storage systems, such as batteries, must also be cleaned during manufacturing. Our part washers remove excess electrolytes after filling to ensure optimal performance and prevent safety hazards. Â
How do BE Part Washers Optimize Cleaning for the EV Industry
Our state-of-the-art parts washers can remove oil, coolant, lubricant, electrolyte, or passivate electric vehicle components, such as battery trays, cooling plates, aluminum extrusions, castings, batteries, and e-powertrain components. Better Engineering parts washers use advanced cleaning solutions, high-volume jets, robust filtration, and vacuum drying technology to thoroughly and efficiently clean and dry battery casings and other electric car parts. Our parts washer is designed to remove oil and chips before welding, leak testing, adhesion, or heat treatment.
Using our parts washer, you can ensure that your electric car parts are cleaned to the highest standards to pass gravimetric, dynes, and water-break-free testing. This means your electric car will be more efficient, run smoother, and last longer. In addition, using a parts washer to clean electric car parts can help reduce the environmental impact of electric car manufacturing by minimizing the amount of water and chemicals required for the cleaning process. Furthermore, as EV parts have tight cleanliness and drying specifications to ensure consumer safety, BE part washers ensure clean parts and incorporate technologies such as Aqua Insights for constant monitoring and data collection during cleaning.Â
The benefits of using Better Engineering’s parts-washing technology for electric car parts are clear. You’ll get a superior, more efficient, and effective cleaning solution than traditional cleaning methods. You’ll also help protect the environment by reducing water and chemical usage. Overall, a part washer is smart for anyone looking to keep their electric car parts in top condition.Â
The Benefits Of Using A Parts Washer For Electric Car Parts
If you’re working with electric car parts, you already know how important it is to keep them clean. A parts washer is one of the best ways to ensure your battery casings and other components are free from contaminants. Here are some of the benefits of incorporating this technology into your cleaning process:
- Time savings: Cleaning electric car parts by hand can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. With a parts washer, you can clean multiple parts simultaneously, reducing the time and effort required.Â
- Consistent results: Cleaning parts by hand takes time to achieve consistent results. A parts washer uses a controlled cleaning process that ensures that each part is cleaned and dried thoroughly and uniformly, ensuring all components are cleaned to the same high standard.
- Improved safety: Cleaning electric car parts often involves working with harsh chemicals and solvents that can be dangerous if improperly handled. A parts washer eliminates the need for direct contact with these substances, reducing the risk of injury or exposure.
- Cost savings: In the long run, investing in a parts washer can save you money on labor and cleaning supplies. Streamlining the cleaning process and reducing waste can increase your efficiency and lower your overall cleaning costs.
- Environmental Friendliness: Part washers use less water and cleaning solution than manual methods, reducing the cleaning process’s environmental impact.
What Washers Best Serve This Industry
The systems that best facilitate EV component cleaning needs promote efficiency by increasing throughput and reducing inconsistencies in cleaning. The best part washers for the EV industry are:Â
- Turntable: Turntable part washers can clean heavily soiled parts. They have a high load capacity and high load height to facilitate easy loading and unloading of parts and increase efficiency. Furthermore, turntable part washers rotate, allowing all sides of the component to be thoroughly cleaned.Â
- Conveyor Washer: Conveyor washers have a high load capacity, meaning they can handle a large number of parts at once, increasing efficiency and throughput. Parts are also conveyed through the washer continuously, allowing for a consistent and automated cleaning process.Â
- Immersion Washers: Immersion washers fully submerge parts in a cleaning solution, providing complete convergence and cleaning of all surfaces, including blind holes and hard-to-reach spots. Immersion washers can also be fitted with ultrasonic technology to aid in cleaning. Ultrasonics use high-frequency sound waves to remove stubborn dirt, grease, and other contaminants.Â
- Drum Washer: Drum washers rotate, causing parts to tumble in the drum and rub against each other while in the cleaning solution. This promotes effective part cleaning and can accommodate a large number of parts simultaneously, increasing efficiency.Â
- Rotary Basket Washer: When using rotary basket part washers, parts are placed in a basket and rotated inside the washer, exposing all surfaces of the parts to the cleaning solution to ensure uniform cleaning. Rotary basket washers also have a high load capacity, as each basket can hold many parts.Â
- Return to Operator: In return-to-operator systems, parts are automatically unloaded from the washer and returned to the operator fully cleaned. This washer reduces manual handling and increases user safety. Return-to-operator (RTO) systems also minimize downtime and maximize productivity by eliminating the need for manual unloading of parts.
- Robotic Integration: All systems can be fitted with robotic integration. Our robotically integrated systems maximize efficiency and increase safety as human touchpoints are drastically reduced. Our robotic systems handle component placing by directly placing the parts into the cleaning system or by cleaning the parts themselves.
