Recycling and Scrap Cleaning Machines

In the modern industrial landscape, recycling and scrap cleaning have become pivotal for businesses aiming to optimize resource use, reduce environmental impact, and increase profitability. At Better Engineering, we provide top-tier part washing systems that specialize in cleaning a variety of recyclable materials and scrap metals, making them suitable for reuse or resale. Our solutions are trusted across multiple industries, including metalworking, automotive, aerospace, and electronics, where precision and efficiency are essential.

What Our Scrap Cleaning Machines Clean: Diverse Scrap and Recyclables

Better Engineering’s systems are designed to tackle a broad range of materials, ensuring thorough decontamination and optimal cleaning. We specialize in cleaning:

  • Scrap Metals: Steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and other alloys that need to be free from oil, grease, rust, and grime before recycling or resale.
  • Plastic Scrap: Industrial plastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and PVC require cleaning from residues, paints, and adhesives before they can be reused.
  • E-waste and Electronic Components: Integrated circuits, conductors, wires, and other electronic scrap, which must be free from contaminants like solder flux, oils, and chemicals for proper disposal or recycling.
  • Glass and Ceramic: Contaminated glass and ceramic materials from manufacturing and demolition processes need to be rid of dust, grime, and hazardous substances for safe recycling.

The comprehensive nature of our cleaning solutions ensures that materials, regardless of type, are prepared for recycling with minimal environmental impact.

How They Clean: Advanced Part Washing Technology

At Better Engineering, we deploy advanced automated part washing systems that deliver precise, high-performance cleaning across various recyclable materials. Our systems incorporate:

  • High-Pressure Washing: Our machines use high-pressure water jets and sprays to dislodge and remove dirt, grease, and contaminants from even the most challenging surfaces, such as metal scrap and heavy industrial components. The combination of water volume, pressure, and detergent ensures a thorough clean.  
  • Advanced Filtration Systems: The cleaning process is backed by multi-stage filtration that captures contaminants, particles, and oils, ensuring a continuous cycle of clean water. This filtration system reduces water waste and makes our process more environmentally friendly.
  • Biodegradable Detergents: We use biodegradable and environmentally friendly detergents that break down oils, dirt, and residues without harming the environment. These solutions work hand-in-hand with our systems to clean effectively while staying compliant with environmental regulations.
  • Robust Drying Mechanisms: Once cleaned, the materials undergo a drying process to ensure that no moisture is left behind. This prevents oxidation or corrosion of scrap metals, which could affect their resale value or usability in further applications.

Best-in-Class Systems for Scrap Cleaning

Our engineering team has developed several systems tailored to the needs of recycling and scrap cleaning operations. The systems most commonly used for this purpose include:

  • Rotary Drum Washers: Perfect for cleaning small to medium-sized parts, these systems rotate the parts inside a drum while jets of water and detergents clean them from all angles. Rotary drum washers are highly efficient in handling bulk scrap such as bolts, nuts, and small metal pieces.
  • Conveyorized Washers: For high-volume operations, our conveyorized washers deliver continuous cleaning. Ideal for larger scrap pieces and plastic parts, these systems utilize a conveyor belt to transport materials through various cleaning stages, optimizing time and efficiency.
  • Cabinet Washers: These enclosed systems are suitable for larger components and more delicate items that require careful handling. They offer a customizable cleaning solution with features like adjustable spray nozzles and targeted cleaning programs.
  • Immersion Washers: For parts requiring submersion cleaning, such as highly intricate or awkwardly shaped scrap, our immersion systems provide superior results by immersing materials in a tank with agitation. This deep-cleaning solution is ideal for parts with internal cavities that need thorough washing.

Each system is designed to handle the rigors of industrial scrap cleaning while maintaining efficiency and operational ease.
