Automotive Parts Washers
Automotive parts washers clean newly manufactured and used automobile parts
from the grease, dirt and contaminating oils that have accumulated on parts' surfaces
as a result of the manufacturing process or road use. Just like other types
of industrial parts, unfinished automotive parts must be cleaned from contaminants
before they are moved to surface finishing or assembly; contaminated parts
pose a hazard to equipment function and safety. Automotive repair shops require
even more automotive part cleaning, since the parts they are repairing have
already been used and are usually coated in grease and road dirt. Some industrial parts
washer manufacturers fabricate washers designed specifically to handle automotive
parts washing, including small engine, transmission, pneumatic parts, hydraulic
parts and small parts cleaning.
Many automotive parts can be washed by standard parts
washers, but some parts
cleaners are tailored specifically to serve the automotive industry. Aqueous
hot water solutions are generally used in automotive parts washers, as well
as ultrasonic cleaning tubs for fast precision cleaning. Automotive parts washers
for auto repair shops are generally cabinet or tub spray washers which use
organic biodegradable solvents, while part washers for transmission, engines
and agricultural equipment parts are usually more specialized; ultrasonic washers
are used on complex parts which require a high level of surface purity.
