In the rail and transit remanufacturing industry, two orientations are used to clean large diesel engine blocks: standing up on end or sitting flat on oil pan rails. Each has its merits when considering operator safety, handling, floor space utilization, and cleaning effectiveness.

Selecting an industrial parts washer is a difficult task that brings many considerations into play. The first one that usually comes up is the size of the machine. While a high capacity can prove useful, one should not forget the impact of size on parameters that affect cleaning performance, including pump size, flow, and pressure.

Proper rinsing helps maintain an uninterrupted processing line. It will also help you conserve water and reduce the demand on the waste treatment system. Without rinsing, your line's productivity can be significantly diminished, driving up operating costs and rejection rates.

In the world of machining for OEM components and assemblies, industrial parts washers are a critical piece of equipment to ensure parts meet the end-user’s performance requirements. Interestingly, coolants are used almost universally in metalworking and parts washing.

Mechanical components must be cleaned as part of the manufacturing process or during maintenance and overhaul operations. Proper cleaning will ensure the removal of oils and solid contaminants so that the end product will function as intended. During remanufacturing and overhaul proper cleaning is also critical.
