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.

It is important to know what types of soils are present on the parts as well as the composition of the component to be cleaned. This will determine the cleaning process needed to remove the soils. In addition, maintaining the cleaning process will require systems to remove the soils from the washer.
