PRECISION CLEANING OF ENGINEERING COMPONENTS

MecWash are true experts in the process

of washing, supported by our laboratory

for wash trials and developing our own

detergents to ensure the perfect finish in

challenging applications. Our machines are

both highly efficient and robust, thriving in

tough industrial environments. MecWash

serves many of the leading names in

engineering, in sectors such as aerospace,

automotive, defence, medical, motorsport

and general engineering.

MecWash apply very high volumes of water

through open nozzles to produce a heavy

spray/flood washing process that penetrates

and cleans masses of small parts in baskets

or complex parts in specialised fixtures.

Full rotation of the workload exposes

all the component surfaces, machined holes,

recesses and galleries to the process

solutions and provides effective draining

and drying. Parts with simple geometries

can also be gently oscillated from side

to side.

Ultrasonics can be specified to assist the

cleaning of small holes and to remove fine

particulates and adhered contaminants such

as polishing compounds, lapping paste and

casting sand from the component surfaces.

While many components can be cleaned in

simple baskets, complex parts

may require a tailored

The process concludes with high velocity

hot air and vacuum drying to ensure rapid

The Midi

Developed to satisfy the needs ofinter-stage, in-cell and in some casesfinal cleaning of machinedcomponents to high standards. TheSolo system is supplied in three sizes, all of which provide rotationalwashing, mist rinsing and hot airdrying in a very compact footprint,saving on valuable floor space. TheSolo far outperforms traditional dunk washers, rotary basket andtunnel washers for cleanliness andeffective drying.

• Effective removal of preservativeoils, machining lubricants, metalswarf and chips from machinedcomponents

• Fully enclosed - no steam andunpleasant vapours

• Rotational high volume spraywashing, mist rinsing and hot air drying

• Very compact footprint, savingvaluable floor space

• Over 200 Solo Systems have beensupplied to customers around the world

SOLO SYSTEMSOLO INTER-STAGE WASHING & DRYING SYSTEMS

The Duo System is a naturalprogression of the established Solosystem. The Duo has the addedbenefits of flood/immersion washing,which provides higher standards of cleaning by full solution contact with all component surfaces, and are-circulating heated spray rinse,which provides higher standards ofsurface finish by removing detergentresidues left by the wash solution.The rinse stage can also be used toapply a longer term corrosioninhibitor for ferrous components. All finished off with a hot air dry.

• Highly versatile aqueous cleaningsystem, suits both largecomponents and dense baskets of small parts

• Final wash quality withintermediate wash cost

• Precision cleaning, but footprintsmall enough for a cell

• Optional integrated oil separatorand steam condenser
