Immersion Parts Washers: These units are used by submerging the parts in cleaning solution inside the tank. Grease, oils, soiling, dust, debris and other contaminants are removed either by automatic agitation, or manual scrubbing. Some examples of applications for immersion parts washers include general purpose cleaning, surface preparation, container cleaning, degreasing, and descaling.

Rotary Parts Washers: Rotary parts washers are a combination of spray and flood cleaning. The spray removes oils, dust and debris from the part exterior, and the solution flushes out contaminants from hollow areas of the parts while immersed. This type of parts washer is ideal for those with high volume cleaning requirements each day.

Spray Cabinet Parts Washers: In a spray cabinet parts washer the parts are loaded through a door at the front, then cleaned by high pressure and heated spray solution is used on the parts. This type of parts washer is ideal for cleaning parts of any size, including oversized ones.

Ultrasonic Parts Washers: Ultrasonic parts washers use ultrasound technology to produce cavitation bubbles through with high frequency sounds to agitate the cleaning solution. The agitation enables contaminants in deep holes, cracks and crevices to be removed which cannot otherwise be cleaned by normal spray or immersion parts washers.
