EMC Industrial and Automotive Parts Washers

EMC Aqueous Part Washers

EMC manufactures a complete line of Aqueous Part Washers for cleaning and degreasing equipment or parts for industrial and automotive applications. Our Automatic Parts Washers, manufactured since 1981, have a well proven design which provide excellent cleaning performance while minimizing maintenance costs, energy usage, and labor costs. Since we build only production style units, many models are available from stock for immediate shipment. Following is a list of features on the Powerjet parts washers and answers to some frequently asked questions.

FULLY INSULATED TANK & DOOR	You wouldn't buy an uninsulated hot water heater or refrigerator would you? Insulating the wash tank not only saves energy, it eliminates hot and dangerous surfaces which could cause accidental injury.
FUNNEL FLOOR	Cleanout is a snap with the deep funnel floor and full ported 2" ball valve drain. Simply open the valve and flush the unit. No digging sludge and dirt out of the tank corners or adding extra water to clean.
LOW WATER SHUTOFF SYSTEM	Protects the heating system from premature failure due to low water conditions.
OVERHEAD SUSPENDED TURNTABLE	The turntable is driven from above and the drive train is located out of the wash cabinet ensuring a long drive motor life. No internal drive wheels to replace.
PATENTED OIL SKIMMER	Removes floating oils and prolongs cleaning solution life without motor driven belt or disc skimmers.
7-DAY HEATING SYSTEM TIMER	Automatically turns on or off heating system. Washer fluid is hot and ready to go when you are.
OFF-THE-SHELF Replacement Parts	No "captive" parts that hold you hostage to the original equipment manufacturer. Heaters, motors, and electrical components are easily available from industrial distributors such as Grainger's or McMaster-Carr.

Quite simply, it's the fact that they have been used in thousands of different applications since 1981. Their cleaning ability, minimal maintenance requirements, energy efficiency, and reliability are well proven throughout the industry.

Obviously, you expect an automatic parts washer to clean. But, how thoroughly it cleans can be dependent on a number of design features. For example, most parts washers have a limited number of spray jets arranged in a fan formation. The problem with this arrangement is that most of the fans strike the parts a glancing blow at an angle, losing most of their impact and cleaning ability. Moreover, large parts with surfaces near the jets frequently have untouched, uncleaned spaces; in turn, the fans frequently overlap on small parts, impacting on each other and losing power by the time they hit the parts. By contrast, EMC washers employ arrays of parallel, straight jets, spaced and staggered to strike at 3/4" intervals, thus ensuring maximum impact and scrubbing ability.

Perhaps you enjoy the challenge, time and mess of periodically trying to shovel or hose accumulated debris from the flat floor of traditional washers. On the other hand, if you've better use for your time, you'll appreciate the deep funnel floor and drain of EMC washers. Just open the bottom drain and debris flows out for easy disposal. Typical cleanout time is just 3 to 10 minutes with EMC Washers compared to 2 to 3 hours for a flat floor model.

When was the last time you purchased a hot water heater or refrigerator that was not insulated? All EMC Automatic Parts Washers have fully insulated wash cabinets and doors. There are no tank openings for oil skimmers or pumps that can create a chimney like effect in removing heat from the tank. The door seal is metal to metal that cannot wear out.

Having a machine down for repairs does nothing to enhance your operation's profitability. So, EMC Automatic Parts Washers have been designed to eliminate some of the worst troublespots. Take the turntable drive system, for example. Other parts washers mount the drive beneath the turntable where it's subject to a constant flood of washwater as well as the grease and grime that's being removed. In addition, the weight of the parts creates a leveraged, wearing strain on the bearings, if the load is not perfectly centered and balanced. By contrast, EMC washers are designed with the drive and turntable bearing at the top of the cabinet, away from the wash fluid, and with a suspended turntable so that it is able to support weights with less strain and wear. EMC turntables rotate smoothly with the load anywhere on them. And, should repairs ever be needed, there is no waiting for special parts to be shipped from the factory. The EMC washers utilize common, industry-standardized components which are available locally, and all are readily accessible.
