PRECISION CLEANING STARTS WITH PROCESS CONTROL
For critical components, looking clean isn’t enough. Residual particulate, oils, films, cleaning chemistry, or moisture can interfere with assembly, coating, bonding, inspection, or finished-component performance.
Ultima precision parts washers are designed for applications that require greater control and repeatability. Dedicated high-volume wash and rinse tanks separate process solutions, while a steeply sloped carriage tray helps drain solution between stages and reduce carryover.
All wetted components, including the pumps, are constructed from 304 stainless steel. Standard Allen-Bradley PLC and HMI controls manage the cleaning sequence and critical cycle parameters.
From aerospace and automotive to medical devices and semiconductor manufacturing, Ultima provides a configurable platform for precision parts cleaning where the required result extends beyond basic soil removal.

WHEN THE NEXT PROCESS DEPENDS ON CLEANLINESS.
Residual contamination affects more than appearance. Critical operations need a controlled, repeatable clean.
Keep the Dirt You Removed from Coming Back
A heavy soil load does not disappear when it leaves the part. Chips, sludge, fines, grease, oils, and other contaminants enter the cleaning solution and need to be managed throughout the wash cycle.
The Purifier is designed with solution management in mind. Returning wash solution is directed through a removable filtration basket before it reaches the main solution tank, helping capture larger debris early in the process. The tank area includes a rear trough where heavier sediment can settle for easier removal, while the sloped floor directs soils and solution toward the collection area instead of letting debris accumulate throughout the washer.
For oil management, an automatic oil skimming system can continuously remove floating oils from the solution surface, helping extend bath life and maintain cleaning performance. You can also add micron filtration, strainers, coalescing, and other solution-management options based on the contamination you’re removing.
The goal is simple: separate and manage what comes off the part so the wash solution stays cleaner, performs longer, and continues delivering consistent results.

ULTIMA PRECISION PARTS WASHER FAQS
What is a precision parts washer?
A precision parts washer is designed for applications where the cleaning result must meet more demanding or defined cleanliness requirements. Rather than focusing only on visible soil removal, the cleaning process can control washing, rinsing, solution carryover, drying, and other variables that affect the component’s final condition.
What makes the Ultima turntable washer a precision cabinet parts washer?
Ultima includes dedicated high-volume wash and rinse tanks, 304 stainless steel wetted construction, advanced PLC/HMI controls, individual tank level monitoring, and a steeply sloped carriage tray designed to promote drainage between stages. Systems can also incorporate additional rinse, DI rinse, drying, spray, and automation capabilities.
How many cleaning stages can an Ultima heated parts washer have?
Ultima starts with a minimum of two holding tanks and can be configured with four or more cleaning stages. A process could include recirculated washing, recirculated rinsing, heated DI fresh rinsing, and heated drying, or another combination based on the application
Can the Ultima use deionized water?
Yes. Ultima precision cleaning systems can be configured with a heated DI fresh-rinse stage for applications that require greater control over final rinse quality or residual contamination.
What industries use precision parts washers?
Precision cleaning systems are used where residual contamination can affect subsequent manufacturing processes or component performance. Better Engineering identifies aerospace and aviation, automotive and EV, medical device, semiconductor, and pharmaceutical applications as industries suited to Ultima.
Can the Ultima clean large or heavy components?
Yes. Ultima can be highly customized for large components. Current Better Engineering specifications identify capabilities of up to a 180-inch turntable diameter, 120-inch working height, and 15,000-pound weight capacity depending on the system configuration.
What is the difference between a Purifier and Ultima cabinet parts washer?
Purifier is Better Engineering’s heavy-duty cabinet washer platform, designed around difficult contamination, large or heavy parts, and configurable wash, rinse, and dry processes. Ultima is specifically positioned for precision cleaning and includes dedicated high-volume wash and rinse tanks, stainless steel wetted construction, and enhanced process control as standard features.
