AUTOMATED AQUEOUS PARTS WASHER
CUSTOM TUNNEL PARTS WASHERS
When the cleaning process doesn’t fit a standard machine, the machine should be built around the process. Better Engineering designs custom tunnel washers around your parts, throughput, cleanliness requirements, material handling, and production environment.

ENGINEERED BEYOND STANDARD
Some cleaning applications can’t be solved by choosing a wider belt or adding another wash stage. Oversized components, extreme loads, unusual geometries, multiple part types, specialized handling, tight cleanliness specifications, and demanding production rates can require an entirely different approach.
Better Engineering designs each custom conveyor washer around the application, from conveyor type and work envelope to payload, spray delivery, filtration, heating, drying, controls, automation, and system integration. Custom tunnel parts washers can incorporate specialty belting and fixtures, increased weight capacity, belt widths of 110 inches or wider, high-pressure cleaning, robotic loading and unloading, and other application-specific features.

BUILT FOR THE APPLICATIONS THAT DON'T FIT THE MOLD
IF IT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED, LET'S ENGINEER THE PROCESS.
From oversized industrial components, such as rocket ship barrel panels, to reusable dunnage/pallets moving by the thousands, custom systems are designed around what you’re cleaning, what needs to come off, how clean it needs to be, and how fast it needs to move.
CUSTOM SYSTEMS. REAL PRODUCTION CHALLENGES.

FREQUENTLY ASKED CUSTOM TUNNEL WASHER QUESTIONS
When does an application need a custom tunnel washer?
A custom tunnel washer may be appropriate when standard equipment cannot accommodate the part dimensions, weight, production rate, cleanliness requirements, process stages, material handling, or available facility layout. The system can then be engineered around those specific requirements rather than forcing the application into a predetermined configuration.
What can be customized on a conveyor parts washer?
Nearly every major aspect of a custom conveyor parts washer can be engineered around the application, including conveyor type and width, work height, zone length, part fixturing, lane configuration, pump sizing, filtration, heating, drying, controls, and material handling. Systems can also incorporate increased weight capacity, high-pressure processes, robotic handling, and specialized conveyor arrangements.
How large can a custom conveyor washer be?
Better Engineering builds conveyor systems beyond its standard belt widths, including systems with belt widths of 110 inches or wider. Overall dimensions and capacity are determined by the parts, required process, production rate, facility constraints, and material-handling requirements
Can a custom parts washer integrate into an existing production line?
Yes. A custom parts washer can be designed around upstream and downstream production requirements, including direct in-line feeding, robotic loading and unloading, return-to-operator arrangements, specialized conveyors, fixtures, and other material-handling systems. Better Engineering’s tunnel systems are designed for integration with conveyors, robotics, inspection, and surrounding automation.
