Drum Washers
In the wash and rinse modules, the customer can specify spray or immersion. In a spray module, the drum skin is completely perforated. In an Immersion module, water is still sprayed onto the parts but the drum skin is non-perforated in the immersion zone.
The systems are truly modular in that they can be expanded or changed without a torch or welder. The design provisions are as follows: a) the main wash, rinse and dry modules are mounted on a com- mon skid and bolted together; b) the drum itself is bolted together in sections; c) wireways terminate at each module, etc.
The drum is positively driven with a chain. The drum sprocket is bolted on the unload end. The drive motor is variable speed (1-5 RPM’s) and is protected by an electronic “smart drive” torque overload senor.
Solution tanks have vertical (seal-less) pumps with TEFC motors and single piece shafts.
With few exceptions, all wetted parts are stainless steel (grade 304.) The metalwork, the drum, the pumps, the spray and dry mani- folds, etc. are stainless steel.
Systems are modular and can be expanded with a combination of wash, rinse and dry modules. They can be expanded or changed without a torch or welder.
TAILORED FOR YOUR APPLICATION
Better Engineering’s line of rotary drum washers clean small parts in volume. The rotating drum has an internal helix to tumble and convey the parts forward through one or more cleaning stages.
The drums are available in 14″, 24″, 36″ and 48″ diameters and are tailored to each application when it comes to perforation size, the pitch of the helix, and the height of the helix. The wet stages can have spray, immersion or both, and the hot air dryers run as high as 250° F.
