Parts Cleaning Systems for the MRO Industry
Smarter Cleaning for Maintenance, Repair, and Operations
Every minute of downtime costs productivity. In maintenance and repair environments, clean parts mean reliable performance, fewer failures, and safer operations. Better Engineering’s automatic parts washers give MRO teams the tools to maintain critical components consistently and with confidence. Built from industrial-grade stainless steel and backed by six decades of engineering expertise, our systems are designed to clean better, last longer, and simplify your maintenance workflow.
TRUSTED BY Manufacturers
Leading maintenance and repair facilities rely on Better Engineering systems to keep operations running efficiently. From aviation to heavy equipment and rail/transit maintenance, our systems are engineered to clean, degrease, and restore parts with precision and repeatability.
Cleaning Solutions for Every MRO Environment
Maintenance and repair operations deal with a diverse range of parts, from heavy-duty mechanical assemblies to precision electrical components. Each requires a tailored cleaning approach to restore functionality and extend service life. Better Engineering systems are engineered to handle these variations with configurable spray pressure, temperature, filtration, and chemical dosing options.
Mechanical Components
Better Engineering’s MRO automatic parts washers are engineered to clean remanufactured engine blocks, gearboxes, bearings, and fasteners with the power and precision needed to handle heavy contamination. Each large parts washing system combines high-pressure spray manifolds, heated aqueous solutions, and advanced filtration to remove carbon, oil, and metal debris from complex internal passages. Vertical sealless pumps deliver consistent flow and impingement, while optional immersion and ultrasonic stages tackle blind holes and coolant galleries. The result is a thoroughly cleaned, inspection-ready component that meets the strict standards of remanufacturing and rebuild operations.
Hydraulic and Pneumatic Parts
Better Engineering’s MRO industrial parts washers are designed to clean hydraulic and pneumatic components such as valves, pumps, and actuators with precision and reliability. Our systems effectively remove hydraulic fluids, lubricants, and particulates from internal and external surfaces using heated aqueous sprays and multi-stage filtration. Each washer is engineered with strict fluid segregation between wash and rinse stages to prevent cross-contamination and maintain fluid purity. The result is dependable, contamination-free performance for every component after cleaning and reassembly.
Electrical and Electronic Housings
Better Engineering’s MRO systems are designed to safely clean electrical housings and rotating components, including traction motors, armatures, sensor housings, and control enclosures, without damaging sensitive seals, windings, or coatings. Using low-pressure spray technology and adjustable heat profiles, our washers remove oils, carbon dust, and process residues while maintaining component integrity. Optional filtered air or vacuum drying ensures complete moisture removal for electrical reliability. The result is precise, residue-free cleaning that restores motors and electrical assemblies to peak operational performance.
Structural and Support Hardware
Better Engineering’s systems are engineered to clean large structural support hardware found in demanding applications such as rail, transit, and heavy equipment. From railway bogies and trucks to frames, couplers, and bearing housings, our washers remove oil, grease, brake dust, and carbon buildup from heavy, load-bearing assemblies. Each system is designed for high-impact cleaning, efficient material handling, and complete coverage of complex geometries, ensuring critical components are restored to safe, reliable operating conditions.
