Return-to-Operator Washers (RTO)

RTO-1000 washers have conveyor belts that take a tight U-turn inside the cleaning chamber. Typical parts are washed on the incoming side, rinsed along the turn and dried on the return path.

RTO-3000 units are carousel style parts washers with a large turntable (50″, 60″, 70″, etc. in diameter) that holds several parts at any given time, thus extending the process times.

In one revolution, the parts are clean and ready to be picked up.  Carousel washers have the following features:

• Are typically two stages (wash/dry) or three stages (wash/rinse/dry)

• Designed with one or more tanks

• Option for robotic loading

• Small turntables mounted to main carousel table such that the parts will spin in each of the process stations

Custom Return-to-Operator systems include:

• Rotor Units – utilize a spinning action. Parts are rotated on a horizontal axis as they are spray washed to flush out any complex passageways. A dolly transports parts in and out of the rotor.

• Multi-chamber systems – to increase production, systems can have multiple independent cleaning chambers; load one chamber while the others are in cycle.

• Larger RTO’s – there is no size limit for Better Engineering’s Return-to-Operator systems!
