Drum Washing Machine

Drum Washing Machine

Clean batches of small components in a rotating drum.

How it works

  1. 01

    Components are loaded into the perforated drum.

  2. 02

    As the drum rotates, the parts are continuously tumbled.

  3. 03

    High-pressure sprays and/or ultrasonic cleaning stages remove oil, grease, dirt, chips, and other contaminants.

  4. 04

    Integrated rinsing and drying modules ensure the parts exit clean and ready for use or further processing.

  5. 05

    The design allows continuous or batch operations, depending on production needs.
