Problems with Automatic Parts Washers

An automated parts washer is a highly useful tool. A parts washer can quickly clean small and awkwardly-shaped parts by spraying and soaking them in a cleaning liquid, then agitating the mixture to remove any unwanted

Although parts washers provide many benefits to individuals and factories alike, they also can cause a few problems with how they clean the parts. Just like any other machine, things can go wrong with parts washing machines.
Below is a list of common problems associated with parts washers:

Jet distance: In some parts washers, the spray nozzle is either too close or too far from the parts that need to be washed. This prevents the parts from getting cleaned properly. Some systems address this problem by using rotating sprayers that can move closer or further from the parts according to need, which can greatly help with this issue.

Jet power: Some parts washers do not have adjustable power on the spray nozzles, which means that some parts cannot get cleaned properly, while others can become damaged by too strong of a water spray. The best way to avoid this problem is to choose a parts washer with an adjustable spray power.

Dead zones: In a no-moving jet system, there can be dead zones inside the washing machine. The sprayers spray a certain area evenly and well, but they may also leave spots on the parts inside the machine that do not get wet at all. This uneven washing requires that each part go through the machine more than once so that every area of the part can get cleaned properly.

Motor problems: Parts washers can also have motor problems. Usually a high-powered motor is necessary to output the proper amount of spray. This causes wear on the gaskets and seals protecting the motor, necessitating their faster replacement.
