Abstract: A method and system for immersion cleaning of mechanical parts which includes a continuous conveyor having a plurality of vertical conveyor runs which pass through one or more cleaning tanks. Each cleaning tank includes at least two turbulent wash zones. Pivotal parts carriers are supported by the conveyor and are loaded at a parts loading station and are unloaded at a parts discharge station.

Abstract: A method and system for immersion cleaning of mechanical parts which includes a continuous conveyor having a plurality of vertical conveyor runs which pass through at least one cleaning tank. Each cleaning tank includes at least two turbulent wash zones. Parts carriers are supported by the conveyor such that the parts are rotated as they are conveyed through the at least one cleaning tank during the cleaning process.

Abstract: A method for batch washing, rinsing and rust inhibiting industrial parts which utilizes an immersion wash tank into which is lowered and rotated open mesh baskets. Washing liquid in the tank is agitated by a turbo charger and the parts are flushed as the baskets are rotated. After washing, the baskets are raised and, while being rotated, are spray rinsed, sprayed with rust inhibitor and dried. Sprayed liquids are collected by a movable tray and returned to separate holding tanks. Separate filter systems are provided for the wash, rinse and rust inhibiting liquids. Monitors are provided to maintain levels in the wash and rinse tanks and to maintain proper concentrations therein.

Abstract: An agitation type degreaser for cleaning oil from parts by contacting them with a cleaning liquid, and at the same time removing oil from the cleaning liquid, including a container filled with cleaning liquid, a partition dividing the container into a first turbulent-liquid chamber receiving the parts to be cleaned and a second calm-liquid chamber used for oil separation and removal, suction and discharge ducts communicating with the first chamber and a liquid pump operative to draw liquid from the suction ducts and discharge it through the discharge ducts into the first chamber at high velocity to maintain turbulence, and the second chamber including oil removal and recovery apparatus including one or more bleed holes operative for delivering a proportion of the discharged cleaning liquid from the ducts into the calm liquid of the second chamber, and including one or more openings below the surface of the liquid through which a flow of calm liquid will pass back into the first chamber.
