Apollo Parts Washers

Apollo parts washers are designed and built by Apollo Engineering in Tamworth, NSW, backed by more than 30 years of manufacturing. They are built to comply with Australian machinery safety standards, including AS 4024, and they are supported by the people who make them.

An automated parts washer cleans parts on its own: you load the basket, close the lid and start the cycle, and hot water and detergent do the work while your team gets on with other jobs. A manual parts washer is a sink-style unit where an operator cleans each part by hand, which suits smaller parts and lower volumes.

An Australian-made machine is built for Australian standards and working conditions, and parts, service and advice come straight from the manufacturer rather than an overseas supplier. Apollo parts washers are made in Tamworth, NSW.

If you clean large or heavy parts regularly, yes. Apollo automated spray washers take loads of up to 4000 kg and Apollo agitating hot tanks take parts of up to 4000 kg, so engine blocks and final drive components can be cleaned without hours of scrubbing by hand.

Keep the cleaning solution at the right strength, remove oil and sludge regularly and keep the filters clean. Depending on the model, Apollo machines help with oil skimmers, filtration and automatic water top-up, and our titration guide shows you how to test the solution.

Parts are fully immersed in a heated cleaning solution and agitated, so the solution works through and around every surface, including internal passages, to lift grease, oil and carbon.

Mining, transport and heavy vehicle maintenance, engine reconditioning, rail and manufacturing are the main users. Any workshop that regularly cleans oily, greasy or carbon-covered parts can save hours with a parts washer.
