Automated parts washers: common questions
What types of automated parts washers does Apollo Engineering offer?
Apollo Engineering offers a full range of automated parts washers, including the SW800, SW1100, SW1400, SW1409, SW1612, SW2023, and SW3216. Each model supports different capacities, job weights, and industrial requirements, from compact units to large-scale heavy-duty machines for engine blocks and drive components.
How much cleaning efficiency do Apollo parts washers provide compared to conventional methods?
Apollo’s gear-driven turntables deliver 60% greater cleaning effectiveness than traditional water-driven systems. This improvement comes from precision-controlled rotation, powerful pumps, and optimised internal washing dynamics.
How do Apollo Engineering’s washers help reduce operational costs?
Programmable timers let the machines heat and run in off-peak periods, which can cut energy use by up to 25%. Built-in oil skimming and filtration help the cleaning solution last longer, which lowers chemical costs.
Are Apollo parts washers energy-efficient?
Yes. With features like adjustable cycle timers, 7-day programmable heating schedules, and off-peak operation settings, the washers are designed to optimise power usage without compromising cleaning performance.
What safety standards do Apollo washers meet?
Apollo automated parts washers are built to comply with AS 4024 (safety of machinery), AS 1554 and AS 3000.
What customisation options are available for Apollo's parts washers?
Options include filtration upgrades, oil skimming systems, metallic particle separation, and automatic pump-out of spent cleaning solution, all designed to make cleaning easier and extend machine life.
What’s the maximum job weight Apollo washers can handle?
Maximum loads range from 250 kg on the SW800 to 4000 kg on the SW2023 and SW3216. The SW3216 has the largest basket, at 3200 mm in diameter, for the heaviest industrial parts.
What are the heater and power specs for Apollo washers?
Depending on the model, pumps range from 2.2 kW to twin 5.5 kW pumps, with heater banks from 3 x 2.4 kW to 2 x 14.4 kW. All models run on three-phase power, from 20 A on the smaller machines to 62 A on the largest.
