Apollo Parts Washers Shipping to South Africa with Custom-Engineered SW1612RD Model

Apollo Parts Washers is excited to announce our expanded service to the South African market with the successful deployment of our first export-adapted SW1612RD automated parts washer. This powerful machine has been expertly re-engineered to fit within a standard 40ft high-top shipping container, a modification that significantly streamlines international logistics and reduces freight costs for our South African clients.

This first unit is set to be a game-changer for a key player in South Africa’s demanding mining sector, where it will tackle the critical task of cleaning large-scale gearbox components.

The SW1612RD is a testament to our commitment to quality and efficiency. It provides a comprehensive, filtered wash and rinse within a single, automated process, ensuring consistent and superior cleaning results. This machine is equipped with the hallmark features of an Apollo Parts Washer:

Gear-Driven Turntable: Guarantees controlled rotation for thorough and even cleaning of all parts.
Automated Systems: Includes automatic water level control and a 7-day timer for scheduled, energy-saving operation.
Uncompromised Safety: Fully compliant with AS4024 safety standards to protect your operators and your workplace.

Impressive Capacity Meets Sustainable Design

The SW1612RD doesn’t just talk a big game; it delivers with impressive specifications designed for heavy-duty industrial applications:

Basket Diameter: 1600mm

Job Weight Capacity: 2000kg (with an available upgrade to 3000kg)

Water Capacity: 450 litres

Moreover, the machine’s insulated cabinet and state-of-the-art filtration systems are engineered to minimise energy use and reduce chemical waste, making it an environmentally responsible and cost-effective choice for your operations.

Global Reach with Local Support: Introducing Apollo Remote Access

A standout feature of this export model is the inclusion of Apollo Remote Access. This cutting-edge technology allows our Australian-based technical team to provide real-time OEM support, diagnostics, and troubleshooting to the unit, no matter where it is in the world. This gives our South African customers the peace of mind that comes with immediate, expert assistance.

“For two decades, we’ve been exporting large-scale cleaning systems, but this is a major milestone,” explains Toma Skroza, Business Development Manager. “To fit the full cleaning power of an SW1612RD into a standard shipping container without compromising its internal capacity is a significant engineering achievement. We are thrilled to offer South Africa’s vital mining industry a cleaning solution that is not only highly effective but also fully supported by our remote access technology.”

At Apollo Parts Washers, our mission is to provide “Smart engineering. Global reach. Reliable support.” This new export-ready parts washer is a clear demonstration of that promise, designed to boost productivity, cut operational costs, and improve sustainability for workshops and industrial facilities across South Africa and around the globe.
