Four questions and we can spec your machine
You don’t need to know which machine you want. Answer these in your enquiry and our team will recommend one.
01
What are you cleaning?
Engine blocks, final drive hubs, undercarriage, gearboxes or general workshop parts. Tell us the parts and what they are made of.
02
How heavy is the biggest job?
Our spray washers take single jobs from 250 kg to 4000 kg, and our hot tanks up to 4000 kg. The heaviest part sets the size.
03
How do you clean them now?
Pressure washer, solvent sink, an outside contractor or a whole afternoon of someone’s time. Your current process shows us where the hours go.
04
What needs to change?
Labour hours, chemical spend, power bills, safety or consistent results. Tell us what matters most and we’ll build around it.
Two ways to clean industrial parts

Automated parts washers
A closed cabinet sprays hot water and detergent over the parts while a gear-driven turntable rotates them, for 60% better cleaning than a water-driven turntable. Baskets from 810 mm to 3200 mm across, for large, heavy parts that need a fast, repeatable wash.
- Hot water and detergent only
- Automatic water top-up and waste pump-out
- Disk oil skimmer
- Programmable 7-day timer
Agitating hot tanks
Parts are lowered into a heated chemical bath and agitated to lift grease, carbon and paint. Centrifugal filtration keeps the bath clean, for up to 75% chemical saving over the life of the machine and over 25% less electricity. Built for engine blocks, heads and heavy components.
- Loads from 75 kg to 4000 kg
- Centrifugal filter standard from the AT800 up
- Oil skimmer standard from the AT2000 up
- Programmable 7-day timer

Built by Apollo Engineering
Built in Tamworth. Shipped anywhere.
Every machine is designed and manufactured by Apollo Engineering in Tamworth, NSW. If a standard model doesn’t suit, we build to your spec, including rinse and diversion dual tanks, advanced filtration and oil skimmers.
We also build for export. This SW1612RD went to South Africa inside a 40 ft shipping container, and larger machines such as the AT10000 come with built-in remote diagnostics, so our team can log in and troubleshoot from Tamworth.
Before you enquire
Do I need to know which model I want?
No. Tell us what you’re cleaning and the weight of the heaviest part, and we’ll recommend the machine.
Will you have a machine big enough?
Our spray washers take single jobs from 250 kg to 4000 kg, with baskets up to 3200 mm across, and our hot tanks take loads up to 4000 kg. If your parts don’t fit the standard range, ask us about a custom build.
Spray washer or hot tank: which one?
It depends on the parts and the dirt. Tell us what you clean and how you clean it now, and we’ll explain which suits the job and why.
What does it cost to run?
Our spray washers use only hot water and detergent, with a programmable 7-day timer. In our hot tanks, centrifugal filtration gives up to 75% chemical saving over the life of the machine and over 25% electricity saving.
