Rotary Basket Parts Washer
Rotary basket parts washers from Arnold Machine provide reliable, repeatable cleaning for small components processed in batch configurations. These systems are commonly used for machined parts, stampings, fuel system components, electronic assemblies, and other precision parts requiring consistent cleaning performance.
Arnold Machine offers standardized rotary basket parts washers designed to simplify implementation while supporting a wide range of cleaning applications. Available in manual, automated loading, and unloading configurations, these systems can incorporate spray wash, immersion, ultrasonic cleaning, rinsing, and drying processes.
Standard 4 or 8-basket capacities provide flexibility for different throughput goals and part sizes while helping manufacturers maintain predictable cleaning results and long-term operational reliability.
Types of Rotary Basket Washers
8RB50 Rotary Basket Washer
The 8RB50 is a rotary basket parts washer model designed for high-volume manufacturers working with small parts. It is the ideal solution for parts that can fit into roughly 15” long, 9” wide, and 4” tall baskets. Baskets and fixtures can be customized to hold parts of all shapes and sizes. If you're unsure whether your parts will fit in our system, please reach out, and we can find a solution.
Automated Rotary Basket Washer
This 3-stage machine includes washing, rinsing, and drying processes. Ideal for cleaning fuel system components, electronic parts, stampings, machined components, and virtually any other items that fit within its 6” x 12” x 18” basket capacity.
HOW ROTARY BASKET PARTS WASHERS WORK
Rotary basket parts washers clean components by rotating baskets through one or more cleaning stages while spray nozzles, immersion systems, or ultrasonic technology remove oils, chips, grease, and contaminants from part surfaces.
Depending on the application, systems may include:
- Wash Stage – Heated aqueous spray or immersion cleaning removes contamination from part surfaces. Ultrasonics can be added for ultra-precision cleaning.
- Rinse Stage – Fresh or recirculated rinse systems remove residual chemistry and debris. Ultrasonics can be added for ultra-precision cleaning.
- Drying Stage – Blow-off or heated drying prepares parts for assembly, coating, inspection, or packaging.
- Filtration & Fluid Management – Integrated filtration systems help extend solution life and maintain cleaning consistency.
Rotary basket configurations expose multiple part surfaces throughout the cleaning cycle, making them effective for smaller components with detailed geometries or elevated cleanliness standards.
