8RB50 Rotary Basket Washer
The Arnold Machine 8RB50 Rotary Basket Immersion Washer is a versatile cleaning system designed for small parts with demanding cleanliness standards. This 3-stage machine includes washing, rinsing, and drying processes. Ideal for cleaning fuel system components, electrical parts, stampings, machined components, and virtually any other items that fit within its 6” x 12” x 18” basket capacity.
The machine presents a reliable design of over 40 years, featuring a four-over-four basket layout that allows for eight baskets to be loaded per cycle. Each cycle included a timed immersion and rotation within the wash basin, followed by a rinse cycle. Both processes are enhanced by high-pressure spray heads. Additionally, a freshwater rinse can be incorporated into the cleaning process. For the drying stage, a high-pressure heated blower is utilized, along with a timed cycle to ensure that the parts are thoroughly dried according to the requirements of each cycle.

How 8RB50 Rotary Basket Washers Work
8RB50 Rotary Basket Washers can wash 8 baskets of parts at a time, typically in a four-over-four configuration. A typical wash cycle is heated wash > heated rinse > heated dry.
For precision-clean applications, Arnold Machine can add an ultrasonic bath into the wash cycle. We can also configure your machine to have additional rinse cycles, including fresh water rinses.
The time of a wash cycle will vary based on the requirements of your application. A common wash cycle is 12-15 minutes–in this application, 8 baskets of parts are completely clean and dry in just 15 minutes.
