Manufacturers across industries are constantly seeking ways to improve quality while lowering operational expenses. One of the most effective, often overlooked upgrades is investing in a 3-stage automated parts washer system. These industrial parts washer solutions combine heated wash, heated rinse, and dry cycles into one efficient unit that delivers consistently clean, high-quality results with minimal manual intervention.
Arnold Machine’s 3-Stage Rotary Table Washers are engineered for demanding industrial environments. Built entirely in the U.S. using 304 stainless steel, they’re ideal for heavy components like engine blocks, pump housings, and gearboxes in both new manufacturing and remanufacturing operations.
Let’s explore how this equipment investment can significantly lower your total cost of ownership.
REDUCED REWORK AND SCRAP FROM RESIDUAL CONTAMINATION
Residual contamination from oil, chips, or detergent can compromise quality and create costly downstream issues. Manual washing or single-stage systems often fall short, especially with large, intricate components.
Arnold’s 3-stage washers solve this with a timed, high-pressure heated wash cycle followed by a heated rinse and forced-air dry. Each stage is programmable to meet specific part cleanliness standards. The result? Less rework, better part performance, and fewer process disruptions.
Advanced features like stainless steel bag filtration, oil coalescing systems, and automatic chemical monitoring ensure the cleaning media stays effective longer, further improving process reliability and cleanliness outcomes.
LABOR SAVINGS THROUGH AUTOMATION
Manual cleaning is labor-intensive, ergonomically risky, and inconsistent. A 3-stage rotary washer automates the process, freeing up skilled labor for higher-value tasks and reducing exposure to hazardous cleaning agents.
With 2,000 lb. load capacity and customizable fixtures, Arnold Machine’s rotary table washers can handle multiple parts or large single components per cycle. The operator-friendly design includes integrated fork pockets, intuitive touchscreen controls, and recipe management for different part types.
Combined with automation-ready controls and optional robotic loading, these systems reduce manual handling and streamline part flow across your operation. Understanding how to lower parts washing operating costs starts with reducing manual labor and streamlining every stage of the cleaning process.
LOWER CHEMICAL AND ENERGY USE WITH SMART FEATURES
Efficient chemical usage and energy savings are engineered into every Arnold Machine washer. Features like programmable wash cycles, tank insulation, and 30 kW electric heaters allow precise control over water temperature and usage. Automatic refill and level-sensing systems ensure optimal water chemistry with less waste.
Optional oil skimmers, mist collectors, and a 25-gallon coalescing oil removal system can be added to reduce contamination in both wash and rinse stages, extending solution life and minimizing disposal costs.
This efficiency not only reduces operating costs but supports your sustainability initiatives and compliance with wastewater and VOC regulations.
MINIMIZED MAINTENANCE COSTS AND DOWNTIME
Downtime is expensive. Arnold’s washers are designed for durability and maintainability. Structural elements feature 10-gauge stainless steel with reinforced tank design and a 10-year structural warranty. The internal layout allows quick access to chip baskets, spray nozzles, filters, and valves—reducing service time.
Filter change alerts and routine maintenance prompts via the touchscreen help your team stay ahead of wear without interrupting production. For added peace of mind, service plans and remote diagnostic access are available. Knowing how to lower operating costs for washing equipment means focusing on reliability, maintainability, and long-term component durability.
CONSISTENT CLEANING FOR LONG-TERM EFFICIENCY
Arnold Machine’s 3-stage rotary washers deliver the consistency needed for modern manufacturing. Whether cleaning parts for paint prep, assembly, or precision operations, the repeatable wash cycle and high-pressure spray coverage deliver uniform results every time.
With customizable cleaning “recipes” and cycle settings, operators can quickly switch between part types without compromising performance. This level of flexibility and control reduces variability and supports compliance with even the strictest cleanliness standards.
