Spray washing of components and machine parts places high demands on both precision and flexibility.
Viverk has developed a customized solution that combines multiple cleaning stages within a single wash chamber, creating new opportunities for machine manufacturers and maintenance departments to handle varying types of workpieces with high cleanliness requirements.
Robust and customized chamber washer
The core idea behind the new solution is to further develop Viverk’s already robust chamber washers, which are traditionally used to spray-clean parts in a closed wash chamber. In this customized configuration, the washer is designed to handle up to four different cleaning stages within the same enclosure, making the process more efficient and adaptable to different types of components and sizes, including workpieces up to 2.5 meters.
Four stages for complete cleaning
The machine is designed as a front-loaded washer with double doors, allowing loading and unloading from two sides. Inside the chamber of the industrial spray washer, the wash cycles are carried out via a centrally positioned lance system and rotating spray manifolds with adjustable nozzles that surround the workpiece to ensure full spray coverage from all directions – including from below. Cleaning is performed in four stages using separate fluids, with each stage followed by draining and air blow-off before the next stage begins.
Smart functionality and service-friendly design
The design has been developed with practical service and operational aspects in focus. The machine is installed recessed in a cast pit so that the load carrier is positioned at floor level, while pumps and filters are easily accessible on top of the tank extensions. A working platform above the washing system provides easy access to doors, systems, and inspection points during service.
Filtration and fluid control
To maintain cleanliness over extended operating periods, the system is equipped with multiple filtration solutions. Three bag filters and one cartridge filter help capture contaminants that pass through the strainer baskets, keeping both the wash fluid and rinse water cleaner for longer periods. In the final rinse stage, a full-flow cartridge filter is used to separate very fine particles.
At the beginning of the process, an oil separator is also installed to capture and collect oil residues from the wash fluid. It operates independently and can continuously clean the fluid, enhancing both cleaning quality and operational efficiency.
Digital monitoring and alarm functions
The system is also prepared for modern operational monitoring, with conductivity and pH sensors that both trigger alarms when the fluid becomes contaminated and provide the operator with real-time status via the control panel. This enables better control of the washing process and improves planning of service intervals.
