Hot Water Cleaning Suspended Washer Extractor

Q1: What are the primary applications or industries for this specific type of washer-extractor?
A: This machine is engineered for heavy-duty industrial applications where hot water is critical for dissolving stubborn soils. Primary users include automotive and aerospace (for cleaning greasy engine parts, tools), food processing (for removing fats and proteins), manufacturing (for cutting oils and metal fines), and agriculture (for heavily soiled equipment).

Q2: What are the key advantages of using hot water cleaning compared to cold water in this machine?
A: Hot water (typically between 60°C and 80°C) significantly increases the effectiveness of detergents by melting fats, greases, and oils on contact. This leads to superior soil removal without the need for harsh chemicals, reduces wash cycle times, and can provide a natural sanitizing effect, resulting in a cleaner, more hygienic outcome.

Q3: How does the "suspended" design benefit the operation and performance?
A: The suspended design, where the cylinder is mounted on springs, is crucial for handling extremely unbalanced loads common in industrial settings. It effectively absorbs vibrations and shock during the high-speed extraction phase, allowing for smoother operation, reduced noise, and less stress on the building's structure compared to rigid-mounted machines.

Q4: What is the typical energy consumption for heating the water, and are there efficiency features?
A: Heating water is the primary energy cost. Our machines are designed with efficiency in mind, featuring insulated tanks to retain heat and options for heat recovery systems that capture thermal energy from drain water to pre-heat incoming fresh water, thereby significantly reducing energy consumption over time.

Q5: What construction materials are used to withstand both hot water and harsh industrial soils?
A: To ensure longevity, all surfaces in contact with water and chemicals are constructed from high-grade, corrosion-resistant stainless steel (AISI 304 or 316). Critical components like valves and seals are specifically selected for high-temperature resistance and durability against industrial chemicals.

Q6: What kind of maintenance is required for the hot water system and the suspension mechanism?
A: Regular maintenance includes inspecting the suspension springs and dampers for wear, checking and de-scaling the water heater and plumbing according to water hardness, and ensuring all seals remain intact. We provide detailed maintenance schedules and remote diagnostic support to proactively manage service needs and maximize uptime.
