Guyson Corporation's Orbit 1000 model rotary cleaning system with touchscreen controls, a 1,000-pound capacity turntable and powered opening and closing of the wash chamber cover. The upgraded parts washer has a 65" × 77" footprint and stands 55" tall with the lid closed. The gearmotor-driven turntable holds a 42" diameter stainless steel round wire mesh basket that has a convenient loading height of 31.4". The slowly rotating table loaded with components is surrounded on three sides by spray bars fitted with high-impact V-pattern jets to ensure strong impingement of the spray and effective flushing action to remove surface contaminants during the timed cleaning cycle. Rinsing and air knife blow-off cycles are provided.
High-quality stainless steel is used to fabricate the 132-gallon solution tank and the spray washing enclosure of the cleaning system in order to resist corrosion form potentially aggressive aqueous cleaning solutions. The tank, wash cabinet and double-skinned hood are heavily insulated to retain heat and reduce the energy demand of the system's 12-kW thermostatically controlled electric immersion heater.
