The ADF model 550 Series glove box washer is a high-pressure parts washer. The operator puts the parts in the washer through the side door and washes them by manipulating the part and the wand with his/her hand through the gloves. The washer is activated with a foot switch. High pressure spray can be put into ports, cavities or directly at the part for high-pressure cleaning. With the ability to put the nozzle directly at the part, the full 3 gpm at 500 psi force can be pinpointed to a small area on the part. Biodegradable detergents and hot water are the cleaning solution used, which provide a safe and environmentally friendly solution.
ADF detergents include rust inhibitor for steel parts and are safe on other materials such as brass, aluminum, stainless steel, copper, rubber, plastic or glass. The wash solution passes through a 100-micron felt filter before returning to the reservoir and also passes through a high-pressure filter between the pump and the nozzle. Therefore, dirt, chips and other contaminants are removed from the solution during every cycle. This washer is useful in a variety of applications, including tool rooms, maintenance operations, low production and precision cleaning.
