Spray washers
Useful for conveyorized parts with surfaces the spray pattern can reach. Nozzle layout, pressure, chemistry, and dwell time must match the soils and part geometry.
Surface finishing / Industrial washers
A lasting finish starts with preparation.
Remove process soils and prepare the surface before the coating is applied.
Discuss your finishing line
IMH FIELD PHOTOGRAPHY / MATERIAL HANDLING & INSTALLATION01 / APPLICATION
Why washing and pretreatment matter
Oil, coolant, shop dirt, and other contamination can interrupt coating adhesion. A washer provides a controlled cleaning and rinsing sequence; a compatible conversion pretreatment can also improve the performance of the complete coating system.
02 / PROCESS & EQUIPMENT
Choose the process around the part.
Immersion systems
Useful when tank processing better fits the geometry or treatment sequence. Check air pockets, drainage, solution carryover, and access to internal passages.
A defined stage sequence
Cleaning, rinsing, conversion treatment, and final water quality follow the substrate and finish requirement. There is no universal stage count.
03 / DESIGN INPUTS
Define the line before selecting equipment.
Define the metal types, incoming soils, corrosion requirement, part drainage, production rate, water quality, and space. Include chemical management, bath heating, filtration, exhaust, and wastewater handling in equipment planning.
What needs closer review
A standard cleaning washer is not a substitute for removing heavy rust, mill scale, or existing coatings. Blasting, stripping, or another preparation step may be required. Mixed metals need chemistry selected for all substrates in the load.
A COORDINATED PROJECT
Connect the process to production.
Talk with IMH about your parts, finish requirements, equipment interfaces, conveyor route, support structure, and installation scope.
