How the EM60 Aqueous Parts Washer Works
Aqueous parts cleaning combines water, detergent, and heat to break down and remove contaminants from mechanical parts.
The operator places the part on the EM60’s work surface and uses the washer’s cleaning system to remove accumulated grease, oil, dirt, and other soils. Heated cleaning solution helps improve the effectiveness of the cleaning process while the manual work area gives the operator direct control over how each part is cleaned.
This makes the EM60 a useful solution for applications where parts need to be thoroughly cleaned before inspection, repair, rebuilding, assembly, or return to service.
Water-Based Parts Cleaning Without Traditional Solvents
A major benefit of an aqueous parts washer is the ability to clean using water-based detergent chemistry rather than traditional solvent-based solutions.
Fountain Industries describes its aqueous parts washers as an earth-friendly cleaning option that uses heated water and detergents while minimizing harmful waste products. Aqueous cleaning can be particularly useful for automotive repair, manufacturing, maintenance, and applications where environmental or regulatory considerations are important.
The right cleaning chemistry will depend on the parts, contaminants, and requirements of your particular application. Fountain Industries can help determine the appropriate parts-washing configuration for your operation.
Why Use an Aqueous Parts Washer?
Aqueous parts washers offer several advantages for facilities looking to move away from traditional solvent-based cleaning.
Heated Water and Detergent
The combination of heated water and cleaning detergent provides powerful cleaning action against grease, oil, dirt, and other common industrial soils.
Effective Manual Cleaning
The EM60 gives operators direct access to the parts being cleaned, making it practical for components that require hands-on attention.
More Environmentally Conscious Cleaning
Water-based cleaning can reduce reliance on traditional solvents and associated waste products. Fountain Industries positions its EcoMaster line as an environmentally friendly alternative without sacrificing cleaning effectiveness.
Versatile Industrial Applications
Aqueous parts washers can be used across a wide range of industries, including automotive repair, manufacturing, maintenance, and industrial rebuilding.
