X30 Sink-on-Drum Parts Washer

The X30 is a manual parts washer designed for efficient, hands-on cleaning of components and parts. Its sink-on-drum design provides a compact cleaning station while utilizing a 30-gallon drum for cleaning solution.

Built from durable 16-gauge 304 stainless steel, the X30 is designed for demanding work environments. Its 75-pound weight capacity provides a sturdy work surface for cleaning a wide range of parts.

The X30 is available in configurations for both solvent and aqueous parts cleaning, giving users flexibility as cleaning requirements change.

Features of the X30 Parts Washer

  • Durable 304 stainless steel construction
  • 30-gallon drum capacity

The X30 can be configured for aqueous cleaning with an optional modular heating system. Heating options include adjustable temperatures from 50°F to 125°F, depending on the configuration.

Important: Heating must never be used with solvent.

Flexible Solvent or Aqueous Parts Cleaning

One of the key advantages of the X30 is its flexible configuration. The base machine can be used for solvent or aqueous cleaning without heating, while an optional modular heating system can be added for aqueous applications.

That modular approach allows the X30 to adapt to changing parts-cleaning requirements without requiring an entirely different machine.

Solvent Parts Washing

For applications requiring traditional solvent-based cleaning, the X30 provides a practical manual parts-washing station with a flow-through brush and flexible wash spigot.

Solvent parts washers are particularly effective for removing grease, carbon buildup, oil, and other petroleum-based soils.

Aqueous Parts Washing

For water-based cleaning applications, the X30 can be equipped with an optional drop-in heating module. Heated aqueous cleaning combines water and detergents to provide effective parts cleaning without traditional solvent chemistry.

Built for Demanding Work Environments

The X30 is designed and manufactured by Fountain Industries, an American manufacturer of industrial parts-cleaning equipment.

From automotive repair and maintenance to manufacturing and industrial operations, the X30 provides a compact, flexible solution when parts need to be cleaned efficiently and consistently.

Fountain Industries has manufactured parts washers in Minnesota for more than 50 years, with products designed, fabricated, assembled, and tested in the USA.
