Wash Water Recycling

Wash Water Recycling can be added to any Wash System with the purpose of reducing machine down time, maintaining performance, keeping effluent disposal to a minimum and most importantly saving money.

Wash Water Recycling operates by recovering dirty water created by parts cleaning systems. The system draws dirty water from the wash tank and utilises the latent heat to evaporate and recover the water, leaving the concentrated contamination behind. The clean water free from contamination and residue is then returned to the tank for reuse. The contaminated waste represents typically less than 5% of the total water volume.

Features

  • Removal of oils from wash & rinse solutions
  • Compact system design
  • Maintains process quality
  • Continuous recovery and re use
  • Virtually eliminates waste disposal
  • Maintains production levels
  • Automated control
  • No filters or chemicals required
