Finally talked the guy at one of the machine shops I use to sell me his old parts washer. Got it for a nice price, and loaded it in the back of the truck for a 30 mile ride. I am totally, totally psyched about this guy. After cleaning five transmission cases last month, and tearing down three engines, this will save LOADS of time and save people money. I can just toss these parts inside and the 'basket' rotates them slowly, and blasts them with a multitude of high pressure jets. Load it up with hot soapy water and disgusting parts magically turn clean. I needs a little bit of TLC and tidying up, so the inaugural run won't happen until next week. Local guys are welcome to stop by and use it, just cover the electrical and waste disposal cost. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Attached image(s)

you will love it!!! I did the same move a few years ago. I found an old machine cabinet but it needed everything. it was well worth teh effort. I use Pro-chem powder soap. you will have to make a compromise if you want to run AL, MAG and steel parts due to chemistry, corrosion and what not. you can get more aggressive so it will even wash teh paint off of engine tins but you must then be quick with your AL parts. get an oil skimmer
Jake: what soap do you use? |
