Front Load Swing Out

Alkota industrial parts washers use heated aqueous solution to degrease engine components, machine parts, and manufactured goods — without the environmental and worker-safety liabilities of solvent systems. Top-load units handle parts up to 48 inches wide. Cabinet units with turntable spray handle batches up to 400 gallons. Every tank is fabricated from heavy-gauge steel with insulated jackets and immersion heaters rated for continuous duty. Choose the configuration that fits your shop below.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an industrial parts washer?

An industrial parts washer is a heated tank system that cleans grease, metal chips, oil, and machining residue off manufactured or refurbished parts. Most modern systems use aqueous (water-based) detergent rather than solvent, which eliminates the flammable storage and HAZMAT handling requirements of older solvent parts washers.

What's the difference between a solvent and aqueous parts washer?

Solvent parts washers use petroleum-based cleaners like mineral spirits and require HAZMAT storage, fire suppression, and regulated disposal. Aqueous parts washers use heated water plus a non-hazardous detergent. Aqueous is slower per part but eliminates fire, VOC, and disposal liabilities. Most shops built after 2005 run aqueous.

What size parts washer do I need?

Size by the largest part you’ll clean, not average. Top-load units with 30–48 inch tanks handle most engine and transmission work. Cabinet units with turntables are sized by part weight and batch volume — typical ranges are 500 to 4,000 pound load capacity. Oversizing by 20% leaves headroom for bigger future jobs.

How hot does an aqueous parts washer run?

Most industrial aqueous parts washers operate between 140°F and 180°F. Higher temperatures clean faster but increase energy cost and evaporation loss. 160°F is the industry sweet spot for general degreasing. Alkota units include digital temperature controllers that hold within ±2°F of setpoint.

How long does parts washer detergent last?

Aqueous detergent life depends on soil load, not time. Most shops running 3–5 batches per day change solution every 2–4 weeks. Skimmer and filter systems extend bath life 2–3x by removing oil and particulate. Alkota can spec oil skimmers and bag filtration as factory options.
