Industrial Washing Systems

FILCO offers three distinct product lines:

• “CW” Continuous Industrial Washers
• “AW” Agitation Dip Tanks
• “CPW” Wash Stations

The FILCO “CW” continuous washing system has been specifically engineered to give you years of dependable service. This line of washers is built using either mild or stainless steel construction depending on your requirements and is double welded to ensure structural integrity. These washers are built to meet the most demanding requirements and are available with either belt conveyor or for overhead conveyor systems.

• Piping is either schedule 40 black pipe or schedule 80 CPVC
• Risers and nozzles are schedule 80 CPVC and designed for quick removal and easy maintenance.
• The “CW” washers are equipped with vertical cantilever top pull out pumps which allow for easy maintenance.
• Double stainless steel filter screens are a standard feature on all washers.
• Oil skimmer for heavy contaminated parts is available as an option.
• In most applications the heating of the tank can significantly improve the effectiveness of the cleaning process. Our “CW” system offers this through energy efficient gas burners and small bore heat exchanger. Electrically heated units are also available.
• Units are available in 2, 3, 5 or 7 stage configurations.
• The “CW” washing systems heating units, burners, gas train and controls meet CGA, CSA, UL, NFPA and OSHA standards.

The FILCO “AW” dip tank washing system has been designed to improve cleaning efficiency in a dip system. This is achieved by taking advantage of the tank cleaning chemicals and moving them in and around the part being cleaned. This is accomplished by utilizing a pumping system with eductors.

In most applications the heating of the tank can significantly improve the effectiveness of the cleaning process. The “AW” system offers this option through energy efficient gas burners and a small bore heat exchangeer.

Electrically heated units are also available. The elements are encased in a stainless steel tube and are installed with a quick disconnect for easy removal.

• Double stainless steel filter screens are a standard feature on all units.
• Oil skimmer for heavy contaminated parts is available as an option.
• Tanks are constructed with either mild steel or stainless steel and are double welded to ensure a long and durable life.
• The heating units, burner, gas train and controls meet CGA, CSA, UL, NFPA and OSHA standards.

The “CPW” wash station is a manual stand alone wash system, which allows a single operator to move parts onto a steel grating that is enclosed. The operator is equiped with a high pressure spray wand which operates at 1000 to 1500 p.s.i. This allows the operator to remove any oil or contaminants on the parts while using a mild phosphate solution.

• Adding an optional heating system to this unit will increase the overall effectiveness of your cleaning solution while decreasing the drying time of the part being cleaned.

The spray solution is collected in the sump tank. Due to the ON/OFF cleaning cycle, the heavy contaminants have time to seperate and sink due to the seperating plates within this tank. Once the sump tank is full, a high water limit switch will activate the transfer pump. Prior to the solution entering the transfer pump it goes through a secondary filtration process to remove any additional contaminants to protct the transfer pump.

The solution is pumped into the main phosphate/cleaning tank ready to be used again. A fresh water make-up is provided using a solenoid valve which is activated by a low water limit switch.

• A low water limit controller is used on all heated units to protect the heating elements.
