Professional repair and dirt are incompatible concepts. Cleaning and washing of engine parts and other units is an important stage of repair work in any car service and at a service station. The quality of subsequent work largely depends on this operation. Special equipment will help to thoroughly clean the repaired parts from contamination. In the RusTechnika Group of Companies you can buy various sinks for units and parts. Our catalog contains equipment from well-known, trusted manufacturers.
RusTechnika Group of Companies has equipment for washing parts of small and large units
Washing the unit manually using gasoline, diesel fuel and a brush is a resource-intensive and labor-intensive process, it is not suitable for a car repair shop. You can get rid of dirt in modern effective ways. Automatic and semi-automatic equipment is used for quick and high-quality washing of components in car services and factory shops. Depending on the model, it may be:
- mobile (on wheels with a small tank);
- highly specialized for large industries (stationary automatic washing plants for the defense complex, aerospace industry, mechanical engineering, fuel and energy industry);
- universal (designed for different types of units and parts of trucks and cars).
Washing equipment must be selected taking into account the conditions in which it will work. Therefore, when choosing a suitable washing machine, it is advisable to take into account: the dimensions of the washing space, the dimensions and weight of the units to be washed; the number of nozzles and the principle of supplying the washing solution; the presence of additional options (oil separator, mechanical drive, baskets, etc.). For example, automatic carousel washers, which include various stages of processing (washing, rinsing, drying), are effective for cleaning products of complex shape.
A high-pressure apparatus can be used to knock off the primary dirt, in a specially designated area, but it is much easier to clean the parts in an automatic washing unit. Jet cleaning of parts in a high-pressure washing machine is the best option for removing all kinds of contaminants from cylinder blocks and other surfaces of engine and transmission parts (fat, oil, coolant, small chips, non-coked sand and dust deposits). Washing parts with movable nozzles (or with different angles) allows cleaning solutions to penetrate into hard-to-reach places. Washing of aggregates and engine parts in
Today, in the engineering and metalworking industries, where the technology requires washing of parts and assemblies, more and more new and advanced washing machines are used, which allow increasing quality and productivity, reducing energy costs and negative impact on the environment.
One of the brightest examples of manufacturers of such washing equipment is the Italian company TEKNOX. For over 40 years, this company has been producing a wide range of jet washers for washing parts and assemblies - from small-sized washers to complex conveyor complexes of a through-type multi-stage processing. The uniqueness of TEKNOX washing machines is that parts are washed in a closed continuous cycle. The washing process is carried out with a hot water washing solution under pressure. The solution, in the tank of the washing machine, is heated (up to 80 ° C) by electric heating elements and a hydrodynamic pump, through a filtration system, is supplied under pressure (up to 10 bar) through a plurality of nozzles to moving parts in the form of jets, after which, with washed off contaminants, it returns tank. Contaminated parts in washing machines are affected by three types: mechanical and physico-chemical. Under the mechanical impact is meant the impact of many jets of high-pressure solution, and under the physico-chemical - their temperature and reactivity.
Jet-type machines allow not only washing and degreasing parts from contamination with a cleaning solution, but also imparting certain properties to their surfaces (adhesive, anti-corrosion), using appropriate special solutions. To do this, leading manufacturers of the chemical industry offer a wide range of effective and safe concentrates for various materials and contaminants. All washing machines are designed in such a way that parts and assemblies are washed automatically. The operator only needs to set the program settings and start the machine. In the control unit of the machine, parameters such as the duration of washing, blowing, removing vapors, drying, the heating temperature of the solution, as well as automatic daily heating of the solution before the start of the work shift are programmed. The washers are made of non-magnetic AISI 304 stainless steel and are built with a margin of safety for guaranteed operation in harsh conditions. All machines comply with EU safety standards.

Applications
The fields of application of washing machines are very diverse. This can be washing and degreasing, finishing of parts, assemblies, assemblies before assembly or painting, processing after casting or machining. The machines are also used for degreasing, anti-corrosion treatment, pickling, phosphating, paint stripping, etc. The manufacturer divides the use of washing machines into two categories: in the maintenance and repair of machines and equipment (washing of parts that have been removed from machines, tools, engines and mechanisms, etc.) and in production (washing of new parts after mechanical: turning, drilling, milling, grinding, etc.).
Maintenance and repair of machinery and equipment
The parts removed from the machines for repair are mostly covered with various dirt: sand, oil and grease, rubber from gaskets, sealant residues and various putties. Washing of parts with such contaminants is best done in washing machines with a high pressure pump, if possible, and heating of the solution above 60 ° C, but without additional filter systems, since such a large amount of dirt will easily clog any fine filtration system.
Previously, solvents and derivatives based on petroleum were used for this, which dissolved fats, and then residual contamination was washed off the part with a washing gun. Mostly immersion type equipment was used, where the parts were immersed in a tank of solvent, then they were rinsed with water and manually wiped. After several washes, the liquid in the tank became dirty, and oil and dirt residues settled on the washed parts. And since toxic solvents were used, and there were no appropriate exhaust systems, the workrooms were saturated with harmful fumes. In order to give an idea of the damage this caused to the health of the personnel, we will provide some information on the toxicity of solvents.
Chlorine solvents are carcinogenic, and in the presence of open flames (lit cigarettes, burners) they decompose and turn into a nerve paralytic, deadly gas. Aromatic solvents - derivatives of oil - combustible, carcinogenic, toxic to the respiratory tract. Other solvents also cause irreparable harm to health. In Europe, the use of solvents is currently prohibited. They are only used in closed circuit degreasing equipment. In the coming years, bans will be introduced on the production of any type of chlorine solvents, as well as other solvents that affect the formation of the ozone hole and are dangerous when indoors. In some areas, such as space, military, etc., hazardous solvents are still used, guided by regulations approved many years ago. Meanwhile, solvent washing can not only be replaced by water-based washing, but also optimized by using jet equipment with two or three stages of washing and rinsing and a filtration system.
Modern washing systems with a rotating basket (platform) and an effective alkaline detergent, non-toxic and environmentally friendly, allow you to achieve excellent cleaning results for parts that are processed as part of a maintenance or repair operation.

Features of choosing the type of washing machine in the field of maintenance and repair of machinery and equipment
The model of the washing machine should be selected taking into account the maximum dimensions of the parts to be washed. As practice shows, the following models of washing machines are most popular:
- UNIX 60-80- for washing small parts in the process of repair and maintenance of automotive equipment (this installation is not suitable for washing engines and gearboxes in general);
- UNIX 100-120- for washing parts of cars and small vans (car engines with a maximum of 6 cylinders);
- ROBUR 1400- for washing any parts of engines and gearboxes of passenger-and-freight vehicles;
- ROBUR 1800- used for washing the largest engines, engines for military vehicles, mining machines, etc.
Models of washers with two baths are usually used for more thorough washing, the results of which are more stringent. For example, for washing parts of aircraft, helicopters, when grinding engines, when rinsing not only achieves a more aesthetic appearance of the treated parts, but also removes from their surface those contaminants that could have formed after previous washing operations.
Manufacture of machinery and equipment
In the industrial production of machinery and equipment, great attention is paid to the cleanliness of new parts before assembly or packaging. Since the quality of product operation is largely dependent on the results of washing, the requirements for washing machines are quite different from those in the field of service and repair. Here you have to deal with the most difficult problems to solve and with a huge variety of machine types. In addition, in the industrial sector, such an extremely important requirement as quality is put forward.
The fact is that in this sector it is now required not only to degrease parts, but also to wash off various solid particles remaining after machining (chips, abrasive materials, etc.). Moreover, these particles have to be removed both from the outer walls and from blind holes, threaded holes, from all kinds of passages, water and oil distribution channels, the presence of which many mechanical parts are distinguished by. It is enough, for example, to look at engines and other automotive components, which have many blind holes and pipelines for water cooling or lubrication systems. Based on these few examples already, it is not difficult to understand that immersion washing is no longer sufficient, even if used in combination with ultrasonic treatment or moving the basket, since solid residues from the treatment will still be present in suspension in the washing bath, which will inevitably settle again on an already washed part.
Washing machines with a rotating basket allow you to achieve the required washing quality. The principle of immersion is excluded here, and the chips do not settle on the washed parts. In addition, this equipment is equipped with a bag filter, which is used when fine metal particles cannot be captured by a conventional mesh filter.
Simple parts (sheet or stamped) do not pose any problem for successful flushing, since it is only a question of degreasing the surface. The only thing is to arrange the parts in such a way as to avoid the “glass effect”, that is, they should be installed so that the liquid after washing does not stagnate inside the part, but flows freely. In addition, in order to avoid areas of blackout, the parts should not block each other from water jets. The choice of a washer for complex parts, such as cast iron and aluminum alloys, parts with holes, and parts that have been machined, must be more careful.
Features of choosing the type of washing machine in the field of manufacturing machinery and equipment
For many simple parts of a simple shape with a small number of through holes, as well as for small batches of various parts, standard washing machines with a rotating basket (platform) are used.
For more complex parts, in some cases it is possible to use modified models of washers that are adapted to perform washing in positions or calibration options.
Wash circuits in special configurations
And only in those cases when particularly high and stringent requirements are imposed on the quality of washing parts and assemblies, You MUST use the above mentioned special washers that include calibration and positioning. In this case, the machines must be specially designed taking into account both the type of parts (their features, structure and configuration) and the type of technological cycle (number of phases, baths, pressure, filtration method, etc.). For such specific cases, in the serial production of the same or similar parts, you can focus on equipment like:
- ROBOJET – for washing large parts and parts with a large number of blind holes (gearboxes, differentials, gear housings, components of hydraulic systems, etc.).
- ROBOCLEAN – small-sized washing machine for a small area for washing critical parts of small sizes.
Washing machine for parts and assemblies, assemblies, washing of complex assemblies.
- ROUNDJET – for washing small parts (installation with a single loading and unloading area).
- TUNNEL – for cleaning small to medium-sized parts, mass-produced parts with a large number of blind holes and threaded holes (components of automotive engines made of aluminum, pump parts, etc.).
- ROTOR – for washing delicate small and small parts made of aluminium, brass, bronze, steel with external threads or threaded holes.
- LINEARJET - for washing long products (axles, cardan and crankshafts, beds, etc.) of various weight characteristics.
There are models of washing machines with two or more baths (tanks). The need for these machines arises in the following cases:
- it is required to wash parts made of aluminum or copper alloys, brass, bronze, etc., and at the same time it is necessary that the parts come out shiny, without stains. In this case, after washing, rinsing with demineralized water is necessary;
- when parts are made of cast iron or steel and corrosion protection is required for at least 30-60 days. To do this, an appropriate agent is added to the second rinsing bath to prevent or slow down oxidation (corrosion). Protective products come in different types: oil-based, which provide protection for 30-60 days, and dry protective products, which protect for a maximum of 30 days.
Recently, detergents have appeared on the market that simultaneously degrease the surface of parts and provide its protection against corrosion, that is, the washing cycle is reduced and reduced to treatment in only one bath. This makes it possible to simplify the installation of the washing plant and reduce the cost of processing parts.
There are models of washing machines that provide the phosphating process. Technological processes of phosphating can be carried out in different ways, but in our installations only jet methods of processing parts are used, and not submersible. Phosphating is applied to metal surfaces before painting to ensure good and longer adhesion of the paint to the surface. The washing machines in question use the principle of spraying acid-based phosphating agents mixed with water. The practice of their application is much more economical than the use of solvents, moreover, they are much less dangerous, and at the same time able to provide quite equivalent results. The only problem to be reckoned with in this case is that there must be more than one, two or three baths (and even more), and the chemical composition of each of them must be monitored almost daily.
The result is a better adhesion of paint coatings. One more advantage of the proposed technological processes should be noted: it is possible to reduce toxicological problems in the working room to zero.
You can talk endlessly about the advantages of TEKNOX washing machines. But perhaps the best confirmation of their quality is the names of consumers - for several decades, the company's products have been supplied to world-famous engineering enterprises such as BREMBO, LAMBORDINI, Same Deutz Fahr Group Italia Spa, Same Deutz Fahr Group Italia Spa, Bonfiglioli Riduttori Spa , Ilva Spa, Oto Melara Spa, Rietschle Thomas Italia Spa
Probably every Russian motorist at least once in his life saw a carburetor washed in kerosene; Or maybe he's done it himself more than once. Fortunately, times are changing and technology is changing...
Today, there are practically no carburetor cars left; and most people prefer to repair them not in the garage "at Uncle Vasya or Ashot", but in a modern car service equipped with the latest technology. After all, the more modern and expensive the car, the higher the requirements for its repair, including the elements and assemblies used.
During work related to the repair of a car engine, a lot of time and effort is spent on cleaning it from oil residues and other operational contaminants. Unfortunately, this absolutely does not take into account the harm caused to health; when a mechanic inhales harmful vapors of cleaning solutions and liquids.
The most optimal way out of this situation is an automatic installation for washing parts of a closed cycle MAGIDO (made in Italy).
Washing in a car workshop allows you to significantly speed up the process of washing components; facilitates the work of a mechanic, freeing his hands from a routine and painstaking process; and in general, makes the work of car service employees cleaner and more environmentally friendly.
In addition, any similar MAGIDO parts washer is made of high quality stainless steel. This allows you to avoid corrosion and operate it for a long time without any problems.
The principle of operation of the machine for washing parts is very similar to the operation of a dishwasher. The main difference is that the basket in which the components are placed rotates and the cleaning solution can be reused.
The principle of operation of the MAGIDO parts washer
1. First you need to place dirty parts or assemblies in the washing chamber. Although additional supports are installed in MAGIDO machines to prevent distortions, it is still desirable to distribute them evenly throughout the basket.
3. Inside this machine, there is a U-shaped frame, in which stainless steel nozzles are embedded. This is done so that the resulting scale does not clog the nozzles. Through them, under pressure from 2.3 to 4.7 bar, a washing solution is supplied.
The pressure depends on the model of the device; in addition, by individual order it can be increased. In a number of models, to increase productivity, two pumps are used (for example, in MAGIDO L102 and L122 stands).
The position of the nozzles is adjusted so that the washing solution, falling under pressure on parts or assemblies, rotates the basket of the device.
4. Some models of parts washing machines are equipped with a built-in gear motor that rotates the basket at a certain frequency. As a rule, these are models designed for a maximum load - from 350 kg.
In principle, any cleaning device and aggregates (except for the ECO series) can be equipped with a gearmotor; but this option is installed directly at the factory in Italy.
5. At the end of the work cycle, the timer turns off and the machine can be opened. In this case, care must be taken, because. the washing solution is heated to a temperature of 70 ° C, and there is a danger of getting burned by the steam. To avoid this, the MAGIDO parts washer has one additional option - hot vapor extraction.
At the end of the cleaning process, it is recommended to leave the clean components in the machine for a few minutes with the lid open. This will allow them to dry out almost completely. during the process, the devices become very hot and, as a result, dry out quickly when cooled. However, moisture may remain in the recesses of the elements.
The process of washing the elements occurs in a closed cycle: the liquid from the nozzles first cleans, then flows into the tank; then through a filter that traps large particles, it is again fed into the nozzles. Those. there is no need to change the cleaning solution after each cleaning cycle.
Washing for parts and assemblies MAGIDO and all its models are equipped with a function to control the level of the cleaning solution. This avoids damage to the heating elements.
It must be remembered that it is not recommended to place parts in the system basket that are smaller than the basket cell itself. For washing small elements, a basket with a fine mesh is provided in the kit (for all, except for the ECO series).
The average delivery time for this machine (if not in stock) is 45-60 business days. Equipment for washing parts is supplied only on request. The delivery time for such devices is about 90 business days.
How often should the cleaning solution be changed?
This is a subjective parameter. As soon as it becomes clear that the elements are poorly washed, and an oil film remains on them; the cleaning solution should be changed. It all depends on how dirty parts are washed in the parts washer. For example, you can wash slightly contaminated elements, or you can clean parts that were in military conservation.
What fluid should be used to flush parts?
It is strictly forbidden to use any combustible materials and foaming solutions. Included with the device is a small amount of washing powder concentrate, which is enough for the first refueling. We recommend using Russian analogues in the future, for example, Labomid.
How to choose the right element washer?
1. First you need to determine the maximum dimensions of the units intended for washing. They must not exceed the diameter of the basket and the maximum loading height of the device.
2. In addition, you should know the maximum total weight of the basket load. Exceeding the load weight can lead to damage to the entire apparatus.
Some large industrial models can be equipped with gas or diesel heating.
What options are used on MAGIDO?
To begin with, it is worth noting that all options are installed only at the manufacturing factory in Italy. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary at the stage of placing an order to determine the list of all necessary additional options.
Oil separator. The principle of its operation is as follows: a thin metal disk slowly rotates over the surface of the cleaning solution and an oil film adheres to it. Then the disk passes through two blades that clean off the oil film from it.
Basket electric drive. Spins the basket at a certain frequency. In some units it is included as standard. Recommended for washing heavy components.
Outer insulation of the body of the apparatus. Protects the mechanic from accidental burns when in contact with the body of the device and reduces heat transfer during the heating of the cleaning solution. Since 2013, MAGIDO has started production of the models: L160 , L190 and L210 with case insulation already installed.
Vapor extraction device. A fan built into the back of the device allows you to remove vapors from the device outside.
Minimum water level control and automatic water filling. This option requires a permanent connection to the water supply.
Nozzle frame and stainless steel basket. Serve to extend the life of the device.
Hour counter. Allows you to calculate the running time.
Weekly programming. Allows you to turn on the heating of the cleaning solution before the start of the working day and thereby save working time.
Hot drying. Forced drying of clean elements. Electric heating 3 kW.
Carriage for moving the basket. Trolley for removing / installing the basket in the device. Not used for all models. Standard on units: L160, L190 and L210.
Increase in maximum load up to 1500kg. Models only: L160, L190 and L210.
Alternative use of sinks for parts and assemblies MAGIDO
A washing machine for washing parts can be useful not only in car services. This device is actively used in railway depots in Germany and France. In Russia, the demand for MAGIDO products is also growing every year. These devices are used in metallurgy, jewelry and medicine. Large devices are also used in the repair of quarry equipment.
MAGIDO MANUFACTURES ANY INDUSTRIAL DEVICES on special orders. It can be a conveyor for washing small bolts or a line of several tens of meters for washing non-standard components. All that is needed for a special order is to provide the terms of reference to the factory, so that Italian engineers will make a project and calculate the cost and production time.
