A company specializing in the reconditioning of transmissions turned to MecanoLav to design a washing tunnel for heavily soiled drive shafts.
The objectives were to ensure a production rate of 320 baskets in 8 hours and to process up to 450 kg of fat per day.
The tunnel operates in four stages: pre-wash, wash, rinse, and dry.
The chain conveyor with adjustable speed adjusts the processing time. Hot-air knife drying allows the parts to be sent directly to the shot blasting process.
The output reaches 320 baskets in 8 hours in a continuous process.
High-pressure washing, using pumps with a flow rate of 1,500 L/min at 7 bar, removes heavy grease.
Three 2,500-liter tanks ensure a gradual cleaning process, while three degreasers remove heavy grease deposits.
