WASHING MACHINE
WASH EQUIPMENT PRODUCT INFORMATION
The wash and pickling systems are flexible and can be used as part of an
in-line parts washer and/or
pickling system. Smooth tumbling action maneuvers parts to expose all edges and surfaces as they are sprayed
and immersed in the cleaning and rinsing solutions. Dryer stations can be added as required. All stainless
steel construction is used for the tank, drum, and drum housing to ensure many years of reliable
service.
SAE can supply cleaning and pickling equipment to meet all of your munition applications. SAE uses the
latest state-of-the-art in cleaning and pickling equipment and can work with you to develop the proper
solution for your production needs.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
The Rotary Drum Washing System continuously feeds parts through a rotating drum. As the parts are advanced
through the drum, they pass into cleaning, rinsing, rust inhibiting and drying sections. This design enables
a large quantity of parts to be economically processed.
The parts are gently tumbled in the aqueous solution, providing a very effective method of exposing all
edges, surfaces, and blind holes to the immersion, high pressure spray, and high solution delivery cleaning
action.
The engineered drum, spray system and recirculating dryer eliminate waste and non-value-added time from your
manufacturing process while improving product quality and reducing energy and floor space
requirements.
Proper weld construction of the drum and helix, as well as proper helix spacing, vertically positioned
headers, and a dryer design that does not use a snorkel tube will eliminate potential for part mixing due to
lodging, bridging, and part hang up.

PICKLING MACHINE

Pickling Machine
PICKLING MACHINE PRODUCT INFORMATION
Similar in function and appearance to the Washing Machine, the Pickling Machine is used as an in-line parts pickling system. Smooth tumbling action maneuvers parts to expose all edges and surfaces as they are sprayed and immersed in the pickling solution. Dryer stations can be added as required. All stainless steel construction is used for the tank, drum, and drum housing to ensure many years of reliable service. Compared with the Washing Machine, the Pickling Machine is upgraded to SAE 316 Stainless Steel.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
The Rotary Drum Pickling System continuously feeds parts through a rotating drum. As the parts are advanced
through the drum, they pass into pickling, rinsing and drying sections. This design enables a large quantity
of parts to be economically processed.
The parts are gently tumbled in the acidic pickling solution, providing a very effective method of exposing
all edges, surfaces, and blind holes to the immersion, high pressure spray, and high solution delivery
pickling action.
The engineered drum, spray system and recirculating dryer eliminate waste and non-value-added time from your
manufacturing process while improving product quality and reducing energy and floor space requirements.
Proper weld construction of the drum and helix, as well as proper helix spacing, vertically positioned
headers, and a dryer design that does not use a snorkel tube will eliminate potential for part mixing due to
