  • Continuous and Automated Cleaning Process. The continuous conveyor belt system automates the cleaning process, minimizing manual labor and improving production throughput. Conveyor belt parts washers also easily integrate with automatic feed conveyors and pick and place robotics.
  • Improved Efficiency and Throughput. Compared to batch cleaning methods, conveyor belt washers offer significantly faster cleaning times and increased production capacity. By minimizing idle time and streamlining the cleaning process, conveyor belt washers directly contribute to lean manufacturing principles. This continuous processing nature eliminates the need for batching and storage, promoting a smoother flow of materials throughout the production line.
  • Reduced Labor Costs and Improved Workflow. Automation reduces the need for manual cleaning and can be incorporated at the load and unload ends for a truly operator-free process.

The Conveyor Belt Journey: A Step-by-Step Look

Conveyor belt parts washers operate with a meticulous, multi-stage process designed to deliver consistent and thorough cleaning. Let’s delve into the steps involved in this efficient cleaning journey:
  1. Boarding the Cleaning Line. Parts are loaded onto the infeed section of the conveyor belt. Depending on the model and part size, this loading can be done manually from a belt to a system to a feeder, or through an automated robotic system, ensuring a smooth and efficient entry point.
  2. Selecting the Right Cleaning Agent. Just like choosing the right ingredients for a recipe, the appropriate cleaning solution and wash cycle parameters are carefully chosen based on the specific parts and the level of cleaning required. This selection process considers factors like conveyor speed and spray pressure, ensuring a customized cleaning experience for each batch of parts.
  3. A Multi-Stage Approach. The conveyor belt then transports parts through a series of meticulously designed cleaning stages (which can include a variety of stages):
    • Spraying. Powerful jets of cleaning solution, strategically positioned throughout the wash zone, act like a power wash, effectively removing loosened contaminants from all surfaces of the parts.
    • Rinsing. Multiple rinse stages (not all conveyors have immersion or multiple rinse zones, but they can be custom-outfitted with them), similar to rinsing dishes after washing, utilize clean water to remove any residual cleaning solution and ensure a sparkling clean and contaminant-free finish.
    • Next Steps. Depending on the specific cleaning requirements, parts may embark on additional stages like ultrasonic cleaning, which acts like a microscopic scrub brush to remove stubborn particles, or hot air drying, which functions like a quick-drying towel, speeding up the process.
  4. Reaching the Destination. Once the cleaning cycle is complete, parts exit the conveyor belt and are unloaded, either manually, through an automated conveyor system, or via a robot.
