Turbex releases compact aqueous parts washer

Aimed at entry-level users, a compact washing machine is being introduced by Turbex for the fast, efficient cleaning of industrial components. Employing aqueous technology for the cleaning process, the inexpensive Pura is a general purpose, single tank spray-wash system with construction and programming attributes that have been simplified to the essentials.

Pura is now the smallest in a range of six machines, half of which also have the capability to flood-wash components. All models incorporate a patented system whereby the basket holding the parts can be programmed to rotate in the same or opposite direction as the rotating spray nozzles. For some applications, the latter action increases the effectiveness of the washing, especially when processing complex components. Components are subsequently dried by a hot air impulse blower.

The machine is said to be both functional and simple to operate, the standard wash program being designed so that anyone can use it. The equipment supports uncomplicated handling and a kit including a 471 by 321 by 200 mm basket. A cleaning agent is supplied, making it easy to get started, while an optional oil separator and high-quality filtration ensure long and consistent service life.
