Which industrial parts washer to choose?
The choice depends on three things: the contaminant to remove (oil, chips, particles, salts), the shape and size of the part, and the takt time of your line. Before quoting, we run washing trials with your own parts to confirm the cleanliness level.
| Machine | Technology | Parts | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| MecanoFAST | Spray cabinet, one part at a time | Machined parts; integration in robot cells | From 30 s per cycle |
| Tunnel | Continuous-flow spray, multi-module | Mechanical parts in series production | High throughput, in line |
| MecanoJet | Basket spray washing, with rotation or oscillation | Medium and large parts, bulk or fixtured | 4 to 6 cycles per hour |
| MecanoJet Compact | Basket spray washing, with rotation or oscillation | Same process as the MecanoJet, for smaller loads | 4 to 6 cycles per hour |
| Maxima | Spray washing, front loading | Heavy, long or bulky parts | From 6 cycles per hour |
| ECO | Single-bath with turntable | Maintenance, workshops, heavy vehicles | From 6 cycles per hour |
| PowerJet | Ultrasonic immersion with CNp | Complex geometries, blind holes, technical cleanliness | 3 to 8 cycles per hour |
| Solvacs | Vacuum solvent (HEMO technology) | Difficult oils, parts that must come out dry, zero effluents | 3 to 8 cycles per hour |
Industrial parts cleaning to your specification
- Degreasing before assembly, welding, leak testing, painting, heat treatment or PVD coating.
- Technical cleanliness for particles to ISO 16232 and VDA 19, with lab analysis if your drawing requires it.
- Complete drying to prevent corrosion, stains and carry-over of residues to the next process.
- Installation, commissioning and maintenance anywhere in Mexico, from Querétaro.

Frequently asked questions
What is an industrial parts washer?
It is a machine that removes oils, chips, particles and other contaminants from metal parts after machining, stamping or casting, and before assembly, painting or heat treatment. It washes, rinses and dries in an automatic cycle, with water and detergent or with solvent.
Spray, ultrasonic or solvent: which one fits?
Spray washing, with pressurized detergent jets, covers most machined parts and high production rates. Ultrasonic immersion reaches complex geometries, blind holes and fine particles. Vacuum solvent is the choice for difficult oils and parts that must come out perfectly dry, with no wastewater.
Are the machines built in Mexico?
Yes. WashTech designs and builds its entire range of spray washers in Querétaro. The MecanoFAST is built in Mexico, France or India, and Solvacs is HEMO technology (Germany). Installation, commissioning and service are carried out by our team in Mexico.
Can I run trials with my own parts?
Yes. We run washing trials with your parts and, if your specification requires it, we can recommend laboratories for cleanliness analysis to ISO 16232 or VDA 19.
