Coniex has several models of industrial washing machines for the cleaning and degreasing of metal parts from stamping, machining, drilling, or any other process that requires lubrication. Our washing machines and washing equipment (manual, semi-automatic or fully automated) are a guarantee to solve the washing and degreasing of parts at the lowest cost.
The washing and degreasing process of metal parts and surfaces is essential to ensure business productivity, since any impurity or contamination present on the parts can jeopardize the final result of the production process being carried out.
Removing all grease residues involves the destruction of each oil molecule, which can be translated into the elimination of light oil accumulations, or the cleaning of grease accumulations that are deposited on the various components.
It is common for parts washing and degreasing to be carried out prior to other surface treatment processes such as pickling, passivation and polishing, as it provides a uniformly prepared surface for these subsequent treatments. As mentioned above, incorrect or insufficient degreasing could potentially create corrosion problems in any of these downstream processes.
The type of degreasing and washing to be carried out varies according to numerous factors, which will condition the choice of technologies and processes to be used. To achieve the desired result, it is necessary to know the basic elements involved in the fat removal process.
The analysis of these factors will help us to determine which type of parts washer is most suitable in each case. To maximize the effectiveness of the washing and degreasing process, the best washing machine must be chosen, and the most effective degreasing solvent must be used.
Whatever the type of industrial washing machine chosen, we offer a comprehensive service that combines the installation of the machinery, the supply of solvents, maintenance and spare parts, waste management and compliance with legal documentation.
Solvent washers allow the complete removal of all types of contaminants from a wide variety of parts, both metallic and non-metallic.
We have standard washing machines for parts with a simple morphology, as well as washing machines with chlorinated solvents, aliphatic hydrocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, bromides and HFE, which are used when the parts have a more complex geometry: holes, cavities, threads, etc.
Our wide range of solvent washers allows the washing of parts of very different sizes, and can operate in manual mode, or in continuous / automatic mode for companies with a high production capacity. More information
The rotary drum and auger washers are ideal for continuous washing of small to medium-sized parts.
These parts washers operate in continuous operation by spraying and immersion and use water-based detergents at a maximum temperature of 70°C. In rotary drum and auger washers, parts are loaded continuously and in bulk into a auger drum. The loading of the parts can be carried out by an operator, by means of a loader or directly by the machine tool.
Depending on the contaminant contained in the parts and the type of metal to be washed, the machine can be equipped with different stages. More information
Washing and degreasing tunnels are ideal machines for cleaning medium to large metal parts. These machines operate continuously and are specially designed for in-line production processes with parts loading from the front and unloading from the rear.
The operation is based on a tunnel with a conveyor device, which can be a conveyor belt or an overhead conveyor. This conveyor device moves the parts at a variable speed through the different process stages of the machine.
Degreasing tunnels are very flexible machines that allow the incorporation of different surface treatments, including degreasing, rinsing, passivation, blowing and drying.
A full spectrum of optional elements allows for a high degree of customization and tailoring of this technology to the specific needs of each customer. More information
Rotary table washers are a technology for the batch washing and degreasing of metal parts. They include different processes, among which are calibration or precision washing, blowing and a hot air drying phase.
The parts are transported by means of a rotary table, which can be designed according to the characteristics of the parts and the number of parts to be washed. The speed of the rotary table is adjustable and stops can be carried out when it is necessary to perform a precision wash for more complex parts.
The parts are loaded and unloaded at the front of the washer either manually or by a robot. The parts can be placed directly on the platform if a continuous wash is to be performed, or they can be placed on supports or anchors if a calibrated wash is required due to their complexity.

They are flexible washers, especially efficient for cleaning and degreasing parts with complex geometry, or parts containing blind holes and cavities.
This equipment combines immersion and spraying of the parts, using water-based detergents at a maximum temperature of 70°C.
These parts washers carry out the cleaning process by combining a spraying and an immersion phase. These two processes can be carried out separately or simultaneously. Subsequently, a third rinsing phase is carried out by spraying. More information
Ultrasonic washers are designed to carry out different processes, such as cleaning, descaling and pickling of all types of metal parts, components and accessories. All washing is performed by immersion and ultrasound with water-based detergents.
These machines carry out the total immersion of the parts to be washed by means of a pneumatic platform, which oscillates to facilitate washing. This process is accompanied by an ultrasonic phase, which takes place at the bottom of the washer.
This type of equipment is supplied in different sizes, from small portable washers to large capacity machines, which can incorporate a lifting platform to facilitate the loading and unloading of parts. Ultrasonic washing machines can also be equipped with filtering systems for oil separation and water treatment, among others. More information
