The HD-12-SPW serves as a practical alternative to full size scale parts washers when space and budget is limited or in cases when a client has a modest number of weigh scales. By mounting specialized slide-in, slide-out wash racks on transport dollies, parts can be conveniently transported from the weigh scale to the washer. This innovative feature protects the parts during transfer and extends their lifespan by reducing the number of times parts are handled. Plus the HD-12-SPW eliminates the need to cut a hole to recess the machine in the mezzanine, dig a pit or use a ramp. Developed in cooperation with manufacturers of multihead weighers, the Douglas Model HD-12-SPW is designed to quickly and efficiently wash, rinse and sanitize weigh hoppers, chutes and feeder pans. The machine features two stainless steel tanks that can be heated with electric, gas or steam booster heaters. One tank is used to recirculate detergent wash water and the other is for dispensing sanitizing rinse water. Wash times are pre-programmed at 4, 6 or 8 minutes. Regardless of the wash cycle selected, each is followed by a 30 second sanitizing rinse and a 60 second steam exhaust cycle. Using the shortest wash time, the machine can process up to 10 batches an hour. At this maximum rate of operation, the HD-12-SPW will use just 56 gallons of water per hour. Specialized slide-in/slide-out wash racks that are mounted on convenient transport dollies are designed to protect parts during cleaning and extend their lifetime. Change-over time is significantly reduced because the hoppers and feeder pans of most 12 head scales can be cleaned in just two batches.
