Industrial Washer FAQs

What is an economical industrial washer?

An economical industrial washer is a cost-effective cleaning and pretreatment system designed for reliable, repeatable part washing without unnecessary complexity. These systems are ideal for manufacturers that require consistent cleaning performance while maintaining controlled capital and operating costs.

How many stages does an industrial washer need?

The required number of stages depends on part cleanliness requirements, coating specifications, and downstream processes. Most economical industrial washers are configured with 2 to 5 stages, typically including wash, rinse, and optional heated stages for pretreatment prior to painting or powder coating.

What is the difference between a spray washer and an immersion washer?

Spray washers use high-pressure nozzles to clean parts as they move through a tunnel, making them ideal for continuous production lines and complex geometries. Immersion washers submerge parts in cleaning solutions and are typically used for batch processing or heavy contamination. RayPaul Manufacturing engineers both types depending on application requirements.

Can an economical washer be used for pretreatment before painting or powder coating?

Yes. Economical industrial washers are commonly used for pretreatment prior to painting or powder coating. Proper washer design ensures surface cleanliness, chemical compatibility, and rinse quality to support consistent coating adhesion and finish quality.

Are stainless steel washers available?

Yes. While economical washers are commonly constructed with powder-coated aluminized steel, stainless steel panels, tanks, and risers are available for applications requiring enhanced corrosion resistance or chemical compatibility.

Can the washer be expanded or modified in the future?

RayPaul Manufacturing’s economical washer systems are designed with modular construction, allowing additional stages, upgraded pumps, or process changes to be incorporated as production requirements evolve.

What industries commonly use industrial spray washers?

Industrial spray washers are widely used in automotive manufacturing, fabricated metal production, agricultural and construction equipment, OEM manufacturing, and contract finishing operations.

Can an industrial washer be integrated into a turnkey finishing system?

Yes. Economical washers can be supplied as standalone units or fully integrated into a turnkey industrial finishing system including paint booths, curing ovens, conveyors, and controls.

How is the washer sized for my production?

Washer sizing is based on part dimensions, production rate, required dwell time, and facility layout. RayPaul Manufacturing engineers each washer system to meet throughput goals while maintaining consistent cleaning performance.

Do you offer custom industrial washer systems?

Yes. In addition to economical models, RayPaul Manufacturing designs custom industrial washer systems for demanding applications requiring specialized materials, advanced automation, or unique process requirements.
