Almco Engineering Assures Superior Performance in Stainless Steel, Cabinet-Style Washer

ALBERT LEA, Minnesota (April 7, 2006) - A rotary parts washer with a long-lasting, easy-maintenance stainless steel cabinet and internal components has been added to the broad line of parts-cleaning equipment and systems from ALMCO, Inc.

Ideally suited to manufacturing cell applications in larger plants, or shop locations that are specifically for parts washing and drying, the compact Model RCW-36E has a spacious turntable measuring 36" in diameter. This feature allows cleaning of larger parts or larger batches of smaller parts than another model from ALMCO - the RCW-30E.

The high-performance unit offers carefully engineered features for superior cleaning capability, including a spray system arrangement that assures maximum coverage of parts; two removable parts baskets that hold large individual parts or many smaller parts that can be washed at the same time; and a collection channel allowing for easy clean-out of the tank. Other features include a door on the top to allow loading the turntable from an overhead hoist if desired.

Requiring floor space measuring just 4 feet by 4 feet, the new ALMCO washer is front-
loading for easy accessibility and time-savings. Electric-powered, it has a work opening that measures 32 inches wide x 36 inches high, and a load height of 31-1/2 inches. Overall height of the machine is less than 6 feet.

Standard with the RCW-36E are an oil wheel collection tank, removable chip basket, adjustable spray pressure control, NEMA 12 electrical enclosure, door safety interlock, adjustable wash cycle timer, and electric immersion heater. Also available are a tank level option that offers heater protection and automatically maintains liquid level in the tank, and protective coating on the parts baskets for delicate parts cleaning.

For further information about the new Model RCW-36E, contact ALMCO, Inc., 507 West Front Street, Albert Lea, Minnesota 56007, phone 1-800-521-2740, or visit the company on the Internet at www.almcoinc.com.
