Coil-fed hot water washers from Automatic Feed eliminate particles more than 20 µ
Automatic Feed Co.’s coil-fed, high-pressure hot water washers eliminate oil and contamination on aluminum and various metals that can cause visible part defects during the stamping process. These washers strip away particles 20 to 40 µ and greater from the material.
The washers use a reverse-osmosis system to help ensure constant quality of incoming water for the washing process. They handle coil materials up to 84 in. wide and achieve a typical line speed of 300 FPM.
The systems include entry and exist mist containment, which prevents moisture and steam from escaping into the factory, and a spray chamber that contains the spray headers and nozzles directing water onto the material. An air knife system uses low-pressure/high-volume air to blow the water off the strip.
