Project Summary

In the industry, it is essential to maintain vehicle and equipment readiness. Parts cleaning is a necessary procedure in equipment maintenance and repair. This activity occurs at all levels of vehicle and equipment maintenance. In the past, solvents have been used to clean oils and greases, soils, inorganic salts, and foreign particles from manufacturing materials or parts. However, increased awareness of the health, safety, and environmental issues surrounding the use and disposal of solvents has stimulated a search for alternatives

Many parts cleaning practices that once relied on petroleum-based solvents are being done with aqueous cleaning. Aqueous parts washers are often promoted as a pollution prevention alternative to traditional petroleum-based solvent parts washers. Aqueous parts washers have been used for decades to meet cleaning needs in the manufacturing environment, and they are rapidly replacing solvent cleaning systems and steam cleaners for out-of-frame cleaning of large parts and engines.

Project Objectives

Effective removal of grease and oil: Grease and oil always require special attention during cleaning as they are difficult to be removed. The automatic parts washer easily and quickly removes any greasy or oily residue from your industrial components without using harsh chemicals. It uses pressurized hot water jets with specialized detergents to remove the unwanted grime effectively.

The main objective of our project is to clean the contaminated parts without causing any kind of pollution to the environment that alternative techniques are being used by many companies that causes water pollution by using different chemical solvents as a cleaner. We overcomed this technique by using only water as a cleaner which is a tap water but at higher temperature because by using hot water there would not be any contaminants left on the desired clean part and also would not affect the environment.

 The high water temperatures result in high evaporation rates, causing most parts to dry immediately when the door of the washer is opened.

Project Implementation Method

The mechanical agitation of the parts provided by the rotating turntable that is driven with the help of a DC motor, the force of the spray jets, the heat, combine to strip oil, grease, carbon, etc., from the parts. The water is heated with the help of a heater located at the bottom side of the water tank. The spray manifold can be manipulated and custom-jetted to provide the best angle of impact for the type of parts being cleaned.

Access to the turntable is usually provided through a hinged door (manual or hydraulic), common on smaller units, or through a side access door that swings wide horizontally, common on larger units. With the side-opening access, the turntable usually travels on a heavy duty carriage that allows the turntable to rotate freely loading.

Benefits of the Project

Cleaning Effectiveness:

Perhaps the most important aspect of this technique when considering solvent substitutes is very much effective at cleaning the parts rather the alternative processes. Vehicle and equipment parts must be clean so that they can be inspected, repaired, or replaced. These parts usually contain large quantities of oils, grease, soil, and/or carbon deposits, which must be removed without adversely affecting the parts. We are not using any solvent chemical that would damage or effect the part and adequately clean the part,while alternatives are one that damages parts during the cleaning process, and were unacceptable.

Solvency:

 Aqueous cleaning solutions are much more limited in their ability to remove contaminants by chemical action alone than their solvent counterparts. For this reason, aqueous cleaning must be supplemented by mechanical action and increased temperature. Where the contaminants to be removed are especially thick or insoluble, large amounts of mechanical action can be required. For delicate parts contaminated with thick grease or other similar compounds, the usefulness of aqueous cleaning systems can be significantly limited.

Less Corrosive:

However, users questioned as part of the  evaluation report very few corrosion problems when using aqueous cleaners in automatic parts washers. Only 38 percent of the users reported any rust problem, and in each case, that was very minor surface rusting. Because they are used in conjunction with hot water, the aqueous cleaners used in automatic washers do not appear to cause a significant corrosion problem.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The standard power source requirements usually range from 120 to 220V, single-phase, for smaller units. Facilities wired for supplying the standard 208V may encounter problems with the larger units, which may require at least a 220V, three-phase supply. The larger units usually have motors or drives rated at 230V. The heater required with a minimum power of 12kW because the final temperature we need is 60°C with a heating time of 60 minutes.

The type of nozzle we are using is V jet nozzle and there are 13 number of nozzles we are using having each nozzle with diameter of 2.00E-03(mm) with a jet velocity of 32m/sec. The equipment shall be suitable for washing upto 40 kg load.
