Customer Background

Customer is a world leader in producing boat motors

Challenge

Cleaning aluminum parts, including bearing housings, using a conveyorized cleaning system with parts robotically loaded and manually unloaded.

Solution

Alliance figured out how to clean machined aluminum parts of coolant chips and dry the parts by using a conveyorized belt washer with wash (heated) and blowoff (heated). Notable features on this aluminum parts cleaning machine were a mist collection system, oil skimmer, nylon glass reinforced conveyor belt, external bag filter, sound dampening package and product sensors.
