Conveyor cleaning systems

Conveyor cleaning and degreasing systems are often an integral part of the manufacturing process. Tunnel conveyor systems undertake the continuous cleaning of industrial components, utilising a combination of spray washing with hot detergents, rinsing and ‘air knife’ drying stages. Conveyors can be continuous, using constant or adjustable speeds, or can be indexed to enable fixed intervals during which objects are cleaned.

Many conveyor systems utilise the Archimedes Screw Principle, in which components are transported through a corkscrew-shaped device with washing stages occurring inside the central drum of the machine. This kind of procedure can deal easily and effectively with large volumes of parts per hour or minute, whilst requiring minimal handling and supervision.

Typical conveyorised cleaning systems can comprise multiple stages; each designed to treat a different part of the cleaning cycle. These stages include immersion washing with agitation, spray washing, steam cleaning, rinsing and drying, all of which can be accompanied with appropriate chemical treatments. The movement through the cycles can be handled automatically, often with computerised controls.

Conveyor systems often include heating to enhance the performance of the detergents, an oil-skim system to effectively remove oil-based residue, filtration through a variable selection of micron filters for the removal of solid materials, and automatic feed and collection systems to keep a continuous movement of components through the cleaning cycle.

Conveyor systems can be integrated into the manufacturing process or can be used as ‘stand-alone’ equipment. Either way, Riley Industries have a large selection of versatile systems available that can provide the ideal solution.
