ABSTRACT:
An improved automated agitating immersion washer includes a wash and rinse station which operates by triple-action to agitate and rotate a basket of dirty parts with respect to fluid in a tank and further turbulates the fluid with respect to the basket to more effectively clean the parts. The washer has a two state blow-off drying station wherein one stage the basket is rotated in the presence of forced heated air while in the second stage, the basket sits stationary in the presence of forced heated air to complete the drying cycle. While the washer has an indexing mechanism which moves individual baskets through each successive stage, and each stage operates independently of the other stages so that baskets may be continually loaded and unloaded from the wash without waiting for one basket to complete all cycles of the washing sequence. The wash unit with its triple-action washing function therefore operates more efficiently with biodegradable and environmentally safe detergents than conventional washers and further has a higher throughput than conventional washers due to the independent operation of each stage and the indexing mechanism.
