ABSTRACT:
A parts washing apparatus with a centrifugal filter that substantially reduces the need to replace it solvent. The parts washing apparatus comprises a parts washing basin that has a centrifugal filter assembly located below its drain. The parts washing basin sits on top of a solvent container. When in use, the solvent is pumped from the solvent container to the parts washing basin, where it is used to clean parts. The now contaminated solvent flows down a drain in the parts washing basin, through a screen to the centrifugal filter assembly. A disposable filter is included in the filter receptacle of the centrifugal filter assembly. The contaminated solvent flows from the drain, into a disposable filter element located in a spinning filter receptacle, where centrifugal force draws the solvent back into the solvent container while the materials washed from the part remains in the disposable filter element. If desired, separate filter assembly can also be used to polish the solvent. A "retrofit" application for mounting the centrifugal filter assembly in existing parts washers is also described.
