THERMAL GUARD ENERGY SAVING SYSTEM
All Powerjet® Cabinet Style Parts Washers are fully insulated for energy efficiency. Who would purchase an un-insulated hot water heater? Combined with our cabinet vent damper and positive door seal, the Powerjet is designed to minimize energy costs while allowing you to maintain your optimum operating temperature.
SOLUTION SAVER FLUID MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The Powerjet® comes with many features that keep your wash solution clean and prolongs the useful life of the solution. First, there is a 100% full flow filtration. Since your parts are only as clean as your wash solution, we have an economical, reusable bag filter system. Among the advantage are the prevention of fouling cleaned parts, the elimination of manifold jet clogging, and dramatically extended solution life. In addition, there is a variable weir skimmer for removing free floating material.
OVERHEAD TURNTABLE DRIVE SYSTEM
The Powerjet® uses an overhead drive system for the wash turntable. The impedance protected gear motor and bearing are located out of the solution. This eliminates the need for drive wheels used by many manufacturers that require routine replacement. And the suspended turntable is able to support weights with less strain and wear. The EMC turntables rotate smoothly no matter where the load is located.
EASY RACK UNIVERSAL FIXTURING SYSTEM
The Easy Rack® universal fixturing system provides limitless parts loading combinations. Quickly position and grip virtually any part for optimum nesting and cleaning exposure. Often rivaling conveyor washers in capacity, the Powerjet with its multi level loading capabilities outputs many more parts than a traditional washer.
HEAVY DUTY CONSTRUCTION
The Powerjet® is designed to be long lasting with minimal maintenance.
- 12 gauge mig welded tank with 16 gauge exterior painted insulated tank
- 120 gpm heavy duty pump
- 8" door hinges with lubrication fitting on heavy box tubing door frame
- 2" full ported ball valve drain and 2" full ported oil skimmer outlet
LOW WATER SHUTDOWN SYSTEM
All EMC Powerjet® Automatic Parts Washers have a low water shutdown system to protect the heater system from a low water condition that can burn out the heaters.
7 DAY HEATING SYSTEM TIMER
All EMC Powerjet® washers come with a 7 Day Heating System timer. Enables the washer to turn on or off unattended. Allows the machine to be hot when you arrive in the morning and shut down at closing time.
HIGH VOLUME PUMP & MANIFOLD SYSTEM
Our high volume pump coupled with our straight stream manifold system quickly cleans your parts with minimal downtime for nozzle cleanout or pump repair. The 120 GPM pump flood washes your parts under low pressure. Low pressure drastically reduce maintenance time on pumps, motors, and spray jets. See our Product Information Bulletin - Spray Jets & Automatic Parts Washers.
13.5 KW HEATING SYSTEM
When you want to use your parts washer, you normally want to use it NOW! Our 13.5 kilowatt heating system quickly heats up the solution to operating temperature.
OFF THE SHELF COMPONENTS
There`s nothing we hate more than buying equipment with lots of proprietary parts. Not only are the parts usually expensive, but they can sometimes take months to procure. All of our components such as contactors, motors, switches, heaters, are easily available through local industrial supply companies such as Grainger or McMaster-Carr and we are more than happy to supply you with the part numbers.
PROVEN DESIGN
We`ve built thousands of parts washers over the last 35 years, always sticking to our philosophy of building quality, production style machines. We`ve made a few improvements and modifications over the years, of course, but you can be sure that the model you purchase from us has been field tested and proven in a variety of applications and for many years.
NO PROPRIETARY DETERGENT/SOAP REQUIRED
You are not required to use any proprietary detergent/soap in our Powerjet® Parts Washers. We recommend you contact your current chemical/coolant/lubricant suppliers and see if they have a "Spray Washer" detergent. A spray washer detergent should contain defoamers, rust preventatives, and be safe for the material you are cleaning (an aluminum safe detergent usually works well).

When was the last time you purchased a non-insulated refrigerator? Or a non-insulated hot water heater? Probably not recently. However, many Automatic Parts Washers, which are essentially hot water heaters, are not insulated against heat loss. This is despite the fact that over the lifetime of a parts washer, heating costs are often substantially more than the initial purchase price of the washer.
For example, to heat 100 gallons of water 80° (approximate increase from ambient temperature to 150° operating temperature) requires approximately 17 Kilowatts of electricity. With electrical rates ranging up to $.20 per kilowatt-hour, when you factor in the faster temperature recovery rate each time the pump is activated and each morning when the parts washer is turned on, the energy usage over a one years period can be quite substantial. Insulation of the wash tank can dramatically cut energy usage, often saving up to $500 per year.
However, increased energy usage is not the only drawback of non-insulated parts washers. Uninsulated parts washers operating at normal cleaning temperatures (140 deg F to 180 deg F) have extremely hot surfaces, which can scald and burn personnel. In addition, this wasted heat is added to the workspace, increasing building cooling costs and making for an uncomfortable work environment.
Finally, and often most critical, an insulated parts washer is more likely to maintain it`s proper operating temperature under heavy usage conditions. The constant opening of the wash cabinet door and on/off action of the pump accelerates the drop in temperature of the wash solution overwhelming the ability of the heating system to maintain temperature.
Partial insulation of wash cabinets, offered by some manufacturers, is usually done with prefabricated panels attached to easily accessible areas. This is better than nothing but is somewhat akin to leaving the refrigerator door only slightly open. Full insulation of the walls, roof, and door provide the most efficient and costs effective solution for cleaning efficiency, energy conservation, and operator safety.
Most industrial automatic parts washers use either fan style spray jets or straight stream spray jets. What`s the difference? Let`s suppose you are at home hosing down your driveway when you come across something difficult to remove. Most of us would simply adjust the nozzle to switch from the weaker, but wider, fan spray to the concentrated high impact straight stream.
This example demonstrates how a fan style jet has a wide coverage area but requires high PSI to generate much impact force. Furthermore, if the distance to the target increases without the PSI increasing, the fan style jet acts more like a mister as much of the impact force is lost to air resistance. Increasing PSI using larger horsepower pump motors will improve cleaning efficiency but can lead to other problems. Fan style spray jets under high pressure can induce air currents and blow around delicate parts. Also, since the fluid leaves a fan style jet in the shape of a "V", and parts washers need the coverage of several fan jets, the best cleaning is at a distance exactly where the "V"s meet. Too close to the fan jet and some areas are left in an untouched dead zone. Too far away and much of the impact is lost as the spray from adjacent jets collide. In addition, the unusable dead zone before the fan jets converge requires a larger washer cabinet for the same size wash load. To overcome these problems, some fan jet parts washer designs use adjustable or rotating wash manifolds.
The straight stream jet design has a high impact force at varying distances since the area being targeted is small. Good coverage requires many straight jets at close spacing. This calls for high GPM flow rates and larger plumbing to accommodate all the jets needed. Since the distance to the target is less critical, moving or adjustable manifolds are unnecessary. Also, because the straight stream pierces the air rather than pushing it, parts are less likely to be blown around, thus reducing the need for special racking.
The high PSI necessary to operate fan-jet style parts washers requires high horsepower pump motors. Being under high pressure, the motors, pumps, and seals on these units are more likely to fail and need replacing. The high volume, low pressure design of the straight stream parts washer does not require large expensive motors and the low pressure ensures a long life on system components.
The plugging up and subsequent cleanout of the jets is another significant factor in the efficient operation of parts washers. In a fan-jet type washer, the loss of a single fan jet leaves a large unwashed area. The close spacing and a large number of straight stream jets minimize the effect of the loss of a jet. In addition, cleanout of straight stream jets is relatively easy. Simply use a piece of wire, push the obstruction back into the manifold, remove the manifold cleanout port, and turn on the pump. To unplug a fan-jet normally requires the jet to be unscrewed, cleaned, and reattached.
Easy Rack Fixturing System
The Easy Rack Parts Fixturing System allows the user to customize the racking/holding of their parts in virtually unlimited configurations. Easily field adaptable for individual needs, multiple turntables, baskets, and other fixtures can be added or modified to suit your cleaning needs.
Jetport®
The Jetport® is located on the spray manifold and can be used to flush out the spray manifold or to modify the spray pattern to meet your needs. Standard 1 inch plumbing can be added to provide additional cleaning power where needed or to clean the interior of cylinders, engine blocks, or other items.
