- Washing Impact Energy - How much washing horsepower do you need to cause the cleaning you desire? What power density is required - the horsepower required rises exponentially as the turntable diameter increases. Power density is the horsepower supplied per cubic foot of work volume.
- Power Wash or Spray Wash -
What type of washing process is required? A Jet Spray
Washer has limited cleaning ability, depending primarily on flooding the parts with hot chemically concentrated wash solution. In the Power Wash process, utilized in all StingRay Industrial Parts Washers, dirty parts come clean using ultra hot solution blasted at the parts with high hydraulic impact energy.
