DRUM WASHERS
Baron Blakeslee offers a variety of standard and custom Drum Washer designs. Drum Washers are ideal for continuous feed of material through an automated cleaning process. Drum Washers are available with electric, gas or steam heat. Drum Washers are available to suit any capacity requirement from small volumes to very large volumes. Integrated washing, rinsing and drying of product is easily accomplished in a Drum Washer for parts of high geometry, or parts that are otherwise difficult to clean due to blind holes, etc.
Drum Washes are ideally suited to metals recycling applications such as the cleaning of metal chips and turnings prior to subsequent processes such as re-melting. Cleaning in a Drum Washer can provide metal chips & turnings in a high state of purity that minimizes carbon content and other impurities in the remelting process. Metals such as aluminum, titanium, and high nickel aerospace alloys such as Inconel, Monel, Hastelloy and others may be recycled in this process. Exotic metals such as beryllium and zirconium may also be processed in Drum Washers.
For titanium recycling applications, Baron Blakeslee offers Drum Washers designed and built to Class 2, Division 1 standards for intrinsically safe, explosion proof operation with static control and fire suppression systems built in.
Baron Blakeslee offers a fully integrated suite of pre and post processing ancillary equipment to compliment a Drum Washer installation. For example in the case of metals recycling applications, Baron Blakeslee can provide integrated conveyors, shredders, ring roll crushers, hammer mills, swarf centrifuges, etc on the front end of the Drum Washer. On the back end of the Drum Washer, Baron Blakeslee can provide conveyor systems, shaker systems to concentrate volume in totes or Super Sacks, weighing systems, and interfaces to industrial data collection systems.
Baron Blakeslee Drum Washers are available for use with a variety of chemistries, including aqueous and hydrocarbon cleaning agents.
