CUDA 7248 Capacity: Built for Big Parts and Heavy Loads
When the parts get bigger, the parts washer has to keep up.
The CUDA 7248 aqueous parts washer is built for demanding industrial cleaning applications where smaller cabinet washers simply do not have enough room or load capacity.
At the center of the 7248 is a massive 72-inch diameter turntable — a full 6 feet across — with a rated capacity of 5,000 pounds, or 2.5 tons.
Above the turntable, the machine provides 48 inches of working height, creating a large cleaning envelope for heavy industrial components, oversized parts, or a large batch of smaller parts loaded at one time.
Large Capacity Where It Matters
The CUDA 7248 offers three dimensions that immediately set it apart:
- 72″ / 6′-0″ turntable diameter
- 5,000 lb / 2.5-ton turntable capacity
- 48″ internal working height
That combination makes the 7248 an excellent choice for facilities cleaning large machinery components, railroad parts, steel mill components, heavy-equipment parts, gear housings, pumps, assemblies, fabricated parts and other oversized industrial components.
The large turntable also gives maintenance departments another advantage: batch cleaning.
Instead of cleaning parts one at a time, operators can load multiple components onto the turntable and allow the automatic aqueous cleaning cycle to handle the work while employees move on to other maintenance tasks.
Big Parts or a Big Load of Parts
Capacity is not only about fitting one oversized component.
A 6-foot turntable gives a maintenance department the flexibility to clean:
one very large part, several medium-sized components, or a substantial load of smaller parts during one cleaning cycle.
That can help improve shop productivity, reduce manual cleaning time and create a more consistent parts-cleaning process.
For industrial facilities that regularly deal with large or heavily contaminated components, an automatic large aqueous parts washer can become an important part of the maintenance operation.
Automatic Aqueous Cleaning
The CUDA 7248 uses heated aqueous cleaning to remove grease, oil, grime and other contamination from industrial parts.
Once the parts are loaded and the cleaning cycle begins, the machine performs the washing automatically.
That means a technician does not have to stand at a wash station manually cleaning each component.
For plants, maintenance departments and repair facilities processing a steady volume of dirty parts, that difference can translate directly into better use of labor.
See the Scale
The photo above puts the size of the CUDA 7248 into perspective.
A 6-foot turntable, 48 inches of working height, and 2.5 tons of load capacity provide a substantial amount of usable cleaning space inside one automatic parts washer.
For many industrial applications, the question is no longer:
“Will the part fit?”
It becomes:
“How much can we clean in one cycle?”
