Overview

BWC-1

The BWC-1 is equipped with a manual door and gravity feed rollers. The BWC-1 utilizes 120 V single phase power with adjustable timer and allows batteries to drip dry. This cabinet can accommodate a range of battery sizes and is quick and easy to operate.

BWC-2

The BWC-2 is equipped with an air operated automatic door and powered rollers for convenience in side-extraction applications. The powerful BWC-2 uses 240/480 V 3 ph power. Automatic air blow-off removes excess water. This heavy duty machine works well for battery washing service providers or operations that want to quickly wash their batteries on-site.

BWC-3

The BWC-3 is built with an in-feed conveyor for overhead loading of batteries, which makes the BWC-3 the preferred model for Gantry Crane systems. This powerful battery washer uses 240/480 V 3 ph power. The BWC-3 is equipped with an automatic air blow-off and also indexes the battery onto the in-feed conveyor for unloading at the end of every cycle.

MOBILE UNITS

BWC-1-M-DD

The BWC-1-M-DD is equipped with dual, outward opening doors and friction strips. The BWC-1-M-DD utilizes 120 V single phase power with adjustable timer and allows batteries to drip dry. Features fork pockets for mobility (not to be used while battery is on unit).

Additional features:

Dual Oscillating Wash Manifolds
Dual Anchor points secure equipment during transport or to permanently secure equipment inside facility
Indicator light notifies operator when battery drip-dry time has elapsed
12” x 12” (305 mm x 305 mm) polycarbonate windows on top panel and upper door panel

BWC-1-M-DD-120-KIT

The BWC-1-M-DD-120-KIT enables on-site battery washes, eliminating the time and expense required for transporting batteries to and from separate maintenance facilities. The BWC-1-M-DD-120-KIT consists of three units: One clean-water tank, which includes a wash pump and an auxiliary hand-spray wand; an additional mobile tank for dirty water; and a Battery Wash Cabinet, model BWC-1-M-DD. This modular design makes it easy for service providers to wash forklift batteries at customer facilities and cart away contaminated wastewater upon completion.
