Proceco Ltd.: Traction Motor Cleaning and Drying System

Proceco Ltd.

Proceco says its Traction Motor Automatic Washer and Dryer features an environmentally friendly water-based cleaning process designed to eliminate solvent usage. The cleaning process consists of wash, rinse and final rinse stages to clean complete assemblies or disassembled components such as stator frames, armatures, bearings and pinions. The system automatically removes carbon dust, dirt and grease from parts without any labor required except for loading and unloading. After the cleaning process is complete, mechanical parts flash dry in minutes while stators and rotors are transferred to the vacuum dryer, a faster and more economical method than conventional ovens for thoroughly drying such parts, the company says.
