Air-Operated Solvent Parts Washer — No Electricity, Spark-Safe

If you are cleaning with a low-flash-point solvent, the pump motor is the thing worth thinking about. This washer runs entirely on shop air — an air-driven diaphragm pump, no electrical connections anywhere on the unit — which removes the ignition source rather than trying to shield it.

  • The air-driven diaphragm pump running on shop air alone
  • Why no electrical connections matters around flammable solvent
  • The fusible-link lid and containment
  • Where an air-operated unit is required rather than just preferable

Keep clean parts from flash rusting

Freshly cleaned metal rusts faster than dirty metal — washing strips the oils that were protecting it. Our sister company Solvent Recycling Systems distributes Cortec VpCI corrosion-control products that protect parts between the washer and the next operation.
