Aqueous Parts Washers for Electrical and Electronic Component Cleaning
Electric motors, generators, switchgear, transformers, and industrial electronic housings accumulate contamination — carbon dust, oils, moisture, and conductive debris — that degrades insulation, increases operating temperature, and leads to premature failure. Cleaning these components correctly, without introducing moisture into sensitive windings or damaging insulation, requires the right approach. Magido's controlled aqueous parts washers provide a safe, effective method for industrial electrical component cleaning.
What Contaminates Industrial Electrical Equipment
Industrial electric motors and electrical components fail for predictable contamination-related reasons: conductive carbon tracking on insulation surfaces, oil mist infiltration from nearby machinery that degrades winding insulation, metallic dust that creates short-circuit paths, and moisture accumulation that accelerates insulation breakdown.
Regular cleaning of motor housings, end bells, rotor assemblies, switchgear enclosures, and connection housings removes these contamination sources before they cause failure. In remanufacturing operations, thorough cleaning before rewinding or reconditioning is essential for quality and warranty compliance.
Cleaning Motor Housings, End Bells, and Rotor Assemblies
The mechanical components of electric motors — cast iron or aluminum housings, end bells, bearing housings, and rotor assemblies — are cleaned effectively in Magido spray cabinet washers. These components do not have the moisture sensitivity of windings and can be cleaned aggressively with heated aqueous solution.
Magido's front-load and top-load spray cabinets accommodate motor housings from fractional HP to large industrial frames. The automated cycle removes oil, carbon, and grease from all external and accessible internal surfaces. Load capacities up to 1,760 lbs handle the heaviest industrial motor frames.
Controlled Cleaning for Sensitive Components
Components with insulated windings, potted electronics, or sealed assemblies require a more controlled approach — targeted cleaning of external surfaces and housings rather than full immersion or high-pressure spray directed at sensitive areas.
Magido's adjustable spray pressure and cycle time controls allow technicians to dial in the appropriate cleaning intensity for the component at hand. Temperature control prevents thermal shock to materials with different expansion coefficients. For switchgear and enclosure cleaning, front-load cabinets provide easy access for positioning parts to direct spray away from sensitive internal components.
Post-Cleaning Drying: Critical for Electrical Components
Residual moisture after washing is the primary concern with electrical component cleaning. Parts must be thoroughly dried before reassembly, testing, or return to service. Magido washers with optional drying stages use heated air circulation to remove surface moisture from cleaned parts within the same machine cycle.
For critical applications, post-wash baking in a drying oven provides the additional assurance of complete moisture removal before electrical testing. The Magido wash cycle removes the contamination; the drying stage ensures no moisture is reintroduced to the assembly.
