How it Works

ROwasher

As Powerful as Solvent, Without the Hazards

Designed to clean dirty, oily parts, ROwasher offers a powerful alternative to solvent parts cleaning. The ROwash Degreasing Solution effortlessly cuts through grease and grime to leave parts like new. But the clever part comes, in the way ROwasher deals with its used fluid. 

ROwasher uses the SCIENCE of bioremediation – NATURE`S clever way of cleaning up, to dramatically reduce its waste fluid generation.

  • Increasing workshop efficiency

  • Bringing significant cost savings

  • Safeguarding the health and safety of staff

  • Lowering impact on the environment

  • Assisting compliance with legislation such as IS014001

How it works

ROwasher heats the ROwash Degreasing Fluid to 38°C-42°C for better cleaning results. This is also the optimum working temperature for our microbes.

The ROwasher System has Three Elements

The ROwasher Machine

This new generation manual parts washer heats to 38°C but increases to 42°C when in-use for faster contaminant removal. 

With a double-skinned insulated tank and built in Eco-Mode feature, ROwasher realises around 54% energy savings compared with leading competitor. 

ROwasher to suit any workshop space – static, mobile, XL.

Heated to 42°C, the ROwash Degreasing Solution removes the most hardened grease and grime, washing parts clean, leaving no film or residue, and is pleasant to use.

Releases no harmful vapours or VOCs and is pH neutral and solvent-free. 

NSF certified.

ROwasher microbial filter

ROwasher used Bio-Filter ready for a change

The Microbial Filter Mat is where the magic happens! It not only traps grease and debris in its top layer, preventing it from entering the system, it also has 200 million oil loving micro-organisms encapsulated in its blue layer. 

Each new filter change releases these microbes into the system where they break down hydrocarbons and “eat” the oil and grease washed off dirty parts, turning it all into harmless carbon dioxide and water.

Leaving the parts washer fluid clean for every use, reducing the need for hazardous waste disposal and the associated costly service contract. 

We have a single layer Microbial Filter Mat and a Multi-Layer option to meet more heavy-duty cleaning demand.

Easy Maintenance

The ROwasher is easy to maintain in-house with no expensive service contract required.

Simply change the Microbial Filter Mat every month to replenish the microbe colony and top-up with 20L ROwash Solution when the low fluid indicator light on the machine shows.

rowasher features

  • The ROwasher has a double skinned tank designed to enhance the thermal properties of the machine and reduce energy consumption and evaporation. Its double wall adds strength and robustness to the machine. The ROwasher is designed for structural performance to withstand a considerable weight load of parts, compared to competitor machines. It will hold 150kg with ease.

  • All the electrical parts of the ROwasher are housed in the control box unit. We have made this completely removable for maintenance ease and service and minimising the amount of WEEE disposal. The benefit to the customer is next day delivery of replacement part if you do experience machine failure. The unit can simply be swapped over by the customer without the need of a service callout and extended downtime while you wait for service engineer to attend.

  • Other parts washers need an oxygen pump to aid the bioremediation process. No oxygen pump is required in the ROwasher because we have specially chosen microbes that work on aerobic and anaerobic levels - we discovered in our comparative laboratory work that oxygen causes more sludge to be circulated through the solution.

  • The ROwasher features an energy saving Eco Mode, where the temperature drops to 37°C when not in use (overnight and weekends). This not only saves on energy costs but we have now developed the ideal environment for the microbes to grow; an operating temperature of 42°C is great for cleaning but we have introduced microbes which thrive at lower temperatures too meaning healthy microbes that will best degrade the oil to ensure our customers achieve the best possible cleaning performance. We balance cleaning with the bioremediation to achieve the best results.

  • This has significantly reduced our environmental footprint.
