Whatever your industry, cleaning parts manually is time-consuming and tedious, wasting valuable employee time. Over-aggressive cleaning can damage components, and harsh chemicals are dangerous to workers. An automatic parts washer takes the burden off employees, protecting them and freeing them for more specialized tasks.

​

Hotsy Carlson’s Cuda Automatic Parts Washers perform the nastiest cleaning jobs for you with pressurized hot water and environmentally safe, specialized industrial detergents. Just load the parts, close the door, and push start. Dirt, grease, and grime melt away.

Hotsy Carlson Knows Parts Washers

In the late 1980s, the industry realized that traditional solvent tanks were hazardous and even carcinogenic to workers. For efficiency and to avoid harsh chemicals, the Cuda founders purchased a parts washer to clean wheel bearings, gearboxes, and other greasy parts.

​

The device cleaned well but was big, bulky, costly to heat, and hard to maintain. The Cuda founders, four brothers, designed a new version that was lighter, mobile, energy-efficient, and easy to use.

​

The market was ready for a better mouse trap, and the Cuda name became synonymous with parts washers. Today, Hotsy Carlson carries a broad range of Cuda parts cleaners for virtually every application.

Maximum Versatility

Parts washers are versatile pieces of equipment that are a fantastic addition to your operation. They clean your tools and parts while workers perform other work, and these effective devices improve productivity and increase efficiency.

​

You can clean everything from nuts and bolts to transmissions and engine blocks with a parts washer. Only the cabinet size limits you, and you avoid toxic and troublesome solvents that harm workers and can mean costly medical liability.

​

These parts washers use only an aqueous cleaning system and hot soapy water to make large and small parts and tools shine like new. They are life-changing for almost every industry. Here are a few:

• Automotive repair

• Industrial manufacturing

• Medical processing

• Plastic fabrication

• Food processing

• Oil patch

Simple Operation

If you think your employees will need extensive training to operate a Cuda Parts Washer, set your mind at ease. One simple-to-operate parts washer can usually support three to four technicians or mechanics, freeing them to do the income-producing work you hired them to do.

 

When parts or tools need cleaning, instead of spending hours scrubbing and inhaling harsh solvents, your employees simply put the items in the cabinet, close the door and push “Start.” It’s as simple as that.

High Performance

Cuda parts washers from Hotsy Carlson can clean metal, plastic, and rubber components and are especially effective in removing dirt, carbon, petroleum products, and metal shavings. We have a system designed for your needs with load capacities from 500 to 5,000 pounds.

 

Even if you have wide, narrow, big, or small items to clean, we have a parts washer for the job. Whatever model you choose, these parts washers are durable and take up the smallest footprint possible, saving valuable space.

Safe and Environmentally Friendly

Traditional parts cleaning involves solvents that can irritate the eyes, skin, or throat from contact or inhalation. Long-term exposure has caused cancer, nerve damage, and skin issues. In addition to the human cost, your business loses time and money to non-remunerative tasks, illness, and liability.

 

Using a Cuda hot water parts washer from Hotsy Carlson avoids these products. Dangerous chemicals like toluene, benzene, acetone, or butyl cellosolve are a thing of the past. The detergents Hotsy formulates for our aqueous parts washers use water and non-caustic, environmentally-friendly ingredients to quickly and safely clean parts and deliver the high performance you need.

Feature-Rich
