We were looking for a better way to clean and remove our small components of preservative oils, we had tried various means of doing this, but none of them were efficient and they left an oil residue which caused problems to get the paint to adhere when we tried to paint after cleaning. We found “Hotwash” and after several trials and demonstrations at the “Hotwash” premises with Jim the proprietor who devoted a significant amount of his time to us we managed to come up with the right formula relating to correct chemical, time and heat duration in the machine to suit our needs and clean our components enough to allow the paint to adhere. Further to this on some of our components, the chemical used even provided an anti-rust coating. Jim at “Hotwash” was kind enough to demonstrate and guide us through the process until we finally made the decision to purchase the “Hotwash”   SS7870 stainless steel washing machine. We purchased the machine in August 2015 and since that time our cleaning has become clean and efficient to our needs and environmentally friendly, up to now apart from having to change the water and add chemical, the machine has worked and functioned well without any maintenance to date. We have been very happy to have purchased our machine from “Hot Wash” and has made cleaning easy and saved us money and kind to the environment.

Hi Jim, The machine has been in operation for a few years and feedback from all users is that it is performing very well and has proven to be extremely reliable.

“The washer purchased from back in 2013 has been brilliant. It has saved us so much time and money, not to mention downtime. We can no go ahead and order the parts we need while the Hotwash is doing its job. I could not believe how well the dirty parts came out. Most of the parts are submersible sewer pumps and they come out like new. Thanks for a great machine. We look forward to ordering our second one.

We have recently replace our Hot Caustic Tank with a new HT2000 Hotwash Tank. The HT2000 is very user-friendly and simple to use due to its automated features and safer environmental properties. Hotwash Australia provided excellent customer service support from purchase to installation and we would highly recommend Hotwash Australia.

The Hotwash is very effective and the operations are very happy. Brilliant service, thanks for everything.

Hi guys. Happy to give you a recommendation and act as reference for you. The hotwash machine is in use every day and has not missed a beat. It saves us time and money and the boys wouldn’t be without it”. Peter Gerhard, Engineering Supervisor SICAME Australia, QLD

Hi Jim, Just sending a quick email about the Hotwash that you sold us. We have finally used it for our first major overhaul of our fillers. We managed to get two fillers and one corker stripped and overhauled over the Christmas break. The Hotwash has vastly improved the standard to which we clean parts and the time it takes to clean the parts. In the past we normally have 4 x TA’s cleaning all parts by hand which would take about 4 days. We managed to have all parts cleaned in one day which enabled us to complete two filler overhauls (filling heads & lifting feet) of which one filler contains 100 filling heads and the other has 72. As you will see from some photo’s attached the heads and feet have cleaned up really well and the added bonus of 90 degree temperature, we now sterilise our heads at the same time. We have set up our Hotwash with pallet tank at the back which we pump caustic in and out of to recycle as we need to rinse in citric acid as the stainless components can start to corrode so we are using the Hotwash to rinse as well. We are extremely happy with the reliability of the machine and are particularly impressed with the performance of the unit. We would highly recommend a Hotwash machine to anyone who has a workshop that needs to improve their parts cleaning productivity and reduce costs.

“We have the new Hotwash HW1400G up and running and it is very fast and performing well. The boys love it!”
