How to Choose a Parts Washer
Match the right industrial aqueous parts washer — stainless steel spray cabinet, immersion, belt conveyor, rotary drum, or manual parts washer — to your parts size, contamination type (cutting oil, coolant, metallic fines), and production requirements.
Start with Your Parts
The most basic sizing question is: what's the biggest part you need to clean? Measure the length, width, and height of your largest typical component. That part needs to fit inside the wash cabinet with clearance on all sides.
Next, consider weight. Magido spray cabinet washers range from 330 lbs on compact X81 models to 1,500 lbs on the largest Eco series machines.
Finally, think about throughput. If you're cleaning 50 parts per shift, a spray cabinet works. If you're cleaning 500, you need a continuous-feed system like a belt conveyor or rotary drum washer.
Not sure where to start? Use the selector to find the right product family, or switch to the Capacity Calculator to see exactly how many parts each machine can handle per shift.

Cleaning Methods Compared
Each method has distinct strengths. Choosing the right one depends on your parts, contamination, and cleanliness requirements.
Top Load Spray Cabinet Washers
Eco, X81, X51 & X51/2 Series
Parts loaded onto a motorized rotating turntable inside an enclosed stainless steel cabinet and blasted with heated aqueous solution from strategically positioned spray nozzles. Available in single-stage wash and dual-stage wash/rinse configurations. AISI 304 stainless steel throughout, made in Italy.
Front Load Spray Cabinet Washers
X53, X53/2 & FLS Series
Parts placed on a fixed platform that rolls out on a mobile cart for loading, then closes inside an enclosed cabinet where angled spray nozzles on a spray ramp wash all surfaces. Designed for heavy, bulky parts up to 1,500 lbs that cannot be lifted into a top-load machine.
Immersion Washers
Agita Series
Parts fully submerged in heated aqueous solution with pneumatic platform oscillation to force cleaning solution into every internal cavity. Removes cutting oil, coolant, and packed-in machining residue from complex machined parts.
Belt Conveyor Washers
Silver & Gold Series
Parts travel on a stainless steel mesh conveyor belt through enclosed wash, rinse, and drying stages. Integrates directly into automotive and machining production lines for continuous high-volume parts cleaning.
Rotary Drum Washers
Jolly & Spira Series
A helical screw-type rotating drum continuously tumbles and advances small parts through spray and immersion cleaning stages. Removes cutting oil, coolant, and chips from small machined components in bulk.
Rotary Immersion Washers
Platinum Series
Combines direct spray impingement with full immersion and rotational basket agitation through separate wash and rinse stages. AISI 304 stainless steel, made in Italy. Specified for aerospace, automotive, and precision machining applications requiring validated cleanliness.
Manual Washers
DG, L & HP Series
Heated stainless steel work tanks with flow-through brush, flexible spigot, and integrated filtration for removing cutting oil, coolant, and grease. HP series adds 870 PSI spray wand for heavy soils.
