Integrated work areas

An EVS 1500-PL with integrated bunding, grated deck, handrails and a screened bay at the load end. Render.

A big tank is only half the job. The other half is the floor around it — where the operator stands, where the parts land, and where the liquid goes when it comes off the load.

We build that floor with the machine. Bunding to catch what comes off, a raised deck so the work happens at the right height, and a screened bay for the wet work beside the bath. Designed in from the start on a custom machine, or built as a separate unit that drops in beside a machine you already have.

The machine stands in a sealed bund with a lift-out grated deck over the top. Drips off the load, carry-off from the baskets and the wash-down at the end of the shift go to the bund instead of the floor. The grating lifts out so the bund can be cleaned.

• Sealed containment tray under the machine and the working area
• Lift-out grated deck at working height
• Falls to a sump with a drain point to your collection
• Handrails with mid-rail on the open sides
• Screened bay at the load end
• Bund sized to 110% of the largest vessel

A grated deck around the tank so the operator loads and unloads at working height instead of reaching down off the floor. Sized to the machine and to the traffic that has to get past it.

• Grated deck at working height around the machine
• Ramp or step access, handrails with mid-rail, kickplate
• Forklift and trolley access kept clear at the load end
• Hot-dip galvanised or stainless, to suit the chemistry
• Bolted to the machine frame, or free-standing
• Can be built over a bund as one unit

A screened bay beside the ultrasonic tank for pre-wash, rinse and hand work. Keeps the wet work and the splash in one place, off the gangway and off the rest of the floor.

• Three-sided screens at the wet end
• Bunded floor falling to a drain
• Hose point and drain connection
• Drain-down rack or bench for parts coming out of the bath
• Sits alongside the machine or on the same platform
• Sized to your largest part and the baskets it travels in

Designed into the machine from the start. One frame, one bund, one set of services, one commissioning visit. This is the way to do it on a custom build — the containment, the deck heights and the access are all worked out against the parts you are actually cleaning.

Built as its own unit and dropped in beside a machine that is already on the floor — ours or somebody else’s. The machine stands in it. Useful when the tank is fine and it is the floor around it that is the problem, or when site rules change after the machine went in.
