The BHS Battery Wash Cabinet (BWC) cleans harmful contaminants from a battery’s surface, which extends the life of the battery and reduces electrical problems in lift trucks. The BWC is available in five models and is constructed with stainless steel for durability. The BWC models offer adjustable wash options and water nozzles, providing quick, efficient cleaning for various battery types.

The BHS Battery Wash Cabinet (BWC) provides heavy-duty cleaning of harmful contaminants from a battery’s surface, which extends the life of the battery and reduces electrical problems in lift trucks. The BWC is available in four models and is constructed with stainless steel for durability. The BWC models offer adjustable wash options and water nozzles providing efficient cleaning for various battery types. The BWC also automates the washing process, freeing staff for more productive tasks while the battery is serviced. Cleaning forklift batteries in an enclosed cabinet also reduces the likelihood of staff injury due to exposure to electrolyte spray.

Features & Benefits

  • Adjustable wash times for efficient cleaning
  • Stainless steel construction offers rugged durability
  • Low operating cost combined with labor-saving cleaning process saves time and money
  • Adjustable legs to accommodate uneven floors (excludes BWC-1-M-DD)
  • Heavy duty door for industrial applications
  • Adjustable water nozzles to accommodate various battery sizes
  • Separate air/water delivery manifolds for optimum efficiency (excludes BWC-1 and BWC-1-M-DD)
  • Contact factory for other voltages and frequencies

BWC-1

The BWC-1 is equipped with a manual door and gravity feed rollers. The BWC-1 utilizes 120 V single phase power with adjustable timer and allows batteries to drip dry. This cabinet can accommodate a range of battery sizes and is quick and easy to operate.

BWC-2

The BWC-2 is equipped with an air operated automatic door and powered rollers for convenience in side-extraction applications. The powerful BWC-2 uses 240/480 V 3 ph power. Automatic air blow-off removes excess water. This heavy duty machine works well for battery washing service providers or operations that want to quickly wash their batteries on-site.

BWC-3

The BWC-3 is built with an in-feed conveyor for overhead loading of batteries, which makes the BWC-3 the preferred model for Gantry Crane systems. This powerful battery washer uses 240/480 V 3 ph power. The BWC-3 is equipped with an automatic air blow-off and also indexes the battery onto the in-feed conveyor for unloading at the end of every cycle.

MOBILE UNITS

BWC-1-M-DD

The BWC-1-M-DD is equipped with dual, outward opening doors and friction strips. The BWC-1-M-DD utilizes 120 V single phase power with adjustable timer and allows batteries to drip dry. Features fork pockets for mobility (not to be used while battery is on unit).

Additional features:

  • Dual Oscillating Wash Manifolds
  • Dual Anchor points secure equipment during transport or to permanently secure equipment inside facility
  • Indicator light notifies operator when battery drip-dry time has elapsed
  • 12” x 12” (305 mm x 305 mm) polycarbonate windows on top panel and upper door panel

BWC-1-M-DD-120-KIT

The BWC-1-M-DD-120-KIT enables on-site battery washes, eliminating the time and expense required for transporting batteries to and from separate maintenance facilities. The BWC-1-M-DD-120-KIT consists of three units: One clean-water tank, which includes a wash pump and an auxiliary hand-spray wand; an additional mobile tank for dirty water; and a Battery Wash Cabinet, model BWC-1-M-DD. This modular design makes it easy for service providers to wash forklift batteries at customer facilities and cart away contaminated wastewater upon completion.
