When nothing standard fits
Multi-stage lines, passivation and degreasing systems, and one-off tanks — stage count, chemistry, transport and footprint engineered around your part rather than around a catalogue.
Six- and seven-stage lines, enclosed washdown systems, and tanks built to a part nothing standard suits.
CM series — a multi-stage line built to order. See custom builds →
Most jobs fit a standard machine. Some genuinely do not.
A standard tank assumes a basket, a bath and a part that fits both. The jobs that need a custom build are the ones that break one of those assumptions — a part too long for any catalogue tank, a chemistry sequence that needs six stages rather than three, a passivation step that cannot share a bath with degreasing, or a transport arrangement dictated by what the part weighs and how it has to be held.
A CM build starts from the part and the takt time and works outwards. Everything else — stage count, tank sizes, frequency per stage, filtration, drying method, how the load moves — follows from that.
Two we can show you
A six- and seven-tank passivation and degreasing line
Engineered in two configurations — six tanks and seven — for a defence-sector manufacturer, separating degreasing from passivation so neither contaminates the other, with dip and dry stations at the end of the sequence. Dimensioned general arrangements exist for both options.
Customer not named. Renders and the general arrangement are on the engineered plant systems page.
An enclosed industrial system for a meat plant
Racks, trays, saw components and smallgoods equipment cleaned to export-plant standard, in an enclosed system built for washdown duty and continuous shift work. The full study is written up with the process card and the results.
Sometimes the answer is a standard machine, modified
Not every non-standard job needs a clean sheet. Four of our ranges have a custom route that starts from a proven platform and changes what needs changing — usually cheaper and faster than a full CM build.
UltraMax HX custom
Immersion tank sized to your workpiece — volume and ultrasonics calculated on the page.
Size your own →Bring the part, not the specification
The fastest route to a costed custom build is to clean the actual part first and write down what worked. That becomes the process card, and the machine gets built to run it. Talk to us about the part before anything is engineered.
Integrated work areas
Bunding to catch what comes off the load, a raised grated deck so the work happens at working height, and a screened washbay for the wet work beside the bath.
Built into the machine from the start, or as a separate unit that drops in beside one already on the floor. Quoted as its own line, ex GST.
