Detailed description of the Drawings. The industrial finishing equipment typically includes a continuous conveyor configured to suspend and pass the machined part to be finished, typically fabricated metal articles, on the front of machining stations designed to complete various finishing tests on the machine parts. The conveyor is arranged to drive the parts to be machined to several machining stations which may be arranged in an "in line" manner to facilitate the continuous operation of the conveyor and the continuous movement of the machined parts. The "in-line" configuration typically includes closely spaced machining stations arranged such that the finishing operations are preforming on the machining parts in a rapid progression. The machining stations of the industrial finishing equipment, however, can also be made to stand alone, as individual machining stations. Among the tests to be carried out on the machined parts is the washing of the machined part, both before finishing, and in some cases, after finishing the machined parts. Both government restrictions and increased customer quality expectations continue to increase the complexity of the surface washing processes, which typically include multiple rinsing and washing steps. These complex procedures in turn raise the demands on the cleaning equipment. Manufacturers develop in industrial finishing that have a substantial and growing need for simple, flexible and durable washing stations.

Advantageously, the continuous and smooth inner surface 80 of the housing 10 allows the infinite positioning of the silhouette panels 82 along the interior surface 80, thereby Significant flexibility in the design of the washing process is provided. Typically the silhouette panels 82 and the end panels 83 are made of the same materials as the housing wall panels 21, 22, 23, 24 although the silhouette glass panels reinforced with glass fiber 82 are not provided with a coating of gel and end panels 83, are typically provided with the gel coating only on the outside of the end panels 83. As with the internal components, the silhouette panels 82 and the end panels 83 can be polished on the inner surface 80 in a manner similar to the joining of the fins 44 described above. Successful results can be achieved by joining the silhouette panels 82 and the end panels 83 for the interior surface 83 using techniques other than polishing the silhouette panels 82 and instead of the end panels 83. For example, the fastening angles 85 can be polished to the inner surface 80 and the silhouette panels 82 and the end panels 83 can be recessed, riveted or even attached to the attachment angles 85 as shown in Figures 2 and 3.

The opening for the return of the solution 106 is placed to be in the trough 108. the wall 102 is formed to further have two positioning surfaces of the elongated grid 110 positioned to be along the sides of the trough 108, and two elongated drainage surfaces 112 positioned to be outside the outer sides of the grid positioning surfaces 110, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. A fin 114 is attached to the outer edge 116 of each of the surfaces of the grid. drained 112. The drain outlet panel 100 is arranged so that the portions that receive the drain outlet 46 along the bottom edges 36 of the housing wall panels 21, 22, 23, 24 couple the fins 114, and drain drainage panel 100 adjacent to the outer edges 116 as illustrated in Figures 2,6, and 7. The housing wall panels 21, 22, 23, 24 can be positioned to be within the drainage exit panel as you move FIG. 6. The receiving portions of the drainage outlet 46, then are joined to the flap 114, and a space 118 in the joint 120, as the cord 122 is received, and cover it with a cover material 124, as shown in Figure 6. Alternatively, the housing wall panels 21, 22, 23, 24 can be positioned to be outside the drain outlet panel 100 as shown in Figure 7 ?. The portions that receive the drain exit 46, then join the fins 114 and the space 158 in the join 160 that has the cord 162 and is covered by a cover material 164 as shown in Figure 7 > .

The drainage outlet panels 100 are preferably made of fiberglass reinforced plastic. As with the joints 74 between the fins 44, the fins 114 and the portions receiving the outlet of the drain 46, it can be polished by corrugation of the mating surfaces of the fins 114, and the portions receiving the outlet of the drain 46. , and the joining of the fins 114, and the portions receiving the outlet of the drain 46 with a fiberglass resin. The cord 122, 162 is commonly a ground fiber mat and the shell material 124, 164 is typically of an additional glass fiber resin and a glass fiber plate, which is commonly applied in one or two layers that it depends on the thickness required as indicated by the size of the housing wall panels 21, 22, 23, 24. These bonded structure forms a water-tight seal between the drainage outlet panel 100 and the housing wall panels 21 , 22, 23, 24. However, it is within the scope of the invention, as indicated herein, to provide a water seal or seal joints in place of the joints 120, 160 as described above. The drainage outlet panels 100, form the floor of the housing 10. The construction materials of the drainage outlet panels 100 are typically identical to those of the housing panels 21, 22, 23, 24, except that it does not apply solid coating to drainage outlet panels 100. In addition, draining surfaces 112, drainage outlet panels 100 can be formed to include surfaces that do not leak, for example by placing sand (not shown), on drainage surfaces 12, during manufacture prior to application of the final resin coating so as to provide an uneven surface having the sand incorporated in drainage surface 112. In preferred embodiments, the form of the drainage outlet panels 100 is arranged to direct the exit spray pattern 99 to the center through the 108t chute. The solution 99 flows through the opening 106 to a tank 126 positioned to be below the opening 106. However, the drain outlet panels 100 may already be flat or inclined. As well, dams 128 can be installed in the trough 108 below the grid 132 to divide the trough 108, from the drain outlet panel 100 in stages as shown in Figure 1. The drain outlet panel 100 is designed to support the grid sections 132, which are of the size to receive them on the placement surfaces of the grids 110, 11, of the drainage outlet panel 100 as shown in Figure 2. The central support 109 may optionally be on the panel drain outlet 100 to provide additional structural rigidity to drain outlet panel 100 and to provide additional support for grid sections 132. Grid sections 132 can be provided over full length 25 of washing machine 12, in certain sections of the washing machine 12, or they may be omitted completely. The drainage outlet panel 100 is typically on a tank 126, to support it as shown in Figure 2. Tank 126 includes an upper mouth 127 that can be attached to a steel frame (not shown). In the alternative, the mouth 127 can be integrated into the aeero frame to form a portion of the steel frame. In both configurations, drain outlet panel 100 is only on outlet 127, and is not connected to outlet 127, thereby allowing differential expansion between outlet 127 and drain outlet panel 100 and panels of the wall of the housing 21, 22, 23, 24, which are connected to the outlet panel of the drain 100. Generally, the steel frame houses the tank 126 that contains the washing solution 99t. The pipes 144, have a plurality of spray nozzles 146 that are attached to the pipes 144 that are in fluid communication with the tank. A pump 145 is provided to supply the pressurized solution to the interior of the pipes 144, as shown in Figure 2. The roller assembly 98 is configured to continuously move the machined part 98 along the raceway 16, of the conveyor rail 14 through the industrial finishing equipment. The pipes 144 are positioned to be adjacent the perimeter of the washing machine 12, and the spray nozzles 146 are spaced apart and directed towards the interior of the washing machine 12, as shown in Figure 2, so that the machined part 96 wash by the solution 99 according to the roller assembly 98 from which the machine part hangs, pass through the washing machine 12. The openings 106 in the drainage outlet panels rOTJ are placed to receive the spray solution 99, which runs from the machined part 96 to the housing wall panels 21, 22, 23, 24, the silhouette panel 82, the end panel 83, and the other surfaces placed within the housing 10. Solution 99 can be allow for it to run in the tank placed down from the opening 106 to be recycled for ultimate use. The grid sections 132 are placed over the openings 106, to prevent foreign material from entering the openings 106. The sections of the grid 132 also provide a walking surface for the maintenance workers to work within the housing 10. As shown in FIG. mentioned above, the silhouette panels 82 can be configured to support the pipe heads 84, which are attached to the pipes 144. The pipe heads 84 are placed on top of the machined part 96 as shown in Figure 2 or below. the machined part 96 as shown in Figure 3 ?. Additionally, the pipe heads 84 can penetrate the floor panel 26, the projection 30, or the bottom panel 28 of the housing wall panels 21, 22, 23, 24 in the case, that the pipe head 84 is provided with an airtight seal (not shown) to prevent leakage through the housing wall panels 21, 22, 23, 24. Typically, the stationery head 84 penetrates an opening 148 of size to receive the head of the pipe 84 which is formed in the silhouette panel 82 as shown in Figures 2 and 3. A platform 150 is positioned to be adjacent to the opening 148 and is attached to the silhouette panel 82 ?. The threaded fasteners 152 can be used to mount the platform 150 to the silhouette panel 82, or the platform can be polished so that the silhouette panel has a bonded structure similar to the joint 74 between the fins 144, described above. A band 154 is pulled around the pipe 144 and lowered to the platform 150 to secure the pipe 144 to the platform 150. Advantageously, the plastic housing reinforced with glass fiber 10, can be used in combination with black iron components. or normal stainless steel in the industry (not shown), such as tanks, exit systems, and access stairs. Also, the washing machine 12, in accordance with the present invention can be used as a pre-finishing treatment station and can be modified for use in a post-finishing rinse station having multiple steps to remove the cream coating after the application of electrodeposited paint. Modifications for this use may include, using alternate finishing techniques, and alter the inclination of the drainage surfaces 112, of the drainage exit panels 100. The construction of glass fiber reinforced plastic provides improved strength for the corrosion at a cost that is less than the cost of stainless steel. The use of fiberglass reinforced plastic also provides exceptional flexibility in relation to the size and shape of the component parts. The flaps 44, 114 secure the housing wall panels 21, 22, 23, 24 thereby allowing the washer 12 to be constructed with no internal support frame, which is typically made of steel. Advantageously, the elimination of the internal support frame eliminates the problems caused by the difference between the coefficients of the thermal expansion of plastics and metals. Additionally, the housing wall panels 21, 22, 23, 24 can be configured to receive a fiberglass door 200 that is made of fiberglass reinforced plastic to provide workers with entry and exit out of the washing machine 12 ?.
