Frontloader – Stator house

A close collaboration resulted in the delivery of this large washing machine to a Danish manufacturer of wind turbines and was installed at one of the their many factories outside Denmark.

This washing system works functionally just like our standard frontloader spray washer, but otherwise there are not many similarities between the two washing systems. The whole machine was tailored to the customer’s statorhouses from scratch and the customer had a long list of requirements for the task itself.

For operation purposes we had to load the stator houses at floor height, where they were placed on the automatic inlet track with either a crane or forklift, after which the large massive parts were loaded into the washing facility, before the large stainless doors were closed via. a two-hand control.

The parts themselves , which measure 1300x1300x2700 mm and weight up to 5 tonnes, must be washed both inside and out, which meant we developed a special spray washing device. The device consisted of our standard rotaing spray system from top, bottom and sides on the outside. In addition, we had a specially developed nozzle tube that moves down onto the stator housing from above via. a gear moter that moves the nozzles up and down during the washing process.

The challange with this task was not to wash the parts, but the actual handling of such large parts and the heavy weight which required a very strong construction. The washing system was installed without problems, and the customer has since been washing stator housings around the clock with any further problems or breakdowns.
