For more than three decades, MecWash Systems has been at the forefront of industrial parts cleaning, delivering high-performance aqueous cleaning solutions to manufacturers worldwide. At MACH 2026, the manufacturer celebrates ten years of its flagship MWX series, widely regarded as one of the most advanced component cleaning systems available to modern industry.
John Pattison, managing director of MecWash, comments: “Returning to MACH for the 10th time gives a sense of continuity and permanence, 22 years of consecutive exhibiting at the premier event in UK manufacturing. It is also a decade since the first MWX system was launched at MACH.
“The MWX series has been developed specifically to meet the demands of modern industry, combining powerful cleaning performance with intelligent design and precise process control.
“Each MWX system is engineered as a bespoke solution, tailored precisely to the customer’s components, contaminants and production requirements. This approach ensures not only exceptional cleaning results but also consistent surface finish and complete drying, critical factors in downstream manufacturing processes,” said John.
Advanced Cleaning Technology for Superior Results
At the core of the MWX series is a combination of proven and enhanced cleaning technologies:
Multi-stage rotational immersion washing and rinsing
High-performance spray systems with six-face coverage
Increased ultrasonic power for deep penetration into intricate features
High-volume rinse capability for a high quality finish
Integrated hot air and vacuum drying for complete moisture removal.
These elements work together to ensure that even the most complex components are cleaned thoroughly and efficiently, meeting the highest industry standards.
In addition, the MWX series incorporates Industry 4.0-ready features, including PLC control, I/O Link integration, and remote diagnostics. This enables manufacturers to monitor performance, optimise processes, and integrate cleaning seamlessly into automated production environments.
MWX400 – A New Standard (2016)
The MWX journey began with the launch of the MWX400 at MACH 2016. Building on the success of the MIDI system, the MWX400 introduced significant advancements in cleaning capability and system design.
With a process chamber of approximately 400 x 450 x 600 mm and a water flow rate of around 600 litres per minute, the MWX400 delivered a step-change in cleaning power. Enhancements such as doubled ultrasonic performance, six-face spray technology, and improved maintenance accessibility set a new benchmark for industrial parts washing.
MWX300 – A Compact Footprint (2022)
Responding to the needs of high-specification, low-volume manufacturing sectors, the MWX300 was introduced in 2022. Designed for industries such as aerospace, electronics, and medical manufacturing, it offers exceptional cleaning performance within a smaller footprint.
Despite its compact chamber size (300 x 300 x 400 mm), the MWX300 delivers the same high standards of cleanliness as its larger counterparts. It is particularly suited to precision components with complex geometries, where detailed cleaning and drying are essential.
MWX600 – High-Capacity Cleaning for Large Components (2024)
The latest addition to the range, the MWX600, extends the MWX philosophy to large-scale industrial applications. Designed for components such as gearbox housings and engine parts, it features an expansive wash chamber (600 x 660 x 800 mm) and increased ultrasonic capacity.
This system combines scale with precision, enabling manufacturers to achieve superior cleaning results on larger, heavier components without compromising on quality or efficiency.
Beyond cleaning performance, the MWX series delivers tangible operational benefits:
– Improved production efficiency through faster, more reliable cleaning cycles
– Reduced rework and scrap rates due to consistent cleanliness
– Lower operating costs through efficient water and energy use
– Environmental benefits from aqueous cleaning processes and reduced waste
By integrating advanced cleaning technology with intelligent system design, the MWX series supports manufacturers in achieving both productivity gains and sustainability targets.
John Pattison concludes: “Our parts washing systems are designed to handle the most challenging applications, from complex geometries to stubborn contaminants, delivering repeatable, world-class results.
“As manufacturing continues to evolve, the demand for higher cleanliness standards, greater efficiency, and smarter processes will only increase. The MWX series will continue to deliver the performance, flexibility, and reliability required by modern manufacturers for the next decade to come,” said John.
