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.

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.
