Product Description

Powerful, Safe and Rapid Hot Wash with a new Stainless-Steel Cabinet by Ranger

The RS-500DS is a new face with a completely stainless-steel construction, as well as top-of-the-line features! It also features all of the same components that made the RS-500D the amazing automotive parts washer it is, all with the additional rust-free stainless-steel construction. This high-quality steel is completely resistant to deterioration and the harmful effects of rust, so you can rest easy knowing this investment will stay with you for a very long time.

By utilizing an octagonal full-opening door, the RS-500DS will provide easier access to the turntable for loading and unloading parts. The RS-500DS sports simple operating controls, brass nozzles, a gasket-free door and a beefier, industrial-grade 70 gpm pump which demonstrates Ranger’s commitment to enhance performance and productivity. Ranger constructed the cabinet and door with heavy-duty 12-gauge steel and then coated it with an industrial two-step primer and powder coat finish. The automatic low-water shutoff includes audible and visual alarms. Fast-acting dual water heaters ensure faster and safer cleaning. Plus, revised circuitry and a new electronics board ensure better all-around performance, durability, and improved operator convenience, which makes the RS-500DS a solid choice among professionals worldwide.

Fast-release door latch

The RS-500DS includes a swift-release door latch which comes built-in for technician convenience. The interlocking door helps make sure that the cleanser material remains free from contaminants and inside the tank, not your floor.

Neoprene door seal

The cabinet on the RS-500DS is sealed with a leak-proof neoprene door which creates an edge-to-edge seal. It also prevents water and steam from escaping. Keeping steam inside ends up creating an enhanced water retention which ends up improving cleaning efficiency.

Movable filter basket

The cabinet also includes a robust trap filter to secure large particles which are greater than 1/8”. The filter basket is removable for unfettered access to the cleansing solution tank and easy maintenance.

Multi-directional sprayers

This washer is equipped with industrial-strength multi-directional spray jets are located below, above and on the sides to wash away set-in grime.

Steel oil skimming system

Rangers Parts Washers include a stainless-steel oil skimmer which will miraculously separate oil and grime from the water to increase the viable longevity of the detergent solution cleanser. Oil and other contaminants are directed via downspout into holding containers.

Contamination-proof cabinet welds

The RS-500D features full perimeter welds on the inside shelf of the cabinet perfectly adjoin and seal the cabinet wash area from the detergent tank, which will keep unwanted debris from seeping directly into the recirculating tank below. Even microscopic debris that can clog the pump and spray nozzles will be redirected to the debris trap and filter, eliminating the chance of equipment downtime due to contamination.

Stainless steel nozzles

Rather than use pipe-tree and drilled holes, Ranger’s parts washers include replaceable spray nozzles which are made of stainless steel. These sprayer nozzles include a sharply articulated spray grid that gives users a high-quality cleaning experience and performance that doesn’t end up corroding your washer pieces.

Low water shutoff

To keep your parts washer in great condition for as long as possible, Ranger has developed them to include a low water cut-off switch which will eliminate equipment downtime due to heater and pump damage. An industrial-grade stainless steel float placed in the detergent tank will rise when the water tank is full, and it’ll gradually descend as water evaporates. Once the water levels are too low, the washer will shut off instantly. This will end up preventing irreversible pump-seal damage and heating coil burnout.

Dual heaters

This parts washer is equipped with two water heaters which will ensure your machine reaches optimal washing temperature within mere moments. A smaller, energy-efficient secondary heater acts as a detergent pre-warmer when it’s turned on in order to keep the water primed and ready for washing. During washing cycles, a larger primary heater will turn on immediately, which will quickly heat the cleaning solution for optimum cleaning efficiency.

NEMA-rated electrical panel

The RS-500D features a sealed, water-resistant, NEMA-rated electrical box which ends up playing a critical role in the electrical management of the parts washer. The well-organized electrical system includes easy to identify circuits for the breakers, a water tank thermostat, and timers for both oil skimmer and turntable operation. Smart circuitry will prevent nuisance breaker tripping and it’ll enhance overload/overheat detecting and protection. A proprietary audible and visual alarm will activate when the low-water sensor detects unsafe operating conditions. Once the water level becomes too low, the washer will remain inoperable until the water level is restored, and the button is reset by the operator.

Double-pole circuit breaker

The Eaton Cutler-Hammer 20/30-amp Quadplex Double-Pole Type BR Circuit Breaker boasts a 2-pole, 20-amp breaker for the heater. It also includes a separate 2-pole, 30-amp breaker for the motor and pump combination.

Non-marring casters

There are a few reasons to use urethane casters instead of steel. Urethane casters are hard, sturdy, and won’t damage your flooring. These casters are easy to lock and release, and weather and adverse shop conditions won’t impede the functionality and longevity of these casters.

Durable turntable

The system behind the parts washer turntable is friction-drive, which helps to eliminate potential motor damage by reducing the risk of component jamming within the cabinet.

Industrial casters and convenient tank drain

The heavy-duty rubber swivel casters also provide sensible maneuverability. Ranger parts washers include built-in pipe drains which eliminate sludge from the floor of the parts washer tank.

Safety switch and timer dial

A door switch will turn off the washing cycle while the door is opened, all while a variable 60-minute timer allows for different wash cycle times to be set manually.

Removable tree rack and components basket

The quick-mount parts tree rack and hanging component parts basket is perfect for the cleaning of smaller components. If you end up using the parts tree and basket in conjunction with parts on the turntable, you’ll end up being able to tackle more parts cleaning in less time. The center tree rack can easily be removed to allow for additional clearance.

Extra accessories come standard

When you purchase a Ranger parts washer, you’ll also receive a removable parts rack, a small parts basket, and also 25 lbs. of detergent.

Commercial-grade pump/motor combination

Each Ranger parts washer comes with a centrifugal pump which has been specially engineered for parts washing applications. The pump body is located at the rear of the cabinet and is comprised of 100% ductile cast iron, while silicon carbide seals protect all sensitive machinery within. Stainless steel impellers and screw nuts won’t even rust out on you, while Nitrile NBR O-rings and carbon steel brackets close out the incredibly efficient and sound design of the power unit.

Hot cleaning

Fast heating is accomplished via a nickel-based, alloy-sheathed heater element which has been specifically designed for heated parts washing applications.

Thermostat

An adjustable set point thermostat sports a heating range that can go up to 175°F.

Aluma-Klean soap removes oil, stains, and grease with ease

Aluma-Klean from Ranger is a mild parts cleaning soap which is designed to clean aluminum, stainless, and other delicate parts without whitening the surface. Aluma-Klean parts cleaning soap isn’t a solvent, but rather it’s a non-foaming, low pH, mild-alkali, water-soluble, powdered detergent which was specifically formulated for high pressure heated parts washing systems. Its incredible cleaning action removes grease, oil, baked on stains, carbon, protein, as well as some paints.
