As part of ALMCO’s Spiral Bottom Bowl (SBB) Series, the SBB-8 features an 8 cubic-foot working capacity and is part of the company’s latest generation of round finishing machines.

ALBERT LEA, Minnesota, July 9, 2026 - For efficient, high-volume parts washing, ALMCO will showcase its PW12 single-stage, inline parts washing system in booth #S18053 at FABTECH 2026, providing continuous, flow-through capability. From October 21-23 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, the PW12 will be paired with the company's SBB-8 round bowl finishing machine that delivers extreme efficiency, ease of operation, versatility, and high output.

As part of ALMCO's Spiral Bottom Bowl (SBB) Series, the SBB-8 features an 8 cubic-foot working capacity and is part of the company's latest generation of round finishing machines. As a spiral bottom-bowl-style unit, the SBB-8 provides a larger open area below its screen to aid in the travel of parts around the bowl during batch processing. It also decreases the final incline to the screen during part discharge.

SBB Series machines also feature processing chambers with continuous retention baffles, including long internal screening sections for effective part removal. SBB Series machines are available in several sizes, and ALMCO will custom-configure them with options for specific end-user applications. When equipped with an air-operated discharge door, the machines can be easily integrated into automated systems, eliminating the need for most manual intervention.

After finishing in the SBB-8, parts move to the PW12 washing system. The system eliminates repeated part lifting, staging, and transfer steps, reducing cycle time and lowering the risk of ergonomic-related injuries. Its continuous part flow between operations also improves throughput, reduces bottlenecks, and supports more predictable production scheduling.

The ALMCO PW12 can be engineered with various conveyor widths and belt styles.?Rust inhibitor and drying sections are also available, and other system features include a variable-speed stainless-steel conveyance system, a removable stainless-steel chip tray, adjustable spray nozzles for 360-degree coverage, and heated wash and rinse tanks.
