Hello,
I've recently been looking for a new semi automatic parts washer.
They look simple enough to make and I can use parts from other things easily.
Here's what they look like, but they cost around £3000.

The tank/basket etc are obviously straight forward.
For the pump, I thought about a dishwasher pump, coolant pump etc. Not sure which would handle the chemicals/heat best.
For the heat just an immersion heater and stat.
The items you buy have a ring gear on the basket, I've no idea where to get something like this from. The actual motor wouldn't be that hard, its just getting the gear to turn it. I thought about a belt or chain but imagine they wouldn't last long. Any idea's where I could get a ring gear from, or maybe made? Or different idea's on the drive to turn the basket.
Regards
Ricky
