AutoRotator for Shower Systems

The AutoRotator from Appleton solves the problem of operators having to periodically “crank” the cleaning rod to keep nozzles flowing freely by automatically cleaning internal pipes and nozzles without operator intervention. The AutoRotator shaft and cleaning brushes positioned inside the shower pipe scrub pipe and nozzles clean after each valve opening. Cleaning intervals can also be preset or adjusted as needed by the operator. A single button on the AutoRotator activates a “manual” cleaning cycle. The AutoRotator can be retrofitted onto existing Appleton Manufacturing shower systems.

Integrated Unit

The valve bonnet comes off and the Appleton AutoRotator goes on.

Simple Installation

The Appleton AutoRotator can be mounted to any 1-1/2" to 2"' Appleton Adjustable Angle Shower - either with a new shower installation or as a field upgrade. The actuator mounts to the shower with 5 existing fasteners. Your water system plumbing and shower mounting remain unchanged.

Optimal Safety

The Appleton AutoRotator design separates the electrical controls from the actuator. The control panel can be remotely located, away from the wet machine environment and at a point convenient for the operator.

PLC Controlled

The AutoRotator PLC is pre-programmed for the cleaning cycle, making the system completely automatic.

System Requirements

The Appleton AutoRotator requires a 1-1/2" to 2" Appleton Internal Brush Shower and:

  • 110VAC, 7 amp service
  • 100 psi air at 27 cfm during the 30-60 second cleaning cycle
  • If the hydraulic version is chosen, a single 480/3/60 line will be required for the pump
