CV washing expertise from Wilcomatic
Washing specialist Wilcomatic has outlined the advantages of its comprehensive range of wash systems.
“At Wilcomatic, we understand every fleet’s washing needs are unique, which is why we’ll work with you throughout the entire design and installation process to create the perfect solution,” said the company.
“Washing your entire fleet to the best possible standard, with a quick turnaround time and at the lowest cost isn’t just about the wash technology itself – it’s about how smoothly it fits into the flow of your site and how long your vehicles are not in use.
“So whether the size of your fleet has recently outgrown your existing wash arrangements, or you’ve invested in new vehicles which don’t fit your current setup, Wilcomatic can help you make washing easy.”
Businesses needing to process a high throughput of trucks will usually opt for a rollover gantry system, says Wilcomatic. Its options currently include the Christ Magnum and Christ Taurus systems.
The benefits of Wilcomatic’s gantry systems include availability in a range of heights (100mm increments up to 5m high); brush wash, touchless wash or combination wash configurations; electronically controlled brush pressure for optimum cleaning results; and the option of semi-stationary variants for smaller washbays.
However, for fleets of vans and smaller trucks, conveyor systems are also a viable option, says the firm.
“Our conveyor wash systems can expertly wash a continuous flow of vehicles by allowing several vehicles to be processed simultaneously. This solution is extremely flexible; Wilcomatic can custom-build a conveyor system to the precise needs of your fleet – delivering throughput of up to 100 vehicles per hour if required.”
Customisable elements of the conveyor solutions include variable speed configurations; a choice of steel or plastic vehicle-carrying mechanism; water recycling technology; and positioning aids and drive-in systems.
For bus operators looking to wash their fleets in a more timely and efficient manner, a drive-through system is likely to be the best option to achieve the highest throughput, Wilcomatic says.
“With buses needing to be washed at the end of every day’s service, processing whole fleets quickly enough can present a real challenge – especially considering the high standard of cleanliness public transportation vehicles are held to,” said the company.
“The Wilcomatic 4-brush drive-through model provides a quick wash and is reliable and robust enough to process hundreds of vehicles every day.
“With many depots located in city centres, space is at a premium. Drive-through systems cut down on queuing and help streamline the flow of vehicles between the fuel, wash and parking cycle which is so vital to a smooth-running operation. Every depot is different, so Wilcomatic’s engineers put in extensive research to find the best solution for your existing infrastructure.”
The versatility of Wilcomatic’s wash systems will serve users well if their fleets are made up of a mixture of vehicle types, the firm adds.
“Our gantry wash systems can be programmed to wash vans, trailers and even cars at the press of a button, ensuring the whole fleet is catered for from a single wash solution.
“At Wilcomatic, we’re passionate about finding the perfect solution for your fleet’s needs, and the flexibility of our wash systems is matched by the flexibility of our packages. We offer a variety of structured finance packages.”
