We recently installed a Custom Wheel Wash Bay for Calor Gas in East Kirby, UK. This state-of-the-art system ensures efficient and thorough cleaning of vehicle wheels, promoting safety, compliance, and environmental responsibility. Let’s dive into the details of this impressive setup:
The Components
- 10m Rumble Bath with Removable Grids:
- The 10-meter rumble bath features removable grids designed for easy cleaning. These grids remain above the water level, allowing access for jet washing tires.
- Side rails enhance safety during the cleaning process.
- The end stop ensures precise positioning of vehicles within the wheel wash area.
- 5m Rumble Ramps:
- The 5-meter rumble ramps facilitate smooth entry and exit for vehicles.
- These ramps ensure effective wheel cleaning as vehicles pass through the system by loosening compacted build-up in the tyre treads.
- Sump Tank and Main Tank with Water Recycling:
- The sump tank collects water runoff and debris.
- The main tank holds the clean water supply for the wheel wash system.
- Weirs installed on the tanks ensure cleaner water delivery through the hand lances.
- Pumps and Solenoids:
- Pumps move water from tank to tank, maintaining a continuous flow.
- Solenoids control water flow and emergency stops for added safety.
- Hand Lances:
- Two 12-meter high preasure hand lances allow manual cleaning of hard-to-reach areas.
- Automatic Filling with Ball Cock Valve:
- The ball cock valve automates water filling, maintaining optimal water levels.
- Efficient water management reduces wastage.
- Oil Separator:
- The oil separator keeps oil contained within the main 10-meter bath.
- Environmental responsibility is a priority.
Quality Craftsmanship
- All tanks, ramps, and pipework are made from steel, ensuring durability and longevity.
- Our commitment to quality extends to the fact that this system is designed & built by us in the UK.
