Under Chasis wash takes place at the entry of the wash bay. The under chassis wash uses the same water pump, that for the main high pressure arch. It consists of network of special high impact nozzles, which remove dirt effectively from the bottom surface. The Under Chassis Wash System is controlled from the Operator’s Panel. It can set to two modes, they are :- Automatic and Manual. When the system is switched to Automatic Mode, the Under Chassis Wash system gets activated automatically as the vehicle enters and is deactivated as soon as the complete truck passes over it. The nozzles, fittings and pipes, all are made up of Stainless steel, which ensure prolonged service life. All the rotating parts use Solid State Teflon bearings, which can run in harshest environments and do not require any lubrication throughout their life. |
An arch is installed at some distance from the wash bay. As the truck moves through it, the blowers start automatically and remain ON for 60 secs (depends on local conditions) or till the truck is moving through it. There are eight blowers , two on the top and three on each side.
