Conveyor wash systems

Maximum convenience for high-throughput wash environments

Wilcomatic are the UK’s exclusive provider of Otto Christ wash systems – the industry gold standard. Our conveyor systems – also known as wash tunnels – are the perfect wash solution for operators looking to maintain a continuous flow of vehicles while making no compromise on wash quality, consistency and speed.

We supply our conveyor wash systems to businesses requiring a high wash throughput, including auction dealers and car rental sites with sufficient land (e.g. at airports). A conveyor delivers the exact same wash standard and attention to detail as one of our rollover systems – including foam splash, wheel wash and any combination of brushes. The only difference is that it is laid out over a longer distance, while the vehicle is transported through the process by motor-powered conveyor rather than under its own steam.

Conveyor wash systems offer a host of advantages for those looking to achieve the best possible wash quality in a high-throughput environment:

  • Process up to 100 vehicles per hour. With the right setup, our systems can consistently process this number of cars or vans, hour after hour. 40-50 vehicles per hour throughput is the most common requirement for businesses like car rentals.
  • Avoid traffic build-ups on site. Our conveyor systems are extremely convenient for sites lacking queuing space – such as automotive manufacturers – given they allow them to process multiple vehicles at once.
  • Vary speed to your specific needs. At the touch of a button, operators can adjust the conveyor speed. A slower conveyor delivers the highest possible wash quality while the fastest configuration prioritises vehicle throughput.
  • Available in a range of dimensions. A conveyor wash system from Wilcomatic can be anywhere between 12 and 50m long depending on your requirements and space. Varying the system’s length allows us to incorporate even more cutting-edge wash technology and features.

A tailor-made conveyor wash solution

Every conveyor system we deliver to our customers is custom-built to their unique requirements and delivered to Wilcomatic’s exacting standards. Our experts leave no stone unturned, and will recommend a wash portal based on what suits your business best. Here are just some of the customisable options of a Wilcomatic conveyor wash system:

  • Vehicle-carrying mechanism. Choose from a steel double strand chain or a plastic plate conveyor to guide vehicles through the wash tunnel. Both guarantee fantastic strength and durability, while we are also able to cater to four-wheel drive and electric vehicles, as well as offering additional rim protection.
  • Positioning aids and drive-in systems. Guiding plates help steer wheels smoothly into their lanes every time, while our retrievable insertion system stops the vehicle securely on the drive-in belt to provide greater safety.
  • Water recycling. Take advantage of our industry-leading water recycling technology – something especially important for conveyor wash systems which tend to use more water. Wilcomatic’s ‘working water’ division will help you reuse up to 95% of the water in your wash system, helping you make significant cost savings.
  • Aesthetic accessories. Public-facing car wash businesses may want to invest in extra features to make their conveyor system more visually appealing. With a range of coloured foams and lights available, we can create a tailor-made experience to wow your customers.
