Our product line of equipment contains wheel washing systems engineered with the specific intent to keep the roads clean and contain contaminated material. We believe you will find them to be an effective solution to resolve any track out issues that your customers might encounter. All of our units are available for purchase however, we are happy to provide short or long term rentals.
Like the rest of us, we are sure that many of your clients are witnessing the increasing amount of attention that is being paid to track out on city and state roads. As regulations have tightened, the responsibility and liability of dealing with track out has been placed on the shoulders of the owner to insure continued adherence to the rules throughout the full construction process. Desko's product line of equipment contains the only Wheel Wash Systems that are engineered specifically to address this problem. Unlike our competitors, our systems are not modified car wash systems. Our systems were specifically engineered using the principle of High volume and Low pressure to eliminate track out and keep the roads clean!
Our automated systems provide a fast and effective method of cleaning the wheels of every vehicle that exits a site through the construction entrance. If operated properly, our system will eliminate virtually 100% of the track out from your site. In addition, all of our systems offer a fully automated Closed Loop Solid Separation and Water Recycling solution so the water present at the construction entrance does not create additional issues. We have found them to be an effective solution to resolve any track out issues that your customers might encounter.
Desko handles two distinct types of automated wheel wash systems, Drive thru Wheel Washing systems and our unique roller units. Both types of units are extremely effective, however they each have different strengths. It is critical that we determine which systemwill be most effective for a specific site, so let me briefly describe the attributes of each system.
Operation of Roller Unit: The vehicle drives slowly onto the system and positions the axle to be washed between the twin rollers. The drive-motor of the twin rollers together with the wash pump are automatically activated via a mechanical start bar located between the twin rollers. Through the combination of rotating wheels and a spray-nozzle system, dirt, mud and clay are washed out of the tire profiles and into the system’s integrated under tank. Please watch the video at the bottom of this page.
A specially developed nozzle characteristic delivers an efficient water spray profile for targeted cleaning of the tire profiles, outer and inner wheel surfaces and part of the chassis. The spray nozzles are arranged so that the vehicle driver’s sight is not impaired during the wash cycle and that only a minimum of overspray is transferred into the surrounding area. The length of the wash cycle is dependent on operating conditions and is progressively adjustable via a timer located in the control cabinet. One complete tire revolution on the Roller Unit takes approximately 10 seconds. Operating Water Management: The sludge and dirty water is directed into the integrated under tank which has conical inner walls. A scraper-conveyor transports the settled out solid waste through the transversely positioned evacuation channel to the side of the Wheel washing unit into a sludge bucket which is provided as part of the system. The solid waste is being de-watered during the conveying process. The wash water is then further directed into a separate recycling tank for re-use. The wash-water pump is fitted inside the recycling tank. The use of a flocculent can greatly increase and optimize the sedimentation process. The flocculent is fed via an automatic dosing unit which is included in the system.
