The automatic cleaning of trains operating regionally and nationwide requires distinctly designed wash technique. Several factors such as the shapes and combinations of trains, their varying design dependant on their drive system, the varying type of surface dirt (insects, diesel smut, abrasions by the pantographs, etc) make high demands an the cleaning performance and efficiency of the equipment. In addition the right choice regarding cleaning agents to be employed and the amount of dwell time before the physical brush wash is of paramount importance with regards to the final wash result.

Legal note: The following pictures may include equipment only available at a surcharge. The right to make changes to construction and design are reserved.

TRAINWASH C7000 SOA Catenary wash concept

The train wash unit model C7000 SOA can be designed for stationary, semi-stationary or mobile washing of trains and trams with pantographs (2 lateral untis w/o traverse).

Free-standing switchgear cabinet with integrated control panel

Stationary wash, semi-stationary wash, mobile wash for rail vehicles with pantographs

The frame construction of the Train Wash C7000 SOA can also be obtained at a surcharge in stainless steel.

Even round, front and rear surfaces are cleaned with the 2 swivelling (split) horizontal wash cylinders.

The side cylinders are controlled by an active power measurement for even and thorough wash results. Even slightly vaulted side areas are optimally cleaned by a mixture of diverse trimming lengths on the brush shaft.

The vehicle wash can be carried out despite the pantograph being folded out with the 2 swivelling (split) horizontal wash cylinders.

Drying blowers can also be optionally obtained for the TRAINWASH at a surcharge.

Even round vehicle front surfaces are spotlessly cleaned due to both brush halves being able to be adjusted to various angles.

TRAINWASH C5400 SOA Flexible wash concept

The train wash unit can be designed as a stationary, semistationary, or mobile wash for trains without pantographs. The TRAINWASH can be obtained as a 3-brush wash unit or as a 5-brush wash unit.

Control console wash unit with plastic foil keyboard display.

Stationary wash, semi-stationary wash or mobile wash for trains without pantographs

The basic model can be upgraded with skirt cylinders for the lower side areas of the train at a surcharge.

This wash unit concept can be implemented in a wash hall as well as outdoors. The frame construction of the TRAINWASH can also be obtained in stainless steel at a surcharge.

TRAINWASH C1000 SOA Stationary wash concept

The train wash unit model C1000 SOA can be designed as a stationary wash unit for trains with or without pantographs, without being restricted by the length of the train The side surfaces and alternatively the slanted roof surfaces can be cleaned during the drive-through process (with additional wash cylinders at a surcharge)

Depending on the speed at which the train drives through the wash unit, the unit is construed with a respective amount of cylinder pairs for applying the wash chemicals and washing off the dissolved grime. The unit is completed with free-standing spray and rinse stands.

Stationary wash for trains with or without pantographs

This wash unit concept can be installed outdoors as well as in drive-through wash halls.

The frame construction of the Train Wash C1000 SOA can also be obtained in stainless steel at a surcharge.

Minimize costs through water recycling

Quartz-gravel filter water recycling unit FONTIS

Water ist a precious natural resource and must be used sparingly. Drinking water is too valuable to be used for washing vehicles. Which is why it makes most sense to recycle water used for washing vehicles. Increasing fresh water supply and drainage costs are pushing car wash operators to seek a solution to these environmental and financial dilemmas. Your advantages: Favorable price/performance ratio Automatic back-flush (optional) High purification performance Space-saving construction Integrated supply pump and built-in air compressor User-friendly operation with SPC control Upgrade possibility through chemical pre-treatment for polluted water Conductivity meteringdevice

The FONTIS 30 has been especially designed for recycling drainage water from wash tunnels und larger truck and bus wash units with a recycling capacity of 30,000 litres per hour. Water recycling and compliance with specified official reglementations values are complied with just as are the demands for an automatic water recycling system with optional upgrade components.
