A wheel wash system was recently commissioned for a large mining company at their busy Port Pirie facility in South Australia. The automatic wheel wash system removes fugitive dust that has adhered to truck wheels and tyres during the truck unloading process.
The wheel washer also eliminates tracking out of dust and mud when the trucks exit the wharf facilities and onto public roads. Zac Bartolovic from Accuweigh’s Port Adelaide branch sold the fully automatic AccuWash Wheel & Tyre Wash system which is completely self-cleaning.
Accuweigh’s wheel washer is fitted with a Hydrocyclone solids separator which removes grit and solids from the recycled wash water to ensure better wheel washing performance while also offering extra protection for truck paintwork. The Hydrocyclone is very environmentally friendly as the improved water quality greatly reduces the need for water stored in the wheel wash system to be dumped and replaced with fresh water.
Accuweigh’s wheel wash system is fitted with an automatic sludge remover which discharges solids from the base of the reclaim water tank after every wheel wash cycle. A self-contained steel pit is also being supplied to enable the wheel wash system to be easily relocated with minimal associated costs.
Accuweigh has a full range of truck wheel and tyre washing systems available from branches in all mainland states and can also manufacture custom wheel washing solutions to suit specific applications.
