Operation of the MAXIMUS Wheel Washing System

The operation of the Neptune MAXIMUS wheel washing system is simple and requires no operator. As the vehicle approaches the system, the wash cycle is automatically activated by a Proximity Sensor. A technically engineered spray system creates an effective washing result for the complete length of the vehicle as it slowly drives through the tire wash system at walking speed. The angled profile construction of the wash area flexes open the tire profiles and supplements the cleaning effect, helping to dislodge heavier soils.

Each tire wash system is equipped with nozzles in the tread area as well as custom-milled side spray nozzles. These nozzles are easily adjustable to provide the most effective cleaning spray pattern for each site.

Maximus Series Systems can be configured in one of three ways:

• G series: As a gravity feed system which requires excavation for both the tank and the wash platform
• PR series: As a totally portable system which requires no excavation and includes ramps
• P series: As an easily relocated system which will require excavation for the wash platform only

ALL INSTALLATION CONFIGURATIONS CAN BE USED IN TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT APPLICATIONS.

The two (2) and three (3) tire revolution models can be equipped with Turbo Wash Nozzles for increased effectiveness in heavier soils. The above ground tire wash system utilize ramps to transition from the grade of the approach to the base of the wheel wash unit. These ramps also serve to help dislodge some of the heavier solids from the wheels on the approach, help shake some of the water from the tires on the exit; and help control the speed of the traffic.

So what’s the key to a highly-efficient wheel washing system?

Two issues must be addressed: (1) water supply, and (2) adequate water detention time. Neptune Automated Wheel Wash Systems handles both well. Each MAXIMUS Series wash platform each MAXIMUS Series wash platform is coupled with the appropriate sized water recycling and solid separation tank to insure an adequate water supply for the continual delivery of optically clear water.
