Technology

What is in the machine, and what is still on the bench.

Two lists on one page, in that order and clearly labelled. Everything in the first is running on a customer's site today and is specified on that product's own page. Everything in the second is honest about not being there yet.

In the machine today

Six things doing real work on customers' sites.

Each of these is specified on the page of the machine that carries it, so you can check us rather than take this grid on trust.

Load-sensing brush carriage

Motor current tells the controller how hard each brush is pressing, and the carriage answers — so pressure stays even across a bonnet, a windscreen and a tailgate.

Consistent finish, less wear

Contour-following nozzles

The top beam profiles the vehicle as it comes and tracks the shape down the screen and over the roof instead of spraying a flat plane.

Touch-free that actually reaches

Programme control

A PLC with named wash programmes, selected by the operator or the bay controller, with the step showing on the display so the customer can see what they paid for.

Repeatable, and legible to the driver

Closed-loop water recycling

Multi-stage reclaim — separation, filtration, carbon, softening — recovering and reusing 80–90% of the wash water.

Lower bills, and effluent evidence

Multi-bay VFD pumping

One pump set on a variable-frequency drive serving a row of bays, ramping to the number of guns actually open rather than running a pump per bay.

Less installed motor, less idling

Metered chemistry dosing

Dosing pumps per product and per programme, so foam, wax and drying agent go on at a rate somebody chose rather than whatever the venturi drew.

Chemical cost you can predict

The one that pays for itself

80–90% of your wash water, used again.

Recovery is the thread running through every range we sell, because every machine we make consumes water. It is also the only one of these technologies we argue for in rupees rather than adjectives: it shows up on the water bill, on the effluent report, and in the week the supply is rationed and you are still open.

Not shipped — in development

What we are building, and will not sell you yet.

These were on this page as capabilities. They are not capabilities, they are work in progress, and the difference matters when you are signing for a machine. When one of them is running on a customer's site it moves up the page.

In development

Connected uptime reporting

Telemetry off the panel into a dashboard. The parts exist; what does not yet exist is a measured uptime figure across a connected fleet, so we do not quote one.

In development

Predictive maintenance

Using that telemetry to flag a failing pump or a worn bearing before it stops the bay. Real once there is enough run-time data behind it to be better than a service schedule.

In development

Number-plate recognition and billing

Per-vehicle billing and access control for fleet yards and subscription washes.

In development

Before-and-after imaging

Photographing the vehicle in and out, so a damage claim can be answered with a picture rather than an argument.

If a feature matters to your site, ask and we will tell you whether it is in the machine today, an option, or on the list above.
