Automatic washing bays

Automatic closed-loop washing bays

Tecnoter Group automatic washing bays are systems designed for the complete and professional cleaning of vehicles and operating equipment such as motor sweepers, compactors, tractors, tankers, containers, and complex industrial vehicles.

These solutions are ideal for contexts where rapid, repetitive, and structured washing cycles are required, with high standards of operational efficiency and environmental sustainability.

The washing system is based on high-pressure pump units that feed controlled nozzle arrays strategically positioned on the base and side walls of the bay. This configuration allows for the uniform removal of sludge, oil, debris, and processing residues, even in the most difficult-to-reach areas.

Dedicated options are available for interior cleaning, allowing for the complete treatment of cargo compartments and interior surfaces of vehicles.

Modular structure and customizable configurations

Tecnoter automatic washing bays feature a modular structure, allowing for customized configurations based on:

  • the type of vehicle
  • to the available spaces
  • to the operational flows of the site

The hot-dip galvanized steel construction guarantees strength, resistance to chemicals, and durability over time, making the bays suitable for intensive use in industrial and shipbuilding environments.

Closed-loop washing cycle (optional)

Automatic bays can be integrated with water treatment and clarification systems to operate in closed-loop mode.

In this configuration, the washing water is:

  • recovered and conveyed to the treatment system
  • subjected to separation of sludge, oils, and contaminants
  • chemically and physically rebalanced
  • reused in subsequent washing cycles

This solution reduces water consumption, lowers operating costs, and supports compliance with environmental regulations applicable to the site.

(The adoption of a closed circuit depends on operational requirements and the relevant regulatory framework.)

TC Connect – Remote control and smart management

TC Connect is Tecnoter's real-time monitoring and control system, designed to simplify the management of automatic washing bays via smartphone, tablet, or computer.
Continuous monitoring of operating parameters helps increase productivity and prevent unscheduled downtime.

TC Connect Features – Basic Version

  • monitoring of key parameters (pumps, lighting, minimum tank levels)
  • operating hour counter
  • notifications for maintenance interval management

TC Connect Functions – Protocol 4.0 / 5.0

Includes all basic features, plus:

  • period data download
  • remote system control, sludge extractor, heating, and lighting
  • advanced parameter monitoring (pumps, filters, polyelectrolyte mixer, pressure washer)
  • consumption monitoring
  • historical data visualization
  • remote data access

(Some features may require auxiliary components not included in standard configurations. Adoption depends on the model and operating context.)
