Wash bay pumps are integral to the effective cleaning of heavy vehicles and equipment often used in the agriculture, construction, and mining sectors. These systems, which can be temporary or permanent, small or large, covered or uncovered, are designed to wash cars, containers, and heavy equipment like tractors, bulldozers, grinders, forklifts, graders, and backhoes that are exposed to abrasive materials, fuel, dirt, oil, and chemicals daily.
Wash bays employ several types of pumps such as positive displacement pumps, pressure centrifugal pumps, submersible wastewater pumps, sewage pumps, and vacuum pumps to fulfil their function properly and efficiently.
The operating principles of wash bay pumps, such as those used in vehicle wash bays and carwashes, are designed to be both effective and efficient. These pumps can be used in underground bays and automated systems for cleaning vehicles and equipment.
The process begins at the wash pad area where high-pressure water systems, including pressure washers or water cannons, spray off dirt and grease from the vehicles. The wash pad is angled to catch the dirty water, leading it to a basin that collects water contaminated with chemicals and grime.
This dirty water is then directed towards a water treatment recycling system. Contaminants are effectively separated from the water, which is stored for future reuse, making the process very energy-efficient.
Meanwhile, pollutants are efficiently drained into a disposal system. High pressure pumps provide convenience, using less electricity and water, contributing to an eco-friendly cleaning process. By effectively rinsing off excess dirt from trucks and other equipment, these pumps enhance their function and longevity.
Positive displacement pumps operate by forcing a fixed volume of fluid from the inlet pressure section of the pump into the discharge zone. These pumps are generally used when dealing with viscous fluids or when precise flow control is required.
Centrifugal pumps work by using the centrifugal force to move fluid through a piping system. These pumps need to be filled with fluid (primed) before they can operate. They are commonly used in many commercial and industrial applications, including water, sewage, petroleum and petrochemical pumping.
