PURPOSE OF THE MACHINE

This machine is designed for cleaning of vehicle wheels i.e. the
tyre and rim assembly. Any other area of use is prohibited.
This high quality piece of equipment for professional users
increases the service level and the efficiency in the workshop.
The wheel washer cleans the wheels with an environmentally
friendly cleaning method. Plastic beads (Shot Medium) and
water are blasted on to the rim with pressure, ensuring a gentle
and thorough cleaning for all kinds of rims. The dynamic flush
pipe moves slowly over the rim outside during the cleaning
process and reaches every spot on the rim, especially good for
cleaning high polished alloy rims, big tyres (SUV, transporters),
and more sophisticated rims.
