ANEW service being offered to fleet operators by 'Rollosbrite Ltd., 140 Station Road, Redhill, Surrey, is vehicle washing from a mobile unit. The unit is an adaptation of the Carvalette car-washing device designed for customer-operation on filling station forecourts, with all the necessary equipment mounted on a light van. All the equipment needed by an operator to take advantage of the service is a cold water lap and 13-amp. Dower supply, although staging is recommended for high vehicles such as buses or pantechnicons.
Mounted on the van are a water-softening plant, Calor-gas-fired hot water boiler, specially developed cleansing liquid, hose reel and operating console complete with high pressure pump fitted with pulsation damper. Specially designed wands emit a fine spray of hot water mixed with detergent at a pressure of 500 p.s.i.; it is claimed that. there is no splash back.
At a recent demonstration a really grimy dust cart was cleaned in 17 minutes by two operators using separate wands, With . frequent use of the unit the cleaning time can be considerably reduced.
