Even in a professional environment, bicycles and motorbikes are still cleaned by hand, usually with a garden hose and flannel. This is time-consuming, especially in hard-to-reach places such as the wheel hub, gear shift, the inside of the brakes, ball bearings and gears, and often produces unsatisfactory results.
Alternatively, high-pressure cleaners are often used; however, this requires expensive cleaning systems with their own installations, up to and including high-pressure cleaners in a separate tiled cleaning room with its own drainage system – yet the results are not much better.
For the cleaning of bicycles and motorbikes, the low-pressure hot cleaning process - low pressure of up to 7.5 or 14 bar and high temperatures of up to 95°C - is combined with large collectors on which the bicycles are cleaned. For bicycles, collectors with a size of 265 x 130 cm are frequently used, but other sizes, e.g. for motorbikes, are also available.
In this way, all sorts of models can be covered, from children's bikes to cargo bikes or recumbents, and from mopeds to Harley Davidsons.
With the low-pressure hot cleaning process, dirt is removed quickly and easily even from hard-to-reach places such as the gear shift or the hubs, without causing any damage. The latter also applies to sensitive parts such as the hubs, from which no grease should be squeezed, and the batteries of e-bikes.
The associated collectors can stand on fixed feet or castors. The bicycle or motorbike can be pushed onto the collecrot via a ramp. The service water can be returned to the low-pressure hot cleaning unit and recycled.
