WRTA VEHICLE MAINTENANCE FACILITY FEATURES WESTMATIC 3-BRUSH ROLLOVER WASH SYSTEM

Worcester Regional Transit Authority (WRTA) recently opened a new 150,000 sq. ft. vehicle maintenance, storage and operations facility. The facility incorporates sustainable design and environmentally friendly features. A Westmatic wash system was selected as these systems use less water, electricity and chemicals than comparable wash systems.

 

The wash bay features a Westmatic 3-Brush Rollover Bus Wash System which enables WRTA to wash their fleet of buses, vans and other non-revenue vehicles. This Rollover is a combination machine that can wash in brush, touchless or combination mode depending on the vehicle’s configuration.

 

The Rollover thoroughly washes the vehicle using a top horizontal brush and two vertical side brushes. The brushes intelligently wash around mirrors and other vehicle protrusions.

 

In keeping with the sustainable design of this new facility, a Westmatic water recycling system was incorporated. The recycling system uses stainless steel hydro-cyclones for mechanical separation, reducing particle size to 10 microns. No chemicals or other additives are necessary as the process uses ozone injection which safely eliminates odor-causing bacteria and accelerates solids precipitation.

 

While this facility was a new build, Westmatic’s Rollover Wash System can be installed in most existing wash bays making it ideal for retrofit.
