Sustainability and technology in bus washing
ISTOBAL is committed to innovation and sustainability in its wash solutions, developing systems that optimise resources and reduce environmental impact without compromising service quality. Thanks to equipment connectivity through Smartwash by ISTOBAL, the automation of the wash process enables precise remote control, which facilitates efficient and centralised fleet management. Through automatic number plate recognition, the system identifies vehicles and autonomously manages the wash operation, optimising times and processes. The wash equipment incorporates energy-optimisation technologies that guarantee responsible use of resources and help minimise waste. In addition, their high level of adaptability makes it possible to effectively handle a wide variety of bus types, ensuring a deep and uniform clean on every vehicle, regardless of its size or configuration. With ISTOBAL, bus washing becomes an efficient, sustainable process with impeccable results, ensuring maximum hygiene and maintenance for every fleet.
Frequently asked questions about bus and coach wash machines
What advantages does automating bus washing with equipment connectivity offer?
Equipment connectivity, with Smartwash by ISTOBAL, enables digital management of the wash, automating the process, reducing waiting times and providing real-time data to optimise maintenance and resource consumption.
How much water can ISTOBAL wash systems save?
Thanks to their water recycling technologies, ISTOBAL machines can reduce consumption by up to 25%, guaranteeing an effective clean with a lower environmental impact.
Do ISTOBAL wash machines adapt to different types of buses?
Yes, the systems are designed to adjust to different types of buses, from standard vehicles to articulated models or those with special accessories such as large mirrors and raised roofs. For a tunnel with a top drying motor power of 2x7.5 kW and a side power of 2x7.5 kW, assuming a total power of 30 kW in its drying motors, with an average energy cost of €0.25/kWh, cost savings of up to €7,100 per unit per year could be achieved, with a reduction of up to 17.95 tonnes of CO2 per year. The Siemens frequency converters integrated into the drying make the drying motors run at a lower speed when no vehicle is detected in the drying area. This means significant savings in the facility's electricity consumption, as well as a reduction in noise and the resulting decrease in noise pollution.
Can the wash programs be customised according to the fleet's needs?
Yes, models such as the HW'PROGRESS2 allow you to configure up to 31 different wash programs, adapting to the specific requirements of each transport company.
What sustainability measures do ISTOBAL wash machines apply?
The systems include water recycling, energy consumption optimisation and the use of efficient chemical products, minimising the environmental impact of the bus wash process.
