3D-brush

The BHB 3D brush is the solution to guarantee a perfect wash result for today and future vehicles with streamline and curved front areas.

The 3D brush is movable in all 3 axles (and free controllable in horizontally and vertical pitch, as well in height direction ) to position the brush cylinder in best impact to the surface. Every movement is controlled by encoders and driven by electric gear drives.

The 3D brush module is designed as add on to the BHB wash trolleys ESTW type and the BHB gantries EWR. type.

The 3 D brush is guided in a sturdy frame with maintenance-free skids, the swiveling movements is taken by heavy duty flange bearings.

All electric elements are high class IP protection rated, and sheltered by additional covers.

In accordance to the requirements the frame design is done in galvanized steel, powder coated, acid-resistant finished or in stainless steel. Chains and spray pipes are made in stainless steel.

The 3 D brush module is part of the complete wash system control program. The standard PLC control is designed to be customized with add on`s, like touch panel displays, multilingual user guide and remote access.

Technical Data

Length of brush: up to 2.000 mm
Weight: approx. 1.000kg per 3D brush
Electrical supply: 4,5kW

Spoiler brush

The BHB spoiler brush is the solution to clean the lower, but for the public visible, area of the front spoiler. Standard brushes are not able to cover this surface.

The BHB spoiler brush is designed to be free adjustable in horizontally and vertical pitch, as well in height movement. All movements are electronically controlled, and checked by encoders, and electric gear driven.
