Technical Data

Biological pre-treatment The previously cleaned water in the sludge trap is aerated in the drainage tank with the membrane aerator and the polluted particles are biologically (aerobically) broken down by existing micro-organisms. The biological process is supported through a time controlled circulation of polluted water through the drainage tank and sludge trap. Polluted water filtering and recycled water storage The submersible pump forces level-controlled the pre-cleaned polluted water over the quartz-gravel filter into the recycled water storage tank. The quartz-gravel filter is passed through from the top to the bottom, so that the dirt particles can be deposited on the filter gravel. In this way, only filtered recycling water flows in the recycled water tank. Filter cleaning When dirty, the quartz-gravel filter must be cleaned by means of a back-rinse process. This process succeeds within approx. 7 minutes fully-automatic and time controlled. During this process, the wash unit is fed with the water stored in the recycled water tank. With the Fontis 30 the containers can be rinsed alternately ( one container is always active). Recycled water tank The recycled water is aerated in the storage tank by means of a membrane and is additionally circulated over the entire cycle. Increased oxygen entry and circulation prevent the anaerobic fermentation, which otherwise create unpleasant odours. Salt content measurement The salt content in the water is measured by means of electric conductivity. Should the adjustable limiting value be exceeded by increased salt content, then the salt content is reduced by adding fresh water.

The intelligent water recycling system

This is how it functions

Water ist a precious natural resource and must be used sparingly. Drink water is too valuable to be used for washing vehicles. Which is why it makes most sense to recirculate water used for washing vehicles. Increasing fresh water supply and drainage costs are pushing car wash operators to seek a solution to these environmental and financial dilemmas.

Your advantages: Favorable price/performance ratio Automatic back-flush High cleaning performance Space-saving variable construction Integrated supply pump and built-in air compressor User-friendly operation with SPC control Upgrade possibility through chemical pre-treatment for polluted water Conductivity meteringdevice

Fresh Water

Polluted water feed and sedimentation The use water from the vehicle wash flows into the sludge trap and on into the L settlement tank where the sedimentation a process takes place.

Back rinse

The FONTIS 30 has been especially designed for recycling drainage water from wash tunnels and larger truck and bus as well as train wash units with a recycling capacity of 30,000 litres per hour. Water recirculation and compliance with specified official limiting values are complied with just as are the demands for an automatic water recycling system with optional upgrade components.
