Aircraft Wheel Washer

The standard model uses recirculating, hot alkaline aqueous solution sprayed onto the wheel at high pressure to remove oil, grease, and dirt. At the same time, the rotating brush scrubs the external wheel surface to remove accumulated rubber on the bead seat area. The wheel is then rinsed with fresh water and blow-off dried.

Based on our experience, mechanical scrubbing is the most effective method for removing embedded rubber residues without the application of solvents. To achieve similar results utilizing only water pressure, extensive pressure above 300psi would be required, resulting in more system maintenance and a shorter life span for system components.
