Project: Car Wash Sediments Extractor
Most car wash facilities make use of recycled water for their washing services. Over the course of washing, dirt and other debris along with the spent water find their way into a common reservoir where the water is subsequently skimmed off and filtered for reuse. The remaining reservoir sediments however, remain and eventually collect to a point where a hydrovac service truck is contracted to remove the sediments.
Each hydrovac service is expensive and results in some down-time of wash bay service. The project is to design an auger/conveyor/??? system that can be easily adapted to any existing car wash facility whereby the car wash vendor can themselves extract the reservoir sediments either "on-the-fly" during washing operations or after-hours.
