System Overview

1) Wash pad. this should be about 5' wider than the largest piece of equipment to be washed. A lip is provided at the borders for containment. The pad slopes toward a collection pit or catch basin.

2) Equipment is driven onto the pad for washing and rinsing.

3) Pressure washer necessary for cleaning equipment.

4) Catch Basin. Installed below grade and plumbed adjacent to the location of the recycling machine. A grate strong enough to be driven over covers the catch basin. The grate acts as a screen for large sediment which can be cleared as needed. For smaller sediment such as grass clippings, etc., a finer mesh screen may be used on top of the grate.

5) Used wash water is pumped automatically from the catch basin to the recycling machine for cleaning.

6) Recycling Machine. The volume of wash water you generate determines the model to use. Water passes through the machine, contaminants are removed and the clean water is stored in a holding tank for reuse.

7) Separated contaminants are collected in either bag filters or on filter cloth which dumps the residue into a container for disposal. Clean water for reuse by the pressure washer for equipment cleaning.
