Morclean’s vehicle wash bay projects are a fundamental part of the business. S ince the turn of the new century - f rom concept and design, right through to civils and installation - our team has delivered countless successful turnkey projects throughout the UK and beyond  with a gritty determination and focus to deliver on time, and on budget. From Morclean's early beginnings as a supplier of mobile hot water jet wash machines, we eventually added hot static/fixed hot water machines to our portfolio in the late 80’s. In the early '90s, we began supplying fuel tanks and accessories - such as hose reels, user posts, remote controls, etc. - with the machine.  We continued to evolve, supplying housing/GRP, gantries, silt traps, interceptors, and water reclaim systems.  Then, in the early 2000s, Morclean did one of its early civils projects, where the team installed silt traps, interceptors, and a wash bay. We were hooked! Gradually increasing our workload year-on-yea...

We were recently approached by a client who was looking for a viable solution for cleaning and re-using water, for washing plant hire that has been returned from hire. Our MD, Peter Morley, got his R&D cap on and set about inventing a new wash water recovery system. We’ve now designed, prototyped, manufactured, and tested the new wash pad, which is the same as our regular wash pad, but smaller and deeper at 3x2m or 3x3m (L x W) and a depth of 180mm. The new system catches and collects the water on the wash pad. The water is then pumped from the pad to the reclaim system. Water enters the system and is pushed through a bag filter to remove debris and oils, and then on through a mesh filter to remove finer silt. The systems downpipes guarantee that oil remains free-floating, and any remaining oil is trapped in the absorbent pads. Lastly, a cartridge filter ensures that any free-floating solids are removed. The water is then pumped into the jet wash with a level control. The techn...
