Change can be a daunting prospect, especially when you allow fear to control how you make your decisions. Many of us are creatures of habit, to a degree, so sometimes change has to be a slow and gradual process. Other times you just have to take a satisfying leap of faith. Take, for example, the cleaning equipment that you purchase. You’re in need of a new cleaning machine and you’ve been with your current machine supplier for as long as you can remember. You know your machines to the letter - how to operate them, the type of service you will receive if an issue arises... You don’t want to feel disloyal by changing suppliers, but you recognise that there may be a solution out there that better suits your purpose. If you’re sceptical of change, you don’t know what you could be missing out on. Here at Morclean, we offer a comprehensive range of industrial cleaning equipment solutions, whether you’re an established business or a budding entrepreneur looking to start-up your own bin cleani...

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...

The wash system comprises of water recycling, silt traps, interceptors and water storage tanks, whilst contained within a purpose-built gantry with screens to allow access to the tops of vehicles when being washed, whilst containing over-spray. The project has been completed in 3 phases; civil works, steelworks and installing the systems. Phase 1: Civil Works To kickstart the exciting project, civil works are carried out to prepare for the installation of the underground tanks.  The first port of call was marking out the site. This had to be meticulously done to ensure the dimensions are absolutely perfect before pecking out the existing concrete. Once the concrete had been removed, it was time to excavate for a 6CuM3 Silt Trap and a 10CuM3 Interceptor tank. In order to make room for the below ground interceptor and silt trap, approximately 100 tonnes of spoil ...

We went for a little test run with one of our brand new Bin Wash machines . It has been brilliant! It is really easy to use, looks good and cleans bins super fast! The water is safely captured, and the first filter can be lifted any time for access. (See bottom picture.) The second filter is also removable so you can clean it when needed. The lance has a nifty little holder that it slots into when not in use. The bin lift easily slots under the lip of the bin and elevates in just a push of a button (see picture 2).  If you would like any information on these excellent machines, please see our website and call us - 01246 471147. Email info@morclean.com for queries.  Also, dont forget we will be showcasing one of these Bin Wash machines at the Cleaning show next month! Yikes, not far away now! Don't forget to register for tickets.
