Ceiling or wall-mounted booms : the evolution in industrial cleaning
The world of maintenance and cleaning has seen many developments over the years, and one of the most striking innovations has been the introduction of ceiling or wall-mounted wash poles. These revolutionary tools have considerably simplified cleaning tasks, particularly in industrial and commercial environments. In this article, we explore in detail the advantages and applications of ceiling or wall-mounted wash poles.
1. The Essence of Washing Booms
Ceiling or wall-mounted wash poles are devices designed to free up space and allow you to walk around the equipment to be cleaned, which would otherwise be more difficult with more traditional methods. They are mainly used in industrial and commercial sectors such as Automotive and Transport (car, motorcycle and boat dealerships, airlines, railways, shipping, etc.), Food and Agriculture (food processing, butcheries, fish shops, stables, etc.) and Manufacturing (metallurgy, plastics and rubber, etc.). These booms are characterized by their ability to rotate smoothly, 360° for ceiling booms and 180° for wall booms.
2. Advantages of wash booms
Available space:
- Ceiling-mounted boom : These are suspended from the ceiling and are ideal when you have limited floor space. They also maximize floor space.
- Wall-mounted boom: Wall-mounted wash poles are ideal when vertical ceiling space is limited, but walls are available.
Reach and height :
- Ceiling-mounted wash poles can offer greater reach, which can be useful for cleaning large surfaces or taller vehicles.
- Wall-mounted booms generally have a more limited reach, which may be sufficient for everyday cleaning needs.
Flexibility :
- Ceiling-mounted wash poles can be more flexible in terms of positioning, as they are suspended and can or be moved more easily.
- Wall-mounted booms are generally more fixed and less adaptable in terms of position.
Before making a decision, it is advisable to consult cleaning professionals or suppliers of high pressure washing equipment to discuss your specific needs and obtain recommendations tailored to your situation.
3. Different types of wash poles
Ceiling boom
Ceiling boom Z-series: The unique shape of Z-Booms allows the installation of multiple ceiling booms in one wash bay. This make it possible to add profitable services such as foam applications ans Air Drying to your existing programs.
Straight ceiling boom: It has uses in many industrial fields. a few examples are car wash, food processing, mining and manufacturing. A real all-around product with versatile applications anywhere liquids, air or gas are used.
Dual ceiling boom : It is commonly installaed as tunnel prep, detail or fleet wash applications. This is the area where they are most frequently used. If used in a self-services car wash, we recommend to connect the foam brush to the upper boom and the high pressure wand to the lower boom.
Wall boom: Wall-mounted booms are ideal for outdoor areas or in wash bays where ceiling mounts are not an option. The wall bracket is designed for the boom to return to the resting position you selected.
Wall-boom extension: Whenever extended lenghts and maximum flexibility are required, the wasll-boom extension is perfect for the job. Prime examples are truck wash bays, mining facilities, air crast maintenance and manufacturing plants. When combined correctly, a working radius of 39 feet is possible.
4. Conclusion
Ceiling or wall-mounted cleaning booms represent a major advance in industrial cleaning. Their ability to reach long surfaces efficiently and safely makes them indispensable tools in many sectors. Thanks to their versatility, efficiency and ability to improve workplace safety, these booms are set to play an increasingly important role in the maintenance and cleaning sector in the future.
