New one-bay self-service wash system SB OB from Kärcher: complete vehicle wash in a small space

With the new SB OB Kärcher offers a particularly compact one-bay self-service wash system for high-pressure washes of vehicles – especially where only limited space is available. Thanks to numerous configuration options, the self-service wash system can be flexibly adapted to the individual customer requirements. Whether it is for additional business or in-house vehicle washes – operators of service stations or car dealerships benefit from the proven "Made in Germany" Kärcher technology.

The SB OB can be configured as needed: for instance, in addition to the four standard wash programmes – high-pressure wash, foam wash, rinse and wax application – extra programmes for washing the wheel rims, care and maintenance and the removal of stubborn dirt can also be added. The system covers all cleaning and maintenance requirements of a complete vehicle wash.

Operating the system is incredibly simple for vehicle wash customers: the programme is selected using a rotary switch by means of symbols, LED lamps show the remaining running time.

Based on the programme configuration, the one-bay self-service wash system can be equipped with up to three wash tools. A power foam lance can be added to the high-pressure lance and foam brush. It enables two additional pre-wash programmes: power and wheel rim foam washes. The tools are stored at the device or in separate storage containers depending on the equipment. In addition, the system can be equipped with swivel arms, which guide the hoses around the vehicle.

For the technical equipment of the SB OB the operator has various options: water softening or osmosis system, with or without frost protection. Two different pumps are also available – 500 litres (100 bar) or 900 litres (120 bar). The system can be operated at up to 60 °C. The device cabinet contains a water softening or osmosis system, as well as the cleaning agent canisters. Safety locks ensure that only authorised personnel have access to the control unit or coin box, for example.

Proven technology: the "Made in Germany" system has particularly robust and durable components that are already used in other Kärcher self-service systems. Maintenance and service of the self-service wash system are facilitated by an intuitive touch screen. The visualisation makes it easy to adapt the settings for operator and service personnel.
