Other Florida installations

Orlando, Tampa, Boca Raton and Port St. Lucie each have Europe Makine wash equipment on site. With Ocala and New Jersey, these six locations make up the US installations reference on europemakine.com.

Stages in a Europe Makine tunnel

The published example layout runs in seven stages. Entry has a platform and wheel guide. Pre-soak lays dirt-softening foam and chemicals. High pressure washes the wheels at 100 bar and the body at 20 bar.

A lava foam arch lays triple foam in three colors before the brushes: short and long verticals, two top brushes and a chemical arch. Protection follows with a ceramic arch, a rain repellent arch and a soft water rinse with drying agent.

The finish stage applies tire shine and runs three drying fan groups and a drying towel group, with wheel washing brushes at floor level.

New territories

Europe Makine is appointing distributors across the United States, one partner per territory. Each new partner works its first installation together with Europe Makine.

Outside the US, the company supplies Turkey and export markets including Germany, Poland, Italy, Romania, Azerbaijan and the UAE.
