Technologies for touchless car washes.

Less water and energy in every wash cycle. MULTI-BAR DRAGON is a system developed by TIXE's R&D department that combines resource savings with care for equipment durability.

The system optimises washing system operation and component loads. The benefits include both utility consumption and operating conditions for pumps, motors, solenoid valve diaphragms and pressure regulators — components essential to car wash uptime.

• Reduced water intake and process wastewater volume.
• Lower electrical energy demand from the washing system.
• Reduced loads on key components during day-to-day operation.

TIXE data indicates a 30% reduction in water consumption and wastewater volume, and a 50% reduction in electricity consumption within the washing system. We discuss the baseline and comparison conditions when selecting the configuration; these figures do not mean that all site costs fall by the stated percentages.

Water from reverse osmosis production can still be put to work. AQUARIUS collects reject water and directs it for reuse, for example for cleaning the car wash.

Reverse osmosis produces water for the final vehicle rinse and a reject stream. AQUARIUS uses a tank and pumping system to put the latter stream to use in selected applications. This recovers water from the treatment process; CYCLO-BOOSTER handles process wastewater after washing.

• Collection of reject water from the RO installation.
• Storage and pumping to planned water outlets.
• Reduced freshwater consumption for cleaning tasks.

A stable water supply for operating bays. HYDRO FORCE boosts supply pressure when connection parameters temporarily drop.

We match the system to the capacity of the mains or private water source and the car wash's demand. Pressure boosting helps maintain the conditions required by the technology when bays operate simultaneously. The starting point is measurements of the available water source and the site's planned load.

• Support during temporary drops in mains pressure.
• Suitable for use with a private water source.
• Selection based on source capacity and peak bay demand.

Wash quality starts with water quality. WATER PERFECT CLEAN prepares water for effective chemical performance and the final vehicle rinse.

The system combines pre-filters, two parallel softening columns, dechlorination through carbon filters and reverse osmosis. High-performance RO membranes supply final-rinse water, reducing mineral residue and drying marks. Water treatment also supports the durability of components in contact with water.

• Pre-filtration and water softening for wash programmes.
• Chlorine removal through carbon filters.
• Reverse osmosis for the final spot-free rinse and compatibility with AQUARIUS.

Abundant foam in the brush programme. DOUBLE POWER helps remove dirt while reducing water consumption.

DOUBLE POWER adds intensive foam aeration to the brush washing system. The programme can operate without starting the high-pressure pumps. This means fewer pump operating hours and lower energy demand at this stage of the wash.

• Brush system: abundant foam with efficient water use.
• Brush: intensive foaming to help remove dirt.
• Controls and dosing tailored to brush operation.

According to TIXE data: twice the foam production and 50% less water in the brush programme with DOUBLE POWER. Comparison requires matching configurations and operating conditions.

Know how your car wash is running, even when you are away. NetConnect provides the data needed for daily monitoring on your smartphone or tablet.

The app shows operating time, sales and revenue statistics broken down by the bays, programmes and devices included in the configuration. This makes it easier to assess service popularity, site utilisation and changes in customer behaviour. The data helps inform decisions about your offering and maintenance arrangements.

• View statistics on a smartphone or tablet.
• Performance of individual bays, programmes and devices.
• Information to support planning your offering and future development.

Payments to suit your customers. TIXE PAY lets you tailor cash, card and contactless payment options to wash bays and additional equipment.

Depending on the equipment, customers can use coins, tokens, banknotes, payment and loyalty cards, and NFC payments by phone or watch. Selection also covers fiscal recording and terminal connections. We plan the whole system together with the payment operator and equipment configuration.

• Cash and tokens in selected devices.
• Cards and contactless payments by phone or watch.
• Integration of payments, fiscal recording and payment operator services.

Coins from the bays arrive in one place. OCTOPUS transports coins and tokens from wash control panels to steel cash boxes in the technical container.

Vacuum transport moves them through pipes laid beneath the reinforced concrete floor. The selected turbines and pipes with a low-friction Teflon lining help coins flow smoothly. The operator collects the coins in the technical area, simplifying day-to-day cash handling.

• Collection of coins and tokens in the technical container.
• Transport pipes incorporated into the floor infrastructure.
• Can be combined with COIN FLOW for automatic coin changer replenishment.

Coins return to circulation. COIN FLOW automatically replenishes the coin changer with coins collected in the technical container.

Instead of manually carrying collected coins to the coin changer, the operator benefits from continuous circulation. Customers exchange banknotes for coins, and the coins return from the bays to the technical area. The solution reduces the frequency of manual hopper refills and makes servicing easier to organise.

• Automatic transfer of coins from cash boxes to the coin changer.
• Fewer tasks involved in manually replenishing coins.
• Works with the OCTOPUS coin transport system.

Technology that is convenient for the operator too. EASY TO USE is a car wash design approach that makes adjustment, day-to-day operation and servicing easier.

Chemical dosing is independent for each bay, programme and cleaning product. We mount pumps on vibration-reducing frames and design systems for efficient assembly and removal. Labelled and numbered cables, a touchscreen, and accessible water outlets and electrical sockets help with everyday work.

• Separate chemical dosing for bays and programmes.
• Access to equipment for inspections and upgrades.
• An organised electrical installation and intuitive controls.

A reason to return to your car wash. TIXE CARD supports regular customers and fleet services.

Cards can carry the standard TIXE design or the branding of a specific car wash. Suitably equipped coin changers can issue and top them up. We tailor individual discounts and fleet customer billing to the system configuration and loyalty programme rules.

• Cards with standard or custom artwork.
• Issuing and top-ups through a suitably equipped coin changer.
• Discounts and billing for regular customers and fleets.

Heating that responds to bay temperature. IHS reads data from sensors positioned directly in the floor.

The controller operates solenoid valves in the glycol circuit that heats the slab. Measuring temperature in the floor allows heating to respond to its actual conditions instead of relying solely on air temperature. This provides more precise heating control in winter.

• Temperature sensors integrated into the floor.
• Glycol flow controlled by solenoid valves.
• Reduced unnecessary heating and support for bay frost protection.

Automatic frost protection for the washing system. ANTI-FREEZE supports winter car wash operation without adding a separate set of frost-protection pumps and filters to the technical facilities.

The system uses the controls built into TIXE technology. Fewer additional components simplify maintenance and seasonal preparation. ANTI-FREEZE protects the washing system, while IHS controls floor heating — we select both solutions to suit local conditions.

• Automatic control of washing system protection.
• A solution integrated with TIXE technology.
• Winter preparation covering equipment, settings and site maintenance.

Protection planned alongside the technology. TECH SECURITY helps protect equipment during temporary interruptions to water and power supplies.

The system includes power supply protection, restart when suitable conditions return, equipment earthing and active ventilation of the electrical cabinet. Water supply monitoring reduces the risk of high-pressure pumps running under unsuitable conditions, while ventilation helps remove heat during intensive operation.

• System response to temporary power or water loss.
• Earthing of equipment and installations.
• Active electrical cabinet ventilation and controlled restart.

Technical facilities designed for car wash technology. The prefabricated TIXE technical container is built to accommodate the weight of tanks, boilers and other equipment.

The floor combines Cetris structural cement board with chequered stainless steel. PIR sandwich panels provide insulation, while the frame is protected by four coating layers. Reinforced doors, stainless steel canopies and ventilation grilles complete the structure. We install the equipment at the factory, then transport the fitted technical container to the site and position it by crane.

• Prepared service openings for water, drainage, heating, coins and electrical installations.
• Service space and ventilation matched to the equipment layout.
• Technical container size matched to the Rapid or Express line and the planned equipment.

Precision prepared at the factory. We calculate the car wash structure for the project location, taking snow and wind loads into account.

Steel components are produced from fabrication drawings, then cut, welded and hot-dip galvanised at the factory. On site, we assemble the prepared components using a crane and bolted connections. Eliminating on-site welding makes the work easier to organise and shortens structural assembly.

• Structural calculations matched to local conditions.
• Factory preparation and protection of components.
• On-site assembly using bolted connections.
