Westmatic automatic bus wash systems are ideal for maintaining your fleet and your brand image. Westmatic machines have a low life-cycle cost using less water, fewer chemicals and less electricity than other machines on the market today.
Our sales engineers will help you choose the right equipment for your fleet whether you are purchasing a new machine, replacing existing equipment or designing a new facility. We work with your team to develop utility, infrastructure requirements and identify the equipment that will handling your wash needs for years to come.
Public transit fleets with a demanding wash schedule (more than 30-40 buses per day) are a perfect fit for Westmatic's Drive-Through machine. The Drive-Through reduces wash cycle time to about 90 seconds per bus. Our drive-through machines are completely customizable and can operate with brushes, in a touchless mode, or with a combination of both.
Bus fleets with a less demanding wash schedule (less than 30-40 buses per day) can choose a rollover or gantry machine. This style of machine directs the driver to pull into the wash bay and park. The machine begins to wash over the vehicle on a floor-mounted track system. Wash cycle time is about 5-6 minutes per bus.

The Westmatic 4-Brush Drive-Through "Transit-Master" bus wash system is designed for fleets with a high-volume wash schedule. This system is capable of washing transit buses with front-mounted bicycle racks. The wash cycle time is approximately 90 seconds.
Westmatic's brushes are electronically controlled, eliminating the need for costly, high-maintenance pneumatic air cylinder components. A set of full-length vertical brushes wash the front, sides and rear of the vehicle. A set of half-length brushes safely wash above the front mounted bicycle rack.
The wash bay also features a high-pressure chassis wash that keeps the bus undercarriage free of corrosive elements.
Westmatic wash systems are designed to use less water, fewer chemicals and less electricity than other machines on the market today.
In order to further reduce the ecological impact and water costs associated with washing a large fleet, Westmatic installed a water recycling system which will recycle up to 85% of the water used during the wash process. Instead of additional chemicals, Westmatic’s recycling system uses ozone injection to eliminate odor and bacteria.
